Though most histories of rock and roll music try to connect the music to ANY and ALL other types of earlier music, what became popularized as rock ‘n’ roll began–as so many other contributions to societal upheaval did–in America after World War II (1945).

Rock (as it was often called) was the beneficiary–as so many other contributions to societal upheaval have been–of a MASSIVE campaign to promote and popularize the music–especially among the youth.
One feature of rock music has always been the hard, steady beats laid down by the drum and bass.
One feature of DANCING to rock music has been its”let-yourself-go” ethos. (This is so much so in modern electronic rock that one genre is called “trance.”)
And one feature of the music itself was the constant theme of rebellion which helped sell the music to a youth looking to make its mark apart from their parents and mentors.
IN FACT, rebellion was so entwined with rock music, it often helped DEFINE what that music meant.
REBELLION was often used to help describe the music itself.
”Rock and roll is the music of America, of youth, of rebellion, and of the common spirit that ties all that together.”
—Tom Larson
“Good fashion for me is like rock ‘n’ roll – there’s always a little rebellion in it.”
—Ann Demeulemeester
“Rock n’ roll is about attitude and rebellion. It’s supposed to be fun and spontaneous.”
—Slash
WHY was rock music so heavily promoted during the years after WWII?
And why–75+ years later–does it continue to be promoted hourly, day-after-day?
After all, almost 90 percent of all air time in radio is dedicated to the continual playing of music of some sort–much of it still rock n roll (and its derivatives).
Perhaps because the end times are a time of rebellion.
Those who dwell upon the earth will follow after the dragon (Satan) in the world’s biggest rebellion: a rebellion against God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

This rebellion was called the “falling away” in the King James Version of the Bible. The word translated as “falling away” was from the Greek, APOTHASIA. If one is looking on the Internet for information about apostasia, one will be informed that the word means “forsake,” “falling away” or “defection.” BUT, if one has access to older books (which are not so easily changed at the touch of a button), one will find that apostasia had MOSTLY the meaning of “rebellion,” “revolt” or some other form of violent upheaval against the authorities.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”
–2THESSALONIANS 2:3
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
–Psalm 2:1-3
The end times–particularly the last days–are a time of rebellion.
Apparently those times need a soundtrack to energize the people.
And what better soundtrack for a time of rebellion than rock ‘n’ roll, a music identified from its beginning with rebellion?
DOES the reader ever think about how rock ‘n’ roll and rebellion are such a sweet couple?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
