Rock and Roll

Rock and roll is a genre of popular music that emerged in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It blends elements of rhythm and blues, country, and jazz, characterized by a strong backbeat and electric guitar riffs. Rock and roll is not just a music style; it also represents a cultural movement that influenced fashion, attitudes, and social norms, particularly among youth. Iconic figures like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard helped popularize the genre, which laid the foundation for many contemporary styles and continues to impact music and popular culture today.
