Someone asked before if rock music shouldn’t be very high. Why is the Beatles considered rock music?

Part One, the prelude to the birth of rock music

Original by One Inch Knife Mark

First, let’s look at the history of the United States. After the black slaves were liberated, there was nothing they could do about it. Although they worked collectively, the life of black slaves was still not guaranteed. Adding to the problems of racial discrimination... the life of black people was often very miserable.

In the past, the labor chants used by black people during collective labor (similar to the songs of comrades working harder) have also become solo performances.

These songs sung alone inherited the previous scale and were more melancholy (the scale is 1 b3 4 b5 5 b7, b is a flat), and became blues songs (blues)

Later, some blues songs strengthened the rhythm and the drum part was highlighted, which became rhythm and blues (Ramp; B, R is rhythm, B is blues)

Attention! These songs were black music that white people disdained to listen to. Not even white farmers listened

Part 2, the birth of rock and roll

Original by One Inch Knife Mark

Later, some people developed rhythm and blues, making this The style absorbed the ordinary pop music of white people (Tingpan Lane music). Well, it was actually a little more sophisticated and still belonged to rhythm and blues, but in fact this was early rock and roll. (Note that early pop music did not have drums, only black music had drums)

Then, due to historical coincidence, there were several poor white people, such as Elvis Presley, who grew up with black people. Big, influenced by black people, the musical foundation is rhythm and blues, and he can also sing country music. Of course, as a white man, he also knows a little bit about ordinary pop music.

Such a singer can attract blacks, whites, and farmers at the same time. Record companies naturally develop vigorously.

This is rock and roll.

In other words, 50 years ago, anything with drums mixed with some normal music styles (as opposed to pure roaring and purely black-style music) was called rock and roll.

At the same time, rock and roll could also be used as a dance music in that era.

Later, the British paid more attention to melody and strengthened the melody part of rock music. For example, the Beatles you asked were the early representatives of British rock.

The third stage. The development of rock and the distortion of its impression.

An Inch Knife Original

On the one hand, rock music has different bands that highlight the characteristics of black music (mainstream rock), the characteristics of country music (country rock), and the characteristics of white music (pop, Pop rock)

On the other hand, it is also developing in a heavier and faster direction, thus giving birth to hard rock. We say that now, rock generally refers to hard rock. In fact, hard rock It's not very different from mainstream rock. But there is really no difference between early rock & roll and blues. Anything that is slightly different can be classified as hard rock, and anything that is not different is blues.

Hard For rock music, just listen to the songs of the band The Who.

Starting from hard rock, rock music was officially born. After that, rock music went through several developments.

First of all, in the late 1960s, hard rock gradually developed into heavy metal. In the transition stage, there were three famous bands, led zeppelin, a blues-hard rock group.

Deep Purple is a hard rock band with hints of heavy metal.

Black sabbath is the beginning of heavy metal.

Starting from Black Sabbath, the concept of riff (repeated section) was highlighted and the sound was very heavy. From this, heavy metal was officially born.

Later, Britain became politically unstable, and music became more and more inclined to be pretentious, so a bunch of bands that directly criticized *** were born. Their playing style was high-speed, simple, and primitive. Thus, punk music was born.

Later, the heavy metal revival (started in the UK) removed the characteristics of hard rock and blues and became official heavy metal music. At this point, pure heavy metal was officially born.

As a result, everyone’s impression of rock has changed from pop music with drums to heavy metal and punk music... At the same time, some *** regard electronic dance music as rock music, because in some In electronic dance music, the DJ often shouts for us to shake. Although electronic dance music is HIGH, it has nothing to do with rock. Maybe rock is just synonymous with "rebellion"

Rock music originated from the western swing of the United States:

In the 1930s, due to the economic downturn in the southeastern United States, record sales dropped sharply, and country music It can only maintain its audience through a large number of radio programs.

There are too many female rock singers, and girls who sing rock music are generally smarter, unlike many pop singers who are basically just flowerpots.

Today’s rock music is very developed in the West, but I rarely listen to Chinese rock music. I’m not a fan of Western culture, but I have very few channels and few excellent works. Western rock can also be popular, but we cannot. After all, we are a country overrun with pop music.

Question 9: What is rock and roll? What is the meaning of rock music? What is rock n' roll? This question needs to be answered thousands of times. In fact, as long as a new generation appears in the hall of music, this question will be raised again. So, what is Rock N' Roll? First of all Rock and roll is not only a form of music, but in fact it is an "attitude and philosophy of life." It is precisely because of this that rock and roll is different from ordinary pop music (Pop Music).

Although some singers now use guitar solos in their performances and use a lot of feedback (Fadeback), distortion (Distortion) and other effects, the drum part is as heavy as the real thing, but due to the lack of "spirit" in the creation This theme is, at best, just pop music packaged in "rock".

"Spirit" can actually be described in one word, that is "change". Early rock combined blues and country music (Blues & County), but in fact these two styles of music were contradictory to each other at the time.

At that time, many musicians were dissatisfied with this division, so they combined this kind of music to form the form of rock music
