The original term for rock. You know, that really famous genre of music that incorporates electric guitars and percussion? Yeah.
Rock 'n' roll started in [[The Fifties]] in the US, and was created by black musicians. Rock is a fusion of...well, considering the [[Alternative Rock|millions]] [[Heavy Metal|of]] [[Progressive Rock|different]] [[Hard Rock|subgenres]] [[Punk Rock|it]] [[Grunge|has]], it's a fusion of whatever you want and whatever else you want. There's no concrete definition of the genre, aside from the inclusion of electric guitar and percussion [[Folk Rock|(and even ''that'' is debatable)]].
[[Elvis Presley]] brought rock 'n' roll into the mainstream. Then, towards the end of [[The Fifties]], rock 'n' roll [[Deader Than Disco|died]], Elvis got reduced to starring in some really bad movies, and it took the Brits, previously alien towards rock, to [[The British Invasion|revive it and totally change its form]]. One of these bands, rather obviously, was/were [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]].
