ideology in Rock

Rock

 

 

Most people assume rock as a dark and rebellious genre of music, and they'd be right to do so. but the majority of rock and heavier music is purely for the music, people don't listen to bands for what they look like, they listen to the music. But recently rock band have had to change their image, because nowadays it is what they look like too, which is a shame because they spend more time on an image than their music. Rock is considered dark and grungy, every now and then a new band comes along and steals the limelight for a brief minute and they have a perfect balance of swagger, style and good music. a band like Royal Blood, new to 2014. Enough swagger in interviews and style to catch an eye, and great dynamic music, also they bring something new being a two piece rock band.

if you talking a long time back into the rock bands it wasn't necessarily about style but just image and what image the produced for the listeners and also the music was good, so bands such as Metallica and Black Sabbath. although style does play a part I think you can tell the type of music they make by just hearing a band name or looking at what they're wearing or how they say things, you can almost decipher what music genre they make.

the music magazines covering the rock genre are often dark colours and have text that is often distorted.
