Motti Regev argues that pop-rock is best understood as a single musical form defined by the use of electric and electronic instruments, amplification and related techniques. The history of pop-rock extends from the emergence of rock''n''roll in the 1950s to a variety of contemporary fashions and trends  rock, punk, soul, funk, techno, hip hop, indie, metal, pop and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book offers a highly original account of the emergence of pop-rock music as a global phenomenon in which Anglo-American and many other national and ethnic variants interact in complex ways. Pop-rock is analysed as a prime instance of ''aesthetic cosmopolitanism''  that is, the gradual formation, in late modernity, of world culture as a single interconnected entity in which different social groupings around the world increasingly share common ground in their aesthetic perceptions, expressive for\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Spirited, thought-provoking and replete with original perspectives that use music as a prism for understanding cultural politics and cross-border impact on traditional art forms.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Hindu\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"A very fine piece of work, which makes an original contribution both to our understanding of popular music and to our understanding of the global cultural order.
