Conclusion

In conclusion, the 1960s were a time period of defiance, protest, and passion, many of the political and social changes in the 1960s were created and popularized through Rock’n’Roll music. Whether it be protesting the Vietnam War through peace, protesting the oppression and brutality of the Civil Rights Movement, or protesting the sexuality and independence of women, the legacy of the 1960s is about more than just “peace and love” it is about standing up for what you believe in and fighting for it through music. My generation, generation z, and the music that we resonate with is a prime example of the legacy of the 1960s, as we continue to stand up against social and political inequality through a common media: Rock’n’Roll.
