Document Summary
Unit one: studying popular music basic tools. Rock music was born out of controversy and has a rebellious image. By the 1950s adult were shocked with elvis presley"s empathic blues- influenced and suggestive dance moves. There is only a small portion of rock that has been the source of controversy or cultural struggle, nonconformity and misbehaviour are central to the rock movement. Determining what rock means is not easy. The term rock and roll term from some scholars is to describe the first wave of rock from 1954 to 1959. Other scholars describe music after 1964 as rock . The development of classic-rock radio format in the early 1990s also encouraged a growing sense of rock"s history. Charts help us avoid the fan mentality in a sense that they keep us honest. Scholars view charts with suspicion because little is known about how they have been put together in the past, which makes them susceptible to manipulation.
