Hard Rock

Matt is sad becos he leave ;(

Summary on Hard Rock

It began in the 1960s and started off with garage rock and then influenced by blues rock. Led Zeppelin, Who and Deep Purple are the ones who supposedly started Hard Rock in their music, making it popular in the 1970s. Aggressive Vocals are used with loud instruments, normally electric guitars. Hard Rock has encouraged the joy in young youths and inspire them to, some, change the way they see things. Hard Rock is one of the many genres to have political lyrics and have a loud voice to apparently have an opinion. Sadly, during its time, it started losing popularity as genre's such as reggae, hip hop, and urban rock took over. Some bands managed to stay high as their successful recording career continued. Sometimes in music, the electric guitar is distorted leading to the introduction of the synthesizer, influencing a lot of genres. So overall, Hard Rock is still big today and the world wouldn't be the same without it.
