1. Rock and roll has been expressed differently across cultures because each culture has different costumes, beliefs, and styles of artistic elements, such as music. This caused multiple types of rock and roll to form. These types of rock and roll include blues rock, punk/funk rock, hard rock, glam rock, rockabilly, and southern rock. The difference between these types of rock and roll is because of the movements that are happening at that time period.
2. Rock and roll is currently impacting societal issues because most rock and roll songs are about issues or problems in the world. Bands and famous singers of the rock and roll genre often encourage their fans and other people to react to an issue, thus impacting the problem or causing change. This can have an impact on the world because, if the band is popular enough, many people will be moved to react to an issue based on the band’s music or on what the band members say during interviews.

A great example of how rock and roll had an impact on a societal issue is segregation and racial issues. It can be easily be argued that rock and roll brought people of every race together. Rock and roll was and is a genre that had and has an equal mixture of Caucasian and African American singers. Fans of rock and roll were also of different races and this caused a significant dent in segregation and racial inequality. Rock and roll also forced record labels to sign African American artists, thus creating an equal platform for artists of both Caucasian and African American race. Rock and roll also allowed artists to explore different styles of music that were originally categorized by a certain race. For example Elvis Presley, also known as the King of Rock, broke barriers by exploring styles of music that were originally thought to be African American
