Description
Hard rock is a genre of rock music characterized by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, electric guitars, bass guitar, and drums, often accompanied by keyboards. It originated in the mid-1960s with the garage, psychedelic, and blues rock movements. Hard rock is known for its thick, massive sound, with highly amplified distortion and extended guitar solos. It typically emphasizes a strong rhythm section, loudness, and energy. The genre has its roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock and is often associated with a rebellious or macho ethos. Over time, hard rock has evolved and influenced various other music genres, including heavy metal.
