Rock’n'Roll changed the way of thinking of the young people, and with this came the new concept of “teenagers”, who were considered for the elders as ‘rebels’ and ‘juvenile delinquency’ after they adopted the music and manners of the Rock N Roll culture, inspired by Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, The Comets and Johnny O’Keefe (the first Rock'n'roll Australian star in 1957) among others, who lead the new teenagers for dancing and enjoying as Americans. Rock’n'roll culture influenced not just the teenagers but also the radio announcers who used American accents to captivate the young audience. Unlike their parents, this new generation was interested in fashion, television, cinema, music and hairstyles, which meant that they were the new objective group for marketing.

Rock and roll's growth was an example of the period's shifting social and cultural standards, which saw young people adopting fresh methods of expression and opposing their parents' traditional beliefs. For young people, who were anxious to connect with one another and represent themselves, rock and roll music was a unifying force. Many of the biggest singers in the genre, including Elvis Presley and the Beatles, were viewed as alternative icons, and the music was frequently connected with revolt. Racial barriers were also broken down by rock and roll as African-American musicians and performers rose to popularity in the music business.
In other words, they changed popular culture. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame puts it this way: “They literally stood the world of pop culture on its head, setting the musical agenda for the remainder of the decade” (“The Beatles”). There is nobody more important than The Beatles when it comes to popular culture (“The Beatles”). The Beatles changed fashion; in hope to be like the band, boys started growing their hair out, purchasing cheap suits, and buying boots just like The Beatles. The sixties were about personal liberation, with this in mind, The Beatles had perfected a soundtrack to go with that.
Then Rock and Roll appeared with strength and made everything easier for society. As we’ve studied in class, Rock and Roll artists danced and sang with a similar style, creating a collective identity. Performers like Elvis were the reason of parents being alarmed by this genre of

Through music the Fab Four were political activists who lead young people to be involved, became the faces of what fashion was supposed to be, and inspired musicians worldwide.

The Beatles were probably the most important trendsetters of the 1960s in Britain and for many people, the sixties mean the Beatles and vice versa (Hecl 36). The Beatles dominated pop music and become a part of the world’s cultural history (Hecl 5).

Perhaps the best description of the origin of pop music is the one given by Starr and
