The term “rock and roll” was originally used as a euphemism for sex in blues songs before evolving into a genre name.
The birthplace of rock is often attributed to the United States, with artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley playing pivotal roles in its early development.
Rock music has evolved into various sub-genres, including classic rock, hard rock, punk rock, progressive rock, and alternative rock, each with its own unique characteristics and fan bases.
