Line 1: − '''Rock and roll''' ('''Rock music''') is an [[American]] music genre started in the early 1950s. It evolved from [[rhythm and blues]], [[blues music]] and [[country music]].+ − The name implies fornication in a car.<ref>http://www.history-of-rock.com/</ref> − − − ==Foundations of rock== − Rock is characterized by a strong back-beat, simple repeated phrases, and electrically amplified instrumentation such as [[guitars]]. − − ==Instrumentation== − *[[Electric guitar]] − *[[Bass guitar]] − *[[Drum kit]] − *[[Keyboards]] − *[[Piano]] ''(sometimes)'' − − ==Cultural Impact== − The music is often associated with rebellion because its loud and impudent style was repulsive to traditional parents. It grew more popular during the 60s, when [[Hippies|the Hippie movement]] spread. Whether everybody genuinely wanted peace in [[Vietnam]], or they just liked [[Jimi Hendrix]], rock 'n' roll kept its rowdy and independent spirit. Ever since it began, it's been drawing young people "out on [their] own / like a rolling stone" ([[Bob Dylan]]). − − ==Rock sub-genres== − There are many genres of rock music, such as [[hard rock]], [[soft rock]], [[heavy metal]], [[country rock]], and many others. − − ==Worldwide popularity== − The popularity of rock music has spread worldwide. One place other than America where rock proved especially popular was [[Britain]], home to [[The Beatles]]. − − Some countries create their own version of rock, often adding lyrics of the singers' native country. − − ==Criticism== − [[Christian]] groups often criticized early rock music for, among other things, having a hypnotic beat, which could inspire animalistic urges in listeners. − − "The music is loud, primitive, insistent, strongly rhythmic and releases in an undisguised way the all-too tenuously controlled, newly acquired physical impulses of the teenager. Mix this up with the phenomenon of mass hypnosis, contagious hysteria and the blissful feeling of being mixed-up in an all-embracing, orgiastic experience, and every kid can become ‘Lord of the Flies’ or the Beatles." -- ''The Marxist Minstrels'', Rev. [David A. Noebel http://www.summit.org/about/], 1974. − − Rock music in general, and especially [[Heavy Metal]], have been accused of promoting [[Satanism]]<ref>Dial-the-Truth Ministries: [http://www.av1611.org/rock.html Rock Music: Devil's Advocate]</ref><ref>Ibid, [http://www.av1611.org/othpubls/roots.html THE SATANIC ROOTS OF ROCK]</ref>, illicit sexuality<ref>[http://www.temcat.com/Chritian-Living/rockmusc.htm History of Rock Music], by Dr. [[Ruben Gonzalez]] − </ref>, [[Suicide]]<ref>[http://www.illuminati-news.com/art-and-mc/rock-and-suicide.htm ROCK MUSIC AND SUICIDE]</ref>, and drug use<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/24/popandrock.drugsandalcohol Rock music's shooting stars]</ref>. − − "According to Staulcup, a steady diet of rock and roll junk promotes degenerate rebelliousness among teenagers that finds its outlet in drugs, alcohol and illicit sex... Staulcup concludes that rock and roll is the biggest legalized racket this country has ever seen. If we value civilization, we cannot afford to ignore any longer the high correlation between the multibillion dollar hard rock racket and the explosion of drug use and illicit sex among their teenage victims." In 1978, a California music therapist, investigating the effects of rock music on teenagers, administered to 240 school children aged 10 -18 an emotional stability test during which rock was played. The results were then examined by a psychologist who was unaware of the experiment. He concluded that the test had been given in a mental institution." -- [http://www.temcat.com/Chritian-Living/rockmusc.htm Phyllis Schlafly] − − ===The Occult Roots of Rock and Roll=== − Rock Music has been linked with Satanism and occultism since it was invented.<br/> − JImi Hendrix associated with practicioners of [[Voodoo]], and used their occult rhythms in his music.<ref>[http://www.inplainsite.org/html/rock_and_the_occult.html]</ref><br/> − The infamous Satan-worshipping occultist, [[Aleister Crowley]], was a major influence on Rock Music, to the point of his picture appearing on the cover of the [[Beatles]]' ''Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' album.<ref>http://www.illuminati-news.com/art-and-mc/rockmusic-and-crowley.htm Rock Music and Crowley]</ref>, and he was idolized by later 'musicians' such as [[Ozzy Osbourne]] and [[Marilyn Manson]]. − − ==Early rock pioneers== − *[[Chuck Berry]] − *[[Bo Diddley]] − *[[Little Richard]] − *[[Elvis Presley]] − *[[Roy Orbison]] − *[[Jerry Lee Lewis]] − *[[The Beach Boys]] − *[[The Beatles]] − − − == References == − {{reflist}} − − ==See also== − *[[Rhythm and blues]] − *[[Jazz]] − *[[Backwards Masking]] − *[[Subliminal Messages]] − − − ==External References== − *[http://www.inplainsite.org/html/Page12c_rock_music.html InPlainSight.org: Secular and "Christian" Rock] − −
