Why wasn't rock and roll responsible for dismantling America's traditional customs in the 1950s and 1960s?

There's no way you can blame rock and roll entirely for the change in America's culture during this time period. American teens were given more freedom from a greater access to automobiles. Television became popular in this time period. What other factors contributed to America's culture change?|||The SIXTIES were an exciting, revolutionary, turbulent time of great social and technological change: assassination, unforgettable fashion, new musical styles, Camelot, civil rights, gay and women's liberation, a controversial and divisive war in Vietnam, the first manned landing on the moon, peace marches, World's Fairs, flower power, great TV and film and sexual freedom.





Television was a big factor, particularly advertising and experimenting with drugs were others.
