The lyrics of<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvhBZ_5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RockMusic</a> songs (in addition to the common popular music themes of romantic love, sexual desire, and loneliness) often express rebellion and independence.

It is different from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv5kRrJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HeavyMetalMusic</a> in its blues roots and a slower speed. glam rock GlamRockMusic A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvhBZ_5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RockMusic</a> whose heyday was the early-to-mid 1970s. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwEuHW5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GlamRockMusic</a> performances tend to be theatrical, with the performers decked- out in outrageous costumes and lots of makeup.

It combined a Punk attitude with a sort of Avant Garde aesthetic. The music was largely electronically created, repetitive, often trance-like, and sometimes dissonent. Toward the late 1980s, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgi__pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustrialMusic</a> became on the whole more rythmic and danceable, and consequently, more popular.

The home of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvp21e5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SouthernRockMusic</a> is the American south, and typical practitioners include The Allman Brothers Band, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvfkel5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ZZTop_MusicGroup</a>, Lynard Skynard and 38 Special.

The instances of <code><b>COLTYPE</b></code> are all &quot;the same sort&quot; of subcollection of <code><b>COL</b></code>. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rhz6DbnSwEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">MovieTypeByGenre</a> facets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv973YpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Movie_CW</a> according to movie-genre; the former's instances thus include such collections as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0pzgpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WesternMovie</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwFmUH5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HorrorMovie</a>.
