In conclusion, the study of the evolution of rock and roll will impact me in the future through gaining more knowledge on how rock as we know it now has changed and continues to grow into new sub genres. I understand how important the electric guitar had been in the creation of many rock songs with many new experimentation's on different sounds and tones it can create. I can further my education of the electric guitar and experiment with the different sub genre styles which was impacted by it. This broadened my view of the growth of music and technology as time progressed. The significance of the study was how the worldwide popularity of rock music had became a major influence on culture, fashion and social attitudes which has become a big part of life in our time.

The 1980's punk rock had become faster and more aggressive such as hardcore and Oi! which became the predominant mode of punk rock. Since punk rocks initial popularity in the 1970's it continues to have a strong underground following. This has resulted in several evolved strains of hardcore punk such as D-beat, anarcho-punk (such as Crass), grindcore (such as Napalm Death), and crust punk. Musicians inspired by punk rock also pursued a broad range of other variations, giving rise to New Wave, post-punk and the alternative rock movement.
In the 1980's metal had fragmented into different sub genres including thrash metal which developed in the US from the style known as speed metal, under the influence of hardcore punk, with low-register guitar riffs typically overlaid by shredding leads. Lyrics often expressed social issues using gory language. It was popularized by "Big Four of Thrash" who were Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeath, and Slayer. Death metal developed out of thrash, particularly influenced by the bands Venom and Slayer. Florida's Death and the Bay Area's Possessed emphasized lyrical elements of blasphemy, diabolism (satanism) and millenarianism, with vocals usually pertaining to "death growls", high-pitched screaming, complemented by downtuned, highly distorted guitars and extremely fast double bass percussion.
During the early 1980's Alternative rock was named for bands who did not fit in with the mainstream genres at the time. Bands stated that "alternative" had no unified style but were all distinct from mainstream music. Alternative bands were linked by their collective debt to punk rock, through hardcore, New Wave or the post-punk movements. Important alternative rock bands of the 1980s in the US included R.E.M. , Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, and the Pixies, and in the UK The Cure, New Order, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Smiths. Artists were largely confined to independent record labels, building an extensive underground music scene based on college radio and touring. They rejected the dominant synthpop of the early 1980s, marking a return to group-based guitar rock. Few of these early bands, with the exceptions of R.E.M. and The Smiths, achieved mainstream success, but despite a lack of spectacular album sales, they exerted a considerable influence on the generation of musicians who came of age in the 1980s and ended up breaking through to mainstream success in the 1990s.
Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000's with the platinum- selling success of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American (2001) and Dashboard Confessional's The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (2003). The new emo had a much more mainstream sound than in the 90s and a far greater appeal amongst adolescents than earlier in the 90's. At the same time, use of the term emo expanded beyond the musical genre, becoming associated with fashion, a hairstyle and any music that expressed emotion. The term emo has been used by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multi-platinum bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, and Panic at the Disco even when they protest the label. By 2003 post-hardcore bands had also caught the attention of major labels and began to enjoy mainstream success in the album charts. A number of these bands were seen as a more aggressive offshoot of emo and given the often vague label of screamo. Around this time, a new wave of post-hardcore bands began to emerge onto the scene that incorporated more pop punk and alternative rock styles into their music, including The Used, Hawthorne Heights, Senses Fail, From First to Last and Emery and Canadian bands Silverstein and Alexisonfire
Rock music was centered around the electric guitar usually as part of a rock group with bass guitar and drums. It is usually performed in 4/4 timing with a verse chorus form.
I selected the topic of the Evolution of Rock and Roll because the electric guitar was a big part of rock and roll with many great solo's being created. Learning about the evolution of it all can help me understand more about how the electric guitar became to be a big part of rock and roll and about the artists which popularized it. I think learning about it will further my education of an understanding of the electric guitar which I strive to get better at playing. Rock and Roll is a popular style of music which I am surrounded by everyday so I thought it would be appropriate to learn and appreciate more about it.
During the 2000's, as computer technology started to grow and musical software became more accessible, it became possible to create high quality music using little more than a single laptop computer. This resulted in a massive increase in the amount of home produced electronic music available to the general public via the internet. These techniques also began to be used by existing bands, as with industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails' album Year Zero (2007) and by developing genres that mixed rock with digital techniques and sounds, including indie electronic, electroclash, dance-punk and new rave. Indie electronic, which had begun in the early 1990s with bands like Stereolab and Disco Inferno, took off in the new millennium as the new digital technology developed. The electroclash sub-genre began in New York at the end of the 1990s, combining synth pop, techno, punk and performance art. It gained international attention at the beginning of the new millennium and spread to London and Berlin, but rapidly faded as a recognizable genre. Renewed interest in electronic music and nostalgia for the 1980's led to the beginnings of a synch pop revival. In 2003- 2004 it began to move into the mainstream with Ladytron, the Postal Service, Cut Copy, the Bravery and, with most commercial success, The Killers all producing records that incorporated vintage synthesizer sounds and styles which contrasted with the dominant sounds of post-grunge. The style was picked up by a large number of performers, particularly female solo artists, leading the British and other media to proclaim a new era of the female electropop star. Artists included British acts Little Boots, La Roux and Ladyhawke. Male acts that emerged in the same period included Calvin Harris, Frankmusik, Hurts, Kaskade, LMFAO, and Owl City, whose single "Fireflies" (2009) reached the top of the Billboard chart.
