research on various genres: rock

Rock music first became popular in the 50's when Elvis Presley first came about however he originally copied his style and moves from blues and country music which was predominantly black music genre, and Elvis's provocative move caused and outrage among parents and the media an was seen as satanist. however since the 70's there has been many different types of rock sub-genres such as britpop which was predominant in the 90's and rock-metal, electro-rock and many more.
the main instruments used are usually guitar, drums bass guitar and some time a keyboard or synth which can distinguish different bands from each other for example depeche mode which contrasts with nirvana which is my example.




as you can see in the video,it is very peculiar and the psychedelic colours reminds me of the footage you would see in a movie when the director wants to show a drug addict who is high and hallucinating .
the close-up of the lead singers [Kurt Cobain] eyes show how he is serious about his music as he is portraying a crazy person as his eyes make him look quite insane.
The video also includes quite taboo subjects such as the child dresses up as a member of the racist Klan the klu klutz Klan which is a very much unspoken subject and the scene of Jesus on a cross with a Santa Claus hat on which is quite peculiar,
however i think that this video live upto the stereotypes of rock music being seen as an outcasts music as this is not your run of the mill video!
