distorted guitars

Rock music is a specific type of pop music

one makes you rock. the other makes you pop.

There must be a hundred records with voice-overs asking, "What is rock?" The answer is always some greeting card bullshit about "life, love, happiness...." … Rock is not universal. Rock is hyper-specific … The contexts from which the Rock'n Roll sound emerged are forgotten: sexual and gender crises, transgender sex work, black market hormones, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness, racism, HIV, ACT-UP, Tompkins Square Park, police brutality, queer-bashing, underpayment, unemployment and censorship—all at 120 beats per minute.

A rock song is more spontaneous whereas a pop song has been manipulated to death.
