Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Everybody's talking about the new sound, funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.

That was Billy Joel, and today we're talking about musical genres, the history of rock

and roll, and it's many, many, many permutations into various genres in modern music.

Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I am your host, Cathergantz's Apologist, Trent Horn.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, we talk apologetics and theology, but on Friday, we talk about

whatever I want to talk about.

Today, I want to talk about a webpage that I found that was really interesting that has cataloged

all of the different genres that have branched off from rock and roll music, as well as

its precursors.

It's a really cool webpage, it's called 100 years of rock in less than a minute.

And what makes it really interactive is that it shows a chart showing all of these different

genres, how they lead up to rock and roll in the 50s and 60s, and then the genres that

play out from that.

But you can click on every genre, and you hear a little musical sample of the genre,

and it has an arrow showing what it came from, and the genres that came from it to show

the evolution of music.

And that is just a really cool thing to see human creativity, how we build off of the accomplishments

and work of others, tweak it and modify it at our own cultural elements to present that

really sort of unique sound.

And rock and roll has an interesting element to it when it comes to the history of music.
