All of a sudden, people (especially young people) started buying records and then they started going to concerts; this making them wanting desperately to get their just bought records autographed (excuse the sarcasm).
All in all, Rock and Roll started a Cult.
Whether it was for music, cars, girls or fame; no one seems to care; nonetheless it was a Cult (which automatically gave it power).

The 60's.
The 60's formed a decade full of social unrest, civil rights injustice, and violence.
A lot of this action happened in the United States so it was logical that this will have to be the birthplace of the modern Cultural Revolution.
During this time, musicians reacted to what they saw and often the youth of the Sixties were living out lyrics and popular songs of the day.
For every headline there was a song by artists such as Bob Dylan, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Jefferson Airplane, and The Beatles.
Some talked about normal pop culture subjects like: relationships, break-ups and other common subjects; but at the same time there were artists that were discussing pretty openly political and social issues. Folk artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were beginning to be seen as the unheard voice of society and not only.
Songs like "Blowin" in the wind" by Bob Dylan began opening up the minds of the youth to the social problems facing the world such as the civil rights movement.
Along with the Vietnam War , a new movement called "Hippie" aroused. Its music fashioned the ideas of peace and love and was illustrated musically (because, we can easily say that the hippie movement had a musical revolution at it's core) by artists like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, etc .
San Francisco was bursting with rock activity and it became the center for the hippie culture. Thousands of middle class, college educated youths flocked to San Francisco to demonstrate their counter cultural beliefs. These summers began to be known as "summers of love".
