Line 7:
After the original wave fell out of favor, the format was later adopted by punk rock and grunge bands in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, finding the stripped-down ensemble to fit perfectly with their [[Three Chords and The Truth|stripped down approach to music.]] Several notable punk bands from this time still exist today. The [[Rock Trio]] also continued to remain popular in progressive rock, though prog as a whole was in a down period at this time. Today, the [[Rock Trio]] continues to be used in all varieties, as well as in bands that [[Three Plus Two|use it as their core while adding supporting instruments and a dedicated vocalist.]]
 
It should be noted that a [[Rock Trio]] is more commonly referred to in the music industry as a '''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_trio:Power trio|power trio]]''' but that name's [[Power Trio|already taken]]. Not coincidentally, the [[Rock Trio]] is itself a subtrope of our [[Power Trio]]. Musically, it could be compared to a [[Freudian Trio]] in that the drums focus on the beat (Superego), the guitar focuses on the melody (Id) and the bass reconciles the two (Ego), though this says nothing about the personalities of the musicians themselves. Despite the name, the [[Rock Trio]] is not strictly limited to rock bands: several pop and metal bands have taken the general idea of the format and made it work.
