Rock Music
I've chosen to base my music magazine around rock music but the sub genres which include: alternative rock, indie rock and folk rock. This is because so far these sub genres of rock music are my favourite therefore I wanted to design a music magazine which I like. As I already listen to this genre, I know bands and artists which includes bands like: Mumford and Sons, Coldplay, The Lumineers and The Vaccines and artists such as Adam Levine and Hayley Williams. There are also other rock genres, including heavy rock, hard rock, electronic rock, blue rock and many more. The most common rock sub-genre during 21th century has become alternative rock, this is because bands/artists have hybrid genres together to create a funner and smoother rock music. The rock genre it self started off as popular music which originated and classified as "rock and roll" during the 50s in America. Yet, it wasn't until the 60s that rock music become popular in the UK. During that time Rock music was referred to "golden age" and/or "classic rock", including famous bands such as: The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Rock music was heavily influenced by rhythm and blues but also country music. It includes instruments such as electric guitar, bass guitar and drums which is commonly used now days.
