Ever since the invention of the genre, rock music has always embodied rebellion and youthful energy.
There are few other styles of music that are bolder, more militant and more energetic than rock music.
And everyone from Elvis Presley's pelvis to Bob Dylan's poetry has changed the world in its own way.
The nineties has also had its share of rocking rebels.
From the aggressive advent of rap-rock and nu metal to the brash, unwashed and unapologetic style of grunge, the 90s was a rocking battleground and these were some of its most powerful warriors.
-Limp Bizkit: You can love them for their energy or hate them for accusations of selling out but undoubtedly Limp Bizkit became a household name in the late 90s.
With the hits 'Nookie', 'Break Stuff', and 'Rollin'', Limp Bizkit ruled the charts with an iron fist.
And admit it, you wore your red cap backwards for a few months, didn't you? -Matchbox 20: The landscape of rock was never the same after the hit single 'Push'.
Rob Thomas and his crew of rowdy rockers named after a nagging habit have been releasing smash hits for more than a decade now.
Their combination of soulful songwriting and catchy alternative rock tunes have propelled them to the top and have helped them to stay there.
-Rage Against The Machine: If you thought that loud music was all about decadence and over the top sexual behavior, you haven't listened to Rage Against The Machine.
Their lyrical output matches the aggressive delivery of their frontman, Zack de la Rocha.
Politics, militancy, protest and leftist sympathies fill the song sheets of this band.
This group embodied the rage and righteous anger of an entire generation milked by dirty capitalism and corrupt bureaucracies.
