Hard Rock
Hard rock is a form of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Hard rock is a heavier, louder and more aggressive form of rock music than the other styles that preceded it. Hard rock bands typically use electric guitars, drums and bass guitar to create a sound that is both powerful and aggressive. Hard rock artists often write lyrics that deal with topics such as sex, drugs and violence.
Punk Rock
Punk rock is a music genre that emerged in the mid-1970s. Inspired by earlier punk rock bands such as the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, punk rock bands rejected the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk rock was an influence on subsequent rock genres, including alternative rock, thrash metal, emo and pop punk.
Alternative Rock
Alternative rock is a broad umbrella term that encompasses a wide variety of subgenres. This book looks at the origins and evolution of alternative rock, from its beginnings in the 1980s to its present-day incarnation. It covers a wide range of topics, including the history of alternative rock, the different subgenres within the genre, and the artists who have shaped it.
Grunge Rock
Grunge rock music is a subgenre of alternative rock that became popular in the early 1990s. Grunge typically features heavy guitars, distorted vocals, and dark, angsty lyrics. The genre rose to prominence in the wake of Nirvana’s success and was further popularized by other Seattle-based bands such as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
