Your parents always say that the music that you like is awful beacuse it guides you to consume drugs, to drink alcoholic drinks, to escape to your home and to forget your responsabilities.You want to show them and your teachers, too that your music is the best and it helps you to be a better human being.
What would you do?

The pop rock is a musical genre that combines elements of rock & roll tunes with generally mild. The songs are identified as being of simple, catchy melody and repetition of the chorus or chorus and instrumental as the basis for using the electric guitar and keyboard. Wrongly associates the word "pop" with "popular" (popular in the area, or the general public), but the word "pop" comes from something instant, or fashion. The root of this genre comes from Britain, for what some call it simply "BritPop"

The term was first used to describe the successful songs of The Beatles, were also included in this genre The Grass Roots, Gary Pucket & The Union Gap and The Buckinghams.

Meet some of our parents and teachers regarding the musical genre we choose music is a pleasant and healthy environment that their messages are mostly of love and romantisismo.

we loved teacher :)
