"The youth and countercultures in America (and elsewhere) have historically criticized, or even rejected, what they viewed as the uptight, money-centric attitudes of the "older generation," specifically their parents and other authority figures, and this nonconformity and rebellion has always comprised part of the impetus and driving force for rock-n-roll"
Only among bourgeois youth who played at being counter-culture before comfortably slipping back into the mainstream. For the poor and working class people who originated Rock and Roll music success and the materal pleasures and security it offered were always a strong motivation and one they needn't apologize for.
And there was Rock and Roll music before there were hippies and all the counter-culture bullshit. Just thought you might want to know that.
