Rock N' Roll emerged in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, blending elements of blues, country, jazz, and gospel. With artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley, it quickly became a defining sound of the mid-20th century.
The genre evolved through the decades—shaped by the British Invasion, psychedelic experimentation in the '60s, punk and metal movements in the '70s and '80s, and grunge in the '90s. Rock N' Roll has left a lasting legacy on global culture and continues to inspire new generations.
