What is rockin?

Rockin' is a music genre that originated in the United States in the 1950s. It is characterized by its fast-paced and upbeat rhythms, heavily influenced by rhythm and blues, country music, and gospel music. The genre gained its name from the distinctive backbeat, which emphasizes the second and fourth beats in a 4/4 time signature. This style of music became associated with youth culture and rebellion. Famous rockin' artists include Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. Today, the genre remains a popular form of music, with rockabilly and psychobilly sub-genres keeping the tradition alive.
