Yusef Lateef - Introlude

Bands like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were created within the 1960’s. The rise of new emerging artists familiarized the public to the sound of rock ‘n roll. From their iconic stage presence, there were higher levels of energy produced during performances in both the bands and the crowd.

When the 80s hit it was time for stronger, crazier, and overall intensive music to be created... This was not only because of their instrumentals, but because of their messages behind the music. Their reason of being focused on having a good time, which included a lot of partying with a lot women. Of course, there were adults who were against the impressionable youth listening to more vulgar music.

Rock ‘n roll today has taken a back seat in the world of music. The new generation is all about genres including pop, alternative, and rap. I do not see many people my age enjoying the intense sounds of classic rock music from the past. There are many groups that are trying to make a name for themselves in the modern rock scene, but not many people know about them.

It was formed by a combination of the blues, gospel music, and country. Throughout the decades, rock ‘n roll has evolved and become famous for being the genre that’s continued to push the boundaries of music, and, sometimes, the cultural boundaries of society itself. In the 1950s rock ‘n roll could be defined as rhythm and blues. In the 1960s it was partial to new musical styles such as folk rock and soul. And in the 1970s hard rock was born. From the 1980s to the present, technology has had an enormous impact on the music industry. Good taste is the enemy of the revolution. This remark epitomizes the spirit of rock ‘n roll. You’re not expected to conform, you’re expected to be yourself… no matter what anyone thinks. You are admired deeply for expressing emotions such as anger, heartbreak, and sadness through music in a...
