□Let’s talk about Rock & Roll first
In its purest form, the so-called rock is three chords plus a hard and continuous drum beat and a spoken melody. Early rock music came from a wide range of sources, including blues, R&B, and country music, as well as gospel music, traditional pop music, jazz, and folk music. All these influences add up to a simple blues-based song structure that's fast, danceable, and easy to remember. The first rock stars—Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, Carl Perkins, and many others—established the style of rock music. model, and one that would be followed for the next forty years. In every decade, there are always many artists who copy the music of the first rock musicians, while the remaining artists either expand the original definition of rock and roll, or completely break the limitations of the genre. mode. From British invasion, folk rock, psychedelic rock, to hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and punk, in fact every rock subgenre was loyal to the most basic structure of rock when it was first produced. But once this change occurred, traditional rock gradually disappeared from the pop charts - although some artists remained bright. There are some bands, such as the Rolling Stones and the Faces, who always adhere to the most basic rules of traditional rock, but they make the music faster and freer. Other bands, such as proto-punks the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, and the Stooges, retained the basic structure of their music but took on a more menacing element to their act. There are also some artists who became rock traditionalists, such as Dave Edmunds and Graham Parker, who wrote songs and produced records that never left the rock and roll model of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although the term rock has come to refer to more and more different styles of music in the decades since its emergence, the essence of the music has never changed.
□Then Punk
A type of rock music, or "punk rock", developed in the mid-1970s and spread throughout the United States in the early 1980s. Punk responded to the weakening resistance of rock music and appeared as a deliberate opposition to more civilized rock music. It inherits the rebellious spirit from the beginning of rock music, defying all traditions, government, religion, educational institutions, etc., but it is expressed in a more decadent way, with extreme anarchist words and deeds. Their lyrics are obscene and rude; they scream, stamp their feet, and fight on the stage; their music is closer to hard rock, with loudspeakers and strong and deep timbres. Representative bands include the Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc.
In the late 1970s, a new breed separated from punk that was more acceptable and more artistic, called "New Wave".
□★★The punk we are talking about now is more punk-pop, such as sum41, blink182, etc.
Pop punk is a post-garage style branch of alternative rock. Combining the melodies and chord changes of pop energy with the rhythms of speed punk and non-stop guitar strumming. Green Day and Weezer were the first to popularize this variation of alternative rock in 1994, although there had been a number of bands that had played this style of music before. After their success, many musicians imitated their style and created music.
□ Rap (Rap)
Black slang, equivalent to "talking" (talking), originated from the poor black areas of New York. It is characterized by the rapid utterance of a series of rhymed verses against a background of mechanical rhythmic sounds. One source of this form is the rapid, rhyming jargon used by radio presenters in the past when introducing records. Lapper's lyrics are humorous, witty and often satirical, and were especially popular among black people in the 1980s. The most representative band is "Public Enemy". Lepp is sometimes also called "hip-hop" (hip-hop). In fact, hip-hop has a broader meaning and refers to various elements of New York street culture at that time. In addition to Lapp, there are also: (often used by Lapp) placing hand handles on the front and back of the record on the turntable. Moving and making a rhythmic scratching sound; the record player's (DJ's) technique of not hearing any trace of interruption when changing records and splicing the music pieces of the record; break dancing, etc.
□Pop
A modern pop music with a strong beat. It is generally believed that pop music can be divided into a broad sense and a narrow sense. “Pop” here refers to pop music in a narrow sense, such as the famous singers Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, and Whitney Houston in the 1970s and 1980s. Many songs sung by Whitney Houston, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Janet Jackson and others.
□R&B
The full name of R&B is Rhythm & Blues, which is generally translated as "Rhythm & Blues" or "Rhythm & Blues". In a broad sense, R&B can be regarded as "black pop music". It originated from black blues music and is the basis of today's western pop and rock music. Billboard magazine once defined R&B as all black music except Jazz and Blues. It is listed as R&B, which shows how broad the scope of R&B is. Hip Hop and Rap, which have become very popular in the black music circle in recent years, both originate from R&B and retain many R&B elements.
