Why do some people believe that rock ‘n roll is from hell? Some would say that during the time period when rock ‘n roll first came out it was so ground breaking and different that people did not know how to react. “When rock came onto the music scene it shocked the senses of music listeners everywhere.” Rock ‘n roll music was a completely different turn from music at the time, “the ‘live fast die hard’ mentality of a rocker was baffling to the public and they didn’t understand it.” So thus since rock was viewed as the cause of this rise in an ok mind set for drugs and sex, people labeled it as satanic music. This however only increased the marketability of rock ‘n roll to the rebellious youth. Jennifer declared that “when I was young rock ‘n roll wasn’t allowed in the house, so naturally I loved it!” The youth were the main following of rock on its up rise, but even though it was frowned upon by the older more mature citizens it did not stop the enormous amount of sales that rock did and still continues to bring in. “Owning a Kiss album then was like having a car now, without one it was hard to be cool.” So overall was it the shock that it had to the music scene that made people jump the gun on rock? Or was a true honest belief that people thought it was form hell?
Going by this it seems that it is just a case of being something new and foreign thus the adults don't know how to react and the rebellious teens love it.
