How has music since the 1950's rock and roll shaped how we are as a society today?

soo, how did the beginning of rock n roll in the 1950's and music until now affect how we are as a society and our morals. i am doing a paper on this for history and i just needed some ideas:)


thanks!|||Playboy magazine and Rock and Roll music first came about in the 1950’s. This started the change of sexual attitudes, as rock symbolized freedom and rebellion, and playboys “ideals” included high living and wild parties. Many of the older generations saw this as “the work of the devil”, but the teenagers loved it. Movies, music, magazines, and clothes—all reflected teenage interests and concerns that were exceptionally different from those of their parents. Teens were eager consumers; with the average estimated weekly income of $10.55. Just prior to the start of World War II that was the average weekly income for an entire family. With more money came a certain degree of independence—less parental support was needed for socializing and purchasing.





This continues to grow in society today, as teenagers have more and more money and are rebelling against their parents.|||It left the Eternal Mark of creativity in music considering music has been around for thousands of years.
