Its been just the same as any other genre... It reached a normal amount of people, helped people through times.. I dont think its influenced society really.. Ha what an incredibly pointless post, sorry, I thought I had something interesting to say..

Obviously not..

i really don't know what to say to that question but that it just depenRAB on each person on what they think someone might think that rock has had an effect on society and some people might just not really think about it i just like to listen to the music because i can reflect on it on the things that i go through thats why i got into rock i can just be free with my emotions i hope this makes sense but its the best i can do

There`s always a scapegoat , before rap & rock music it was film , before film it was books ect ect ect.

Never religion strangley enough , which has probably killed more than all of the things a few thousand times over.

I think that music has had a large impact on society because now u see people walking around with different styles of clothing...these clothes have been influenced by their style of music they prefer. I myself do not dress in a particular style although many would say im punk, i dont believe in this "labelling" scheme

Rock music has had a massive effect on society. Just look at the 60-70's to confirm this. Styles of clothing, Beliefs, cliques, etc. have been formed from rock influence. Rock has had a tremendous effect on the "counter culture". It's been used politically, religiously and emotionally to convey one's beliefs, which others relate to.
Just pick an era and look at the trenRAB which were active in said era. Do you think goth's (example) would really have such similiar principles, dress, and way of life without music? They form their "style" around the goth look. Which is influenced by gothic type banRAB and lyrics.
Pick a trend, and most can easily be linked to a genre of music.
My thoughts only.
