El rock es un género musical que tuvo sus orígenes en los Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XX y que posteriormente se extendió por todo el mundo durante las décadas siguientes. El rock es una fusión de varios géneros musicales, incluyendo el blues, el country y el folk, entre otros.
El sonido del rock se caracteriza por el uso de guitarras eléctricas, batería y bajo, aunque también se incorporan otros instrumentos como teclados y sintetizadores. Las letras de las canciones suelen abordar temas diversos como el amor, la política, la sociedad, la rebeldía y la juventud.
A lo largo de los años, el rock ha evolucionado en una amplia variedad de subgéneros, como el rock and roll, el rock progresivo, el punk, el heavy metal, el grunge, el indie rock y muchos otros. Algunas de las bandas más influyentes en la historia del rock incluyen a The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Nirvana y Radiohead, entre otras.
