French Rock

French rock refers to the rock music genre that originated in France and gained popularity from the 1960s onward. It incorporates a mix of influences, including traditional French music, pop, and international rock styles. Artists like Johnny Hallyday, France Gall, and later groups like Téléphone and Noir Désir, helped shape the scene. The lyrics often reflect French culture, politics, and social issues, distinguishing it from English-speaking rock. Over the years, French rock has evolved, giving rise to various subgenres and new artists while maintaining a unique identity within the broader rock music landscape.
