Rock is a popular form of music that has evolved over the last two decades starting from the 1950s to the present day. Rock music has been used as a form of expression over the years. Despite its sometimes negative and provocative lyrics, rock is an art form that allows you to release your feelings by singing in an expressive tone. Personally I don't see a problem with people expressing their emotions and this is partly why I disagree with Richard Brookhiser that "rock is a popular culture that points downwards in terms of class and age instead of pointing upwards." . Rather than aspire, desire. “I feel like everyone should have a way to express themselves in whatever way or art form they feel is necessary. Rock music is just a way for people to vent their anger and aggression without keeping it inside. I would rather see our society express our problems in a musical form rather than a violent one. There are a lot more things to worry about than stressing out about culture-destroying rock music. Nowadays I firmly believe that rock music helps more than it harms those who listen to it. Unlike Brookhiser's view, I see rock as an outlet rather than a downfall. Rock music should be considered nothing more than a simple form of music. Whether it's R&B, rap, jazz or rock music, it's just music and shouldn't be held responsible for people's wrong actions. Rock, just like other types of music, should have the same freedoms and rights to be played and listened to by those who make it. they want to listen. People who hold the same opinions as Mr. Brookhiser would be better off not listening to rock music at all and not commenting on it. To say that rock is responsible for pointing downwards in terms of class and age is to place too much responsibility on the music rather than on the people. We all have a brain and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. I understand that some of the lyrics spoken in rock music can be offensive, but that shouldn't cause it to be blamed for destroying society. If you want to sit down and discuss what is destroying society, issues like drugs and single parenting families would be more relevant.
