Best Answer

Rock 'n' roll is about fun, dancing, and teenage angst. I know, I was there.

Actually, back in the 1950's and prior to this the term " Rock and Roll " was used among the African - American as a slang term for sex.

Many R & B songs in the 30's and 40's make reference to this fact, and this is why to this day sex is such a main stream in our popular music, or what we have come to know as ROCK AND ROLL!
