Hey everyone. Im doing a research topic at university for english and I need your help. I need help answering these questions:

1. Has the language of rock and metal changed over the last forty years? i.e post-1965.Things i'm looking for can be changes in meaning (For example, does rock have a different meaning now than what it has meant in the past?). Changes in the way society looks at Rock and Metal music (For example there is now such things as christian rock, who would have thought you could associate the two together?? lol)

2. What words and terms are associated with the world of Rock and Metal? Now this is quite general so just list anything that comes to your mind. But more importantly is what kind of images do they portray or represent (For example, Tommy Lee and his body of tattoos, represents rebellion and all that kind of stuff.

Any help would be welcome and feel free to debate with others as it makes my research range wider without having to work for it


P.S links to websites are appreciated.
