dominated by vocals, guitar, drums, and bass. many also with the addition of instruments
such as keyboad, piano or synthesizer. Rock music usually has a strong beat and is dominated
by guitar, both electric and acoustic.
The foundations of rock music are rock and roll and rockabilly in the 50s. in the late 60s there
was a lot of mixing of other music genres with rock music. Folk music mixed into Folk Rock,
blues music mixed into Blues Rock and jazz into Jazz-Fussion Rock. And in the 70s rock
developed into several subgenres such as soft rock, hard rock, heavy metal and punk. In the
era of the 80s developed again some subgenre such as glam metal, synth rock, trash metal,
hardcore punk, alternative rock. In the 90s the new subgenre was grunge style rock, britpop,

Here are some great streams in rock music:
Hard Rock

influence of the blues music. Hard rock dominated by many electric guitars, bass guitars and
drums. The role of guitarist is usually divided into two, namely lead guitar and rythm guitar,
guitar leads will display the guitar solo on some parts of the song while the role of rhythm
guitar more as a complement of lead guitar. Some of the leading hard rock bands such as
Aerosmith, Guns N 'Roses, Van Halen and Kiss.

Heavy Metal
Actually hard rock and heavy metal is not much different in terms of music so many crossers
border between the two, heavy metal music just faster in the music. This music was
spearheaded by led zeppelin, deep purple and black sabbath. successors such as Judas Priest,
Iron maiden, metallica, megadeth, Slayer, etc. The main theme of heavy metal lyrics is about
sex, violence, fantasy and mysticism.

Punk rock
This flow is more on the youth's rebellion against establishment. punk rock is more of an
ideology than a musical ability, as if we are listening to his songs of highly pungent sex
pistols and without harmonization even in his live performances are often replaced behind the
basalt because the original player is usually a heavy drummer and already very
inconsequential when acting on stage. Pioneers of this music is Ramones, Sex Pistols, and
The Clash successor a lot in the 2000s like green day but less wild.

different from heavy metal just that there is a difference in the lyrics are more likely to

2.3 all humans are musical
In the history of music civilization has never been there who can interpret the music clearly
just from words alone. Music will only be understood when we enter the world of music
itself. Some are dissolving in the song only. Some are trying to learn through concepts and
musical instruments only. There are also experienced both, while enjoying also make it a
learning process.
We always associate music with musicians and connoisseurs. Actually the meaning of the
word musician has become a misperception. In the present era many individuals who declare
themselves a musician just because they have a band, tau many songs, proud to imitate the
band dambaannya, and some even assume if you want to have a musical soul should be a
course and music school. Is the action right? Is it just to have a band as a musician? Does
getting to know a lot of songs and knowing all types of music can guarantee someone's
music?
The musical soul does not really have to be searched because all individuals are given the gift
of musical potential. Each of us from birth is given the opportunity to speak in a musical.
That is why any baby can be invited to dance, sing and try to follow the rhythm or tap. Let's
think about it, baby is holy.
Musicians are not limited to the rich. No need to drop out of music school. It does not have to
be famous. It does not have to be a legend. Try to close your eyes ... if without having to
silence all creation but there are musical voices, whatever the sound of music, that's the soul
of music. The real musician is the individual who when walking, sleeping, dreaming, bathing,
working, wherever he is, whatever he does is always accompanied by notes.
Every second is a tone although there is no musical instrument to visualize it because every
trace is a tone. Unfortunately, today's nota bene require us to work, earn money,
housekeeping and other life demands make our music soul marginalized. We have indeed
grown up, but sanctity when we babies are still there. It's the same when we all go to bed and
wait for a beautiful dream.

2.4 how can music affect the brain?

All kinds of sounds or when the sounds in a regular sequence that we know with music, will
enter through the ear, then vibrate the eardrum, shake the fluid in the inner ear and vibrate the
haired cells in the Cochlea to the next through the Koklearis nerve to the brain. First, Music
will be received directly by Talamus, a part of the brain that regulates emotions, sensations,
and feelings, without first digested by the brain thinking about good and bad as well as
intelligence. Secondly: through the Hypothalamus affects the basal structure of the
"forebrain" including the limbic system, and third: through the axon neurons diffusely supply
the neocortex. The hypothalamus is an autonomic nerve center that regulates respiratory
function, heart rate, blood pressure, bowel movement, endocrine function, memory, and so
on. An Ira Altschuler researcher says "Once a stimulus reaches the thalamus, it is
automatically the center of the brain has been invaded."
2.5 the negative impact of rock music on the soul
Experts are deeply concerned about the impact of rock song lyrics on children's sexual
development. Dr. L.D. Tashjian, Leader of Psychology Section at Mt. Sinai in Philadelphia,
has investigated the effects of rock music on the youth and he. noted, We found that many
children, aged seven and eight years listening to the lyrics that echo sexual sadism, slavery,
bestiality, and at this vulnerable age, these messages can mislead their sexual orientation
seriously. Children who are younger, younger or likely to be affected are likely to be affected
by a profound and dangerous impact. we take for example:
* Song from Ozzy Osbourne * Mr. Heavy Metal * "Good wine but Whiskey is faster, kill
yourself the only way out".
* Song from David Bowie (Rolling Stone magazine) says Rock will always be a demonic
music.
* Songs from Stairway to Heaven if in reverse play will bring up devil worship poetry.
* Song from Metallica in The Prince chanting the Angel from below, I want to sell my soul.
Satan took my soul.
* In 1992, Red Hot Chilli Peppers at the reception of anugreah MTV Awards said. First of all
we want to thank Satan.
Joe Stuessy, a professor of music theory at the University of Texas. in San Antonio, adds,
"There is an element in music, a pure spirit of pure hatred that is not Nadir in early rock
music". He compared the song "School Days with a sympathetic tone from Chuck Berry
where the singer embraces a teenager and says," I understand your feelings, Dik, "with the
song" School Date "from W.A.S.P group: with a ferocious message saying," Burn! "
The main supporters of rock music with this evil spirit are heavy-metal bands. They started
their work two decades ago in the recording market and now they are mainstream. DeMoss
says, According to our research, approximately 60% of the metal lyrics emphasize words
related to destruction, depression, and moral degradation. "Doctor Soul Robert S. Demski,
chief of staff at Laurel Hospital Ridge San Antonio, adding, "Once something has been
learned at an early age, it may be very difficult to forget it. With repeated exposure to
cynicism, hatred, destruction, especially without a balance between parental love and
counseling, children become insensitive to brutality and moral degradation.
A theme that has gained much attention in contemporary rock music is suicide.
Approximately 600,000 adolescents try to commit suicide each year. According to experts,
most of the 5000 suicide-related adolescents are associated with depression as a negative
impact of rock music and arbitrary drug use, and the lyrics of 'sadistic acts of cruelty, in
addition to suicide itself.
There is, of course, no way of determining whether an act of suicide might occur in any case,
but do not try to say it to parents of a 19-year-old John McCollum. When he committed
suicide, the officer who examined his corpse stated, "A suicide death by shooting, a .22
caliber gun to his own head while listening to the devil's music." John, who previously,
always listened to Ozzy 0sborrne's album for five hours a day, wearing stereo headphones
when he committed suicide. He is listening to messages like "Suicide is the only sat out"
from the album "Suicide -Solution" and the link Can you help say? `Oh, shoot my head, oooh
yeah ... says say to end your life" from album "Paranoid".

2.6 positive effects of rock music on the soul

Music does affect a lot of human life. Being a business commodity, feeling disclosure or just
as a mere entertainment. Including psychological conditions. But what effect can be obtained
if listening to rock music, such as rock or metal?
During this time, many people suspect metal is the music of people frustrated or depressed.
Rock music is also considered to encourage teenagers to always revolt in the parents. Metal
and rock equal drop out and gloomy future. In short, metal does not have a positive impact.
If you agree with the above assumptions, be prepared to be disappointed. A study by Stuart
Cadwallader and Jim Campbell of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth
University of Warwick in Coventry, England, says otherwise. Metal or rock music has a
positive impact on teenagers.
They conducted this survey on more than 1000 students aged 11 to 18 in the UK. The survey
also shows that metal fans are not entirely bleak future.
"During this time, many smart kids are associated with classical music and nerds, this is the
wrong stereotype, we see a group, even more stressed out with classical music and books,
they eliminate the stress with metal," Cadwallader said.
In the study, respondents were asked to mention family background, education, hobbies, and
media consumed. Once ranked, it turns out rock music and heavy metal topped the top spot.
Both are occupied pop music.
According to the study, some gifted and intelligent students use metal music to reduce the
stresses in everyday life. Includes stress relief by listening to metal. Frustration and excess
anger were easily overcome after enjoying the rock music.
"Perhaps the gifted students can forget the little stress and pressure by listening to rock
music, they can also eliminate the negative effects after enjoying it," Cadwallader said.
Is it true Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking listens to bands like Opeth to relieve stress?
Still hard to imagine. At least this proves wrong assumption about metal and rock music.
Students in the study could break if rock is not only associated with drop out of school. Or a
bleak future and crime alone. 2.7 Personality of someone who loves rock music
believe it or not taste music and personality type was very closely related. Based on a world-
wide research, favorite music can be a mirror of a personality. Scientific research is done
Professor Adrian North, Dean of the Faculty of Psychology from Heriot-Watt University. By
involving tens of thousands of people around the world.
The most interesting finding from North's research is the similarity between classical and
heavy metal enthusiasts. "One of the most surprising is the similarity between classical music
fans and heavy metal. They are both creative, quiet but not outgoing ". Characteristics of
people who like rock / heavy metal music: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard worker, not
outgoing, gentle, quiet
the effect rock music on the body: Listening to rock music can provide adrenaline unlike
other types of music. If you do not like to listen to rock music, then listening to it can make
you feel angry and upset and increased heart rate and blood pressure. However, if you enjoy
listening to this type of music then it can help relieve stress without affecting heart rate or
blood pressure.

Conclusion:
Music does have a certain vibration of energy that is capable of flowing positive energy into
negative energy or vice versa, if we are not able to take the benefits properly. Because music
is part of the universal language that brings its own message to the souls of its listeners.
Rock music can inspire lust, stimulate active movement, release tension and cover the pain.
But the music can also create tension, stress and pain in the body if we are not in the inner
atmosphere to be entertained energetically. While heavy metal music, and grunge can evoke
the nervous system, leading to dynamic behavior and self-disclosure.
