Music Genres

My music magazine will be based on Alternative Rock music. Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the mainstream in the 1960s. Rock music progressed from the 1940s when it drew on folk music, jazz, country music and the blues. Rock music is popular in todays modern culture which is the reason I have chose to base my magazine on Rock music.
