Rock and roll

Rock music is one of the most popular music genres in the world. Rock and roll has been around since the 1950s, and has since developed into several different genres of music from surf rock to death metal, and has inspired pop music in general.

Eat and drink
Traditional Rock and Roll is highly associated with 1950s American cuisine, and especially burgers, fries, and shakes. Many traditional diners will play classic rock songs on their jukeboxes or via speakers. Later rock sub-genres are more heavily associated with pubs, dives, and bars.
 * Hard Rock Cafe is a global chain of restaurants in 74 countries as of 2018. Each restaurant is like a mini-museum of rock and roll, its walls covered with guitars, records, costumes, and other memorabilia—much of it donated and signed by the original artists. TVs throughout play music videos. Most of the locations also have a stage for live bands (or occasional sing-a-longs). Hard Rock International also operates a handful of Hard Rock Hotels.

Get around
Classic American (and to some extent European) cars and motorcycles are part of the rock'n'roll lifestyle. While the periodization is not exact, production of private vehicles took off in the years following World War II, with cheap fuel and expansion of suburbs and motorways. Cars became faster and heavier until the 1973 oil crisis and environmentalist concerns, which encouraged more compact models.
