Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as “rock and roll” in the United States in the 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew heavily from African-American genres such as blues, rhythm and blues, and from country music. Rock music also drew inspiration from gospel, folk, jazz, and classical music.
The term “rock” was originally used to describe a variety of genres, including rock and roll, rockabilly, pop, soul, rhythm and blues, and country. In the 1960s, these genres were merged to form what is now known as rock music.
