Rock music, the more energetic genre

Jenson Mahr, Staff Writer

Rock music has been around longer than rap music. We have experienced different types of rock, including hard rock, alternative rock, heavy metal, and indie rock What most people look for in their music is positive emotions that make them feel good, which rock is great at.

Rock music can also help reduce stress and even regulate mood. Personally, I gain more positive vibes from listening to rock music than any other genre. There is more instrumental music to rock songs that help catch the picture of each song. Instruments are the most important part of songs and rock music always has that. 

Some of the most popular rock bands are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. These rock bands were some of the bands that made rock music what it is today. From listeners all over the world, they would travel everywhere for everyone to hear their music. 

Back then around the 1960s-1990s rock music was in its prime. The beginning of rock n’ roll began when Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry gave it the boost it needed to go mainstream. In the beginning, people started to become interested in rock while concentrating on the sounds of instruments and rhythm. 

When the technology of musical instruments improved, the electric guitar became popular. When I listen to rock music, I also find the electric guitar most appealing and the beating of the drums. The sound of rock music keeps the blood flowing and increases adrenaline. 

If you want to listen to some artists who would help create this momentum of positive vibes, I would encourage Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Van Halen, and Audioslave.  All of the top 25 best-selling albums of all time sold over 18 million copies each, and the best-selling debut album is a rock album.

Rock music takes more time to produce, especially when you are in a band with a group of people because everyone has to work together. Other genres like rap and pop only have to create lyrics and beats to their music which does not take as long as rock music. Rock music has been more successful even when taking longer to produce it. 

If you are looking to enjoy music that will help get the blood flowing, rock music is the best choice out of all the genres. Rock music is the greatest genre of music to listen to when feeling down.
