Features: What is rock? How was rock born? What is its developmental history? Who are the representative figures and genres of rock? What are their characteristics? How did rock influence the destinies of giants like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jim Morrison, and Bob Dylan? What is the essence of rock? Is rock merely an accidental entry into the historical scene? Is rock just a fashion phenomenon? Or is it just a phenomenon of "angry youth"? Is rock a product of commercial society, or a barometer of international politics? Is there a close connection between rock and international affairs or wars, leading to the question of whether rock is a war-like and war-conditional thing? From the perspective of rock itself, is rock merely a modern noise for self-liberation, self-expression, and self-obsession? What is the difference between conventional rock and art rock? In the context of postmodernism, what is the relationship between rock and postmodernism and the postmodern movement? Fundamentally, is rock self-entertaining or critical? Is it youthful and hormonal or passionate and fiery? This book provides you with a panoramic view of rock that you want to know and unexpected, with detailed historical records, classic images, personalized design, and a fresh perspective.
