Rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read (Frank Zappa)

Rock journalism is journalists whose focus is to write about rock metal music but according to Frank Zappa, “Rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.”

Reporting on rock music is not for anyone, it requires skill and an understanding of the rock culture, the message each song brings across together with the different instrumental sounds used. These journalists write about a deeper message, that not everyone can find hidden in the rhythm of rock songs.
