Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that began as "rock and roll" in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s. After the mid-1960s, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, rock music changed into many different styles. It comes from the rock and roll of the 1940s and 1950s, which was directly influenced by the blues, rhythm and blues, and country music of African-Americans. Rock also took a lot from other types of music, like electric blues and folk, and it had hints of jazz, classical, and other types of music. Rock has always been about the electric guitar, which is usually played with an electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers as part of a rock band.

That said, rock music now has a new home in Dublin, and it's called the THE ROCK.
