Shock Rock: The Revolutionary Genre That Redefined Music
Season 9 Episode 10
"Shock rock" is a provocative subgenre of rock music that combines theatrical and often controversial visual elements with aggressive music to provoke strong reactions from audiences. Known for its sensationalism, shock rock features dramatic stage performances, elaborate costumes, and sometimes shocking imagery designed to challenge societal norms, captivate audiences, and generate media attention. Pioneered by artists like Alice Cooper and further popularized by bands like Marilyn Manson, shock rock creates a multi-sensory experience that blurs the lines between music and performance art. In today's episode, Eric Flynn digs deep into the cultural history of shock rock and how it came into being.
