This book explores the relationships between rock and roll, social
protest, and authenticity to consider how rock and roll could
function as social protest music. The author begins by discussing
the nature and origins of rock and roll and the nature of social
protest and social protest music within the wider context of the
evolution of the commercial music industry and the social and
technological infrastructure developed for the mass dissemination
of popular music. This discussion is followed by an examination of
the causes of the public disapproval originally expressed toward
rock and roll, and how they illuminate its social protest and
subversive quality. By further investigating the nature of
authenticity and its relationship to social protest and to
commercialization, the author considers how social protest and
commercialization are antithetical. This conclusion, if correct,
has broad implications for human culture in advanced industrial
society.
