Rock

During the 1950s, rock and roll, a more loud and exciting music, began emerging with songs about teenage love and youthful rebellion. Chuck Berry invented rock music in 1955. Times had changed though and kids listened to Rhythm & Blues instead and musicians would play R&B music to go with country music. Then rock and roll became an overnight success due to a little shop for black music that the music industry soon knew of and then understood that social prejudice and racial barriers were useless against the forces of capitalism and promoted rock music idols like Elvis Presley.
