Стиль жизни 
Рок-музыка – это музыка, в которой преобладает вокальная мелодия, дополненная звуками электро-гитары, бас-гитары и ударных. Кроме того, в этом жанре музыки могут использоваться и другие инструменты: клавишные, саксофон, гармоника, скрипка, флейта, горн, банджо и так далее. В рок-музыке гитарный звук – центральный, а сильный бэк-ритм вращается вокруг него. Можно проследить корни рок-музыки, обратившись к рок-н-роллу и рокабилли 1940-х-1950-х годов.
