Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of rock music in Central Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Rock music is uniquely American, emerging in the late 1940s and 1950s, with the influence of African-American blues, jazz, boogie woogie, and gospel, mixed with predominantly white country and Western swing music. This hybrid genre helped define a generation, breaking down color barriers in the South by merging African musical traditions with European instrumentation. The popularization of rock music coincided with the African-American Civil Rights Movement, which sought to end racial segregation and discrimination in the South. The sudden interest of white teens in black “race music” provoked a backlash among traditionalists and Americans found themselves in the middle of a “culture war.” The counterculture youth of the 1950s and 1960s rejected many of the mainstream cultural standards of their parents’ generation, especially in regards to race.
During the First and Second Great Migration of the 20th century, African Americans and whites began living in closer proximity to one another, more so than ever before, resulting in both races emulating the other’s style in fashion, art, and music. Rock music influenced the language, attitudes, ideas, and trends of a generation. The genre continued to evolve, incorporating new elements with each subsequent decade. During the 1960s, the subgenres of folk rock, jazz rock, country rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, glam rock, and progressive rock emerged. Musicians in the 1970s and 1980s created punk rock, Southern rock, heavy metal, new wave, and alternative rock. By the 1990s, artist continued to expand the genre by creating rap rock, reggae rock, grunge, and indie rock.
Florida has been at the heart of rock music and the “culture war” since the 1950s. The recording industry was actively making rock records in Tampa during the 1960s and in Miami during the 1970s. Gram Parsons, a native of Winter Haven, is credited as the father of the country rock movement of the late 1960s, and Southern rock emerged from Jacksonville during the 1970s and 1980s, with bands such as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Outlaws, and Molly Hatchet. These contributions played an integral part in the history of rock music.

Screaming Iguanas of Love (Musical group)
Melbourne (Fla.)
Description
A t-shirt for the band Screaming Iguanas of Love. Formed in Melbourne, Florida, in early 1987, the group consisted of singer, songwriter, and guitarist Gregory Reinel; drummer and background vocalist David Burley; and bassist and background vocalist J. T. Burley. Although their sound has been described as retro and akin to many of the British invasion bands of the mid-1960s, such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Dave Clark Five, the band recorded their two albums on Naked Language, Ichiban Records' alternative-rock division, capitalizing on the popularity of the alternative rock movement of the early 1990s. Their sound is also heavily influenced by rockabilly. The artwork on this t-shirt is reminiscent of their first album, <em>Wild Wild Wild</em>, which was released in 1991. Their second and final album, <em>Glad You Weren't There</em>, was released in 1992. Although neither album was widely distributed, both were critically well-received. The band backed Roy Loney of Flamin' Groovie in a short series of Southeastern dates and also toured with the Fleshtones.
