There are also many other types of different rock music that have instruments that are known as the organ and the piano as well as the synthesizers in it as well. You will notice that rock music has a back beat that is strong and the beat is known to normally revolve around what is known as the electric guitar. In the nineteen fifties era there was rock and roll as well as rockabilly. Then in the nineteen sixties you had the rock music that was often combined with folk music so that they are able to generate folk rock. They also had rock music that was blended with jazz so that they could generate jazz rock fusion. In the nineteen seventies there were times that the rock music was blended with influences from soul as well as funk and Latin music. It was also known in the nineteen seventies that rock music was also able to create a variety of different subgenres that were known as soft rock and blues rock as well as heavy metal rock and progressive rock not to mention punk rock and techno rock. In the nineteen eighties the rock subgenres included hard rock as well as Indie rock and alternate rock. When it comes to the nineteen nineties there was grunge style rock as well as Indie rock and Britpop.
Now let's take the time to talk about the origins of rock and roll. Rock and roll is known to have originated from rhythm and blues as well as country. Rock and roll started out in the United States back in the nineteen fifties. There were artists that were known to be played to African American crowds such as Chuck Berry as well as Little Richard and Bo Diddley. Even though these different key early rockers were known to be indisposed to racism, there were local authorities as well as dance halls that were very well divided into racial lines. However rock and roll really hit the big times in the nineteen fifties when there were people such as Elvis Pressley as well as Bill Haley and the Comets along with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper that were joining into the rock and roll scene. These artists played and toured together in the dance halls as well as in the clubs.
