Rock And Roll Counterculture

1. What was it about the "counterculture" of Rock 'n' Roll that drove both parents and media commentators such as Jeff Greenfield to claim that "Rock 'n' Roll was vile, elemental, savage, and dripping with sex"? In the era of which Rock 'n' Roll began to develop was a time where tradition were very important, meaning when something new tried to change those traditions it scared many people. A large majority that was affected by Rock 'n' Roll were teenagers and the music influenced many of their views on different topics; such as hairstyles, clothing, drugs, and sex. Therefore, Jeff Greenfield and parents were afraid that the new generation of children would become accustom to the views of Rock 'n' Roll, leading to the change of traditions.
