60's Rock'n' Roll Changing the Face of America.
While the first United States astronauts were exploring the outer world for the first time, the youth were exploring the inner world of sex, drugs, and rock'n' roll. The youth's unity of sex, drugs, and rock'n' roll quickly became a coined title during the nineteen sixties. The world of sex and drugs incorporated with music in the 1960's became the start of the new era called Rock'n' Roll. Such music bands like the Beatles, The Sonics, and The Doors were topping the billboard charts with their provocative lyrics.

This could have been a main reason for why it was first a shocking type of music to parents and conservatisms. Stars like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry in the 50's used the blues and incorporated a faster beat and aggression which changed it from blues to the art known as rock (Wick 43). Teenagers across America first accepted Presley as one of them' and quickly made the music their lifestyle as soon as Presley's first hit came out, "That's Alright Mama-. .
