Rock And Roll Culture

When mentioned about the rock and roll, many people are biased. It seems that the rock and roll is associated with drugs, chaos, and many negative and undesirable things. In fact, this view is one-sided. Rock and roll is a positive and healthy music type with strong idealistic and humanistic feelings. Individual negative performance in rock and roll cannot represent the overall healthy and vibrant rock and roll group. Rock and roll has been introduced into China since the 1980s. In the past 30 years, it has experienced a process of budding, prosperity, explosion and silence. In the process, Chinese rock music draws advantages from western rock music and combines traditional Chinese music elements. Rock music is actively integrated into the
