Music Rock

Rock music also became part of cultural and social movements, giving rise to new concepts such as rockers and mods in the UK, and hippies which originated in San Francisco in the US in the 1960s. Similarly, in the 1970s, punk culture gave rise to concepts such as goth and emo. Inheriting the protest from folk music, rock also quickly became associated with political issues, especially those related to changing social attitudes about race, gender, and drug use, and was often seen as a youthful protest against consumerism and indulgence.
