Shock rock

a genre of music that is oriented to shock. though it is becoming harder to shock people these days because we have “seen it already”. music is usually heavy metal (alice cooper, ozzy osbourne, kiss) or industrial metal (rammstein, marilyn manson). but in the end its all just music. the performances were more meant to be shocking then the music itself.
