Rock music has evolved, shifted and changed in many different ways between the 60’s and today, though one constant is the same it brought a voice to those who needed to be seen. In the 60’s the rock scene was over taken by greats like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Beach Boys and the Doors. The 70’s was a time of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Queen, The Who, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, KISS, Sex Pistols, Journey and many more. From these two decades, so many greats and the makers of rock music, but how does the time of the greats in rock in roll differ from today?
One major difference between modern rock and classic rock is the content in which the songs are about. Much of modern rock is angry, hateful, talking about killing, mutating enemies, an example of this type of music would be Avenged Sevenfold. Many of A7X ‘s songs are about going to hell for being evil, or killing your girlfriend and having “relations” with her dead body, resulting in her coming back from the dead and killing the man. This is just one clear example of the sick and twisted side of many modern rock artists, though not all are like this. Much of classic rock songs were about love, the war, or parting. In the 60’s and 70’s not much of the music was about hate, unless it was the hate for being at war and away from the one they loved. This is one, very clear difference between modern and classic.
Another difference between Modern Rock and Classic Rock is the style of the music itself. Much of classic rock was played and written to be smoother going and also made so people could dance to it. And dancing was not “grinding” against your partner, jumping up and down or running into each other like much of modern day dancing is. Classic rock focused much more on the guitar, not only in the main song with excellent rifts, chord changes and other guitar talents but also mind-blowing solos that cannot be repeated; though many people try. This differs from modern rock because majority of bands now focus on the drums more than guitar, though the guitar is still a vital piece of the band and can still be clear with rifts, chord changes and occasional and small solos. Now the drums get the more intense parts of the songs and many bands give their drummers the chance to have intense solos that can go on for several minutes. Another difference in the modern rock from classic is vocals, instead of singing many artists now scream, shout and their voice are more commonly rough than smooth. Rock has changed from being smooth going and being able to dance to it, to an intense experience perfect for fist pumping, mosh pitting and crowd surfing.
A constant in rock since the beginning is that the music they sing and create is relevant to the era the songs or bands are in. In the 60’s much of the music was about love, as well as the Vietnam war. In the 70’s it was about drugs, partying, and once again love. Looking into modern rock much is about our current war, or is relevant to obsessions in creatures such as vampires, zombies and death. A constant theme for rock music since the 70’s is of course partying, drinking and drugs as in the 70’s is when it all really began and has exploded in the recent years. However, not all rock artists are encouraging getting high, getting babes and getting drunk, in every era of rock music there is someone who is willing to tell the real problems of doing drugs such as death, addiction , loss of self, family or friends.
Another similarity in Rock music is that it tends to speak to the younger generation of that era more than the older. Looking back to the beginning of rock we can see how younger people began to obsess over artists such as Elvis Presley and The Beatles, while the older generation was appalled and tried to stop the younger generation from listening to what many at that time called “The devil’s music”. In today’s rock music you can see the same pattern repeating itself. Much more of the younger generation; meaning teenagers and young adults, “flock” towards rock music while many of the older generation stay far away from it. Going to any rock concert you can see much of the audience is made up of people ranging roughly from the ages of 14 to 25 years old. The older generation tend to think of today’s rock as “noise” and “nonsense” and hate when the members of the younger generation turn the volume on their stereos as high as it can go and “rock out” to the music. Yet, if you ask much of the “older generation” especially those who were the “younger generation” in the 70’s and 80’s they can tell of when their parents told them to either turn down or turn off their stereos calling their music just noise or nonsense. Rock music and the clash of the younger generation and the older can be one of the biggest oxymoron because best chance is majority of the older generation were once in the younger generation’s shoes.
