| | Positioned between Alternative and Classic Rock is “Active Rock” and Pollack comments that it’s seen the benefits and failures of both of its bordering formats. | | | “While it's still the biggest musical genre, Rock is the most fragmented radio format group of all,” he states. | | | Included as potential secondary terrestrial audio channels are such offerings as “Chick Rock,” “Classic Alternative,” “Deep Cuts Classic Rock,” “Fusion Hispanic-Anglo Rock,” “Indie and New Rock,” “Live Rock” and “New Alternative.” |

| | Rock - Introduction - Randy's Rodeo |
| | Eventually, "rock" spawned a full house of ornery offspring - blues rock, country rock, southern rock, folk rock, progressive rock, art rock, soft rock, and heavy metal - before disco and punk spurred a reactionary transmogrification of the whole unwieldy genre into, at last, classic rock. | | | Sometime in the 60's, rock 'n' roll became, simply, "rock." As in "rock band," "rock musician," or "rock opera." It got serious, or, at least, big. | | | The prancing fools, half-crazed perverts, and oily teen idols that made early rock so much fun gave way to strutting, swaggering, chest-thumping satyrs demanding we pay rapt attention to their every tortured syllable and earsplitting reverie. |

| | Articles - Surf music |
| | In the 1960s when surf music was developing as a genre, surf culture and rock and roll culture were competing youth cultures, similarly to mod culture and rocker culture in the United Kingdom in the same period. | | | In that surf rock simply means surf music played by rock bands, with the ever broadening scope of the term rock music since the 1960s, in a sense surf music has become a subgenre of rock music. | | | This is seen for example in the induction of classic surf band The Beach Boys into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. |

| | Blues-rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While rock and blues have historically always been closely linked, blues-rock as a distinct genre did not arise until the late 1960s. | | | Blues-rock, is a hybrid musical genre combining elements of the blues with rock and roll. | | | A classic example of blues-rock is Cream's "Crossroads", adapted from Robert Johnson's "Cross Road Blues" and "Traveling Riverside Blues"; it fuses some of the lyrical and musical styles of blues with rock-styled tempo and guitar solos. |

| | The genre of garage rock has been in near-constant state of revival and reinvention almost since it began; the style was codified in the 1972 compilation album "Nuggets," and throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's various rock movements from punk to new wave to riot grrrl have updated and toyed with the form. | | | In the past few years a wave of new bands has come along with obvious ties to classic garage rock: the Strokes, the Hives, the White Stripes, the Mooney Suzuki, the Raveonettes, the Datsuns and others play stripped-down rock 'n' roll with a passion that has attracted huge audiences. | | | Van Zandt's radio show is heard Sunday nights at 10 on the classic rock station WAXQ (104.3 FM), which was one of the first stations to run it. |

Manson sounds as though she gets sadistic pleasure as she plays with the listener, telling her audience to "bow down to me." The off-beat "Queer" is equally seductive, and quite mesmerizing, leaving a lasting impression. |

| | Alt Rock? What's That? |
| | I define it as American rock music from the early 80s or later that's guitar based; eschews hard rock, grunge, classic rock, or pure punk conventions; and is (or was) popular on college campuses and supported by independent record labels. | | | So, "loud early 90s American rock band" does not equal "alt." These bands are clearly a well-defined genre. | | | We also got into a nasty internecine war over the term "indie rock." I think it means 90s rock that probably would have been called alt ten years earlier, but is also set apart by a certain absurdist attitude and strong influences like Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground. |
