To Catch a Wave

As of now, early 1973, it is clear that rock is neither the ultimate in cultural hallucinogens nor last year’s rush. It is an established, pervasive social force, and it is still growing. Note that I refer not to “rock and roll,” the pop-happy big beat that was disdained by nearly everyone except the kids who listened to it between 1955 and 1964, but to “rock,” a term that signifies something like “all music deriving primarily from the energy and influence of the Beatles—and maybe Bob Dylan, and maybe you should stick pretensions in there someplace.”

Robert Christgau, “A Counter in Search of a Culture” from Any Old Way You Chose It: Rock and Other Pop Music 1967–73
