This is a lame ass history of the concept of 'Rocking Out'...
BEWARE: Unfunny and for those who are devout Christians and/or Catholics STOP reading.

The concept of rocking' out started in a little place in England (which we will learn becomes the unofficial rocking out country in the world) known as Liverpool. The origins of rocking out were founded by four young Englishmen who based their image on Lego; for they all had hairstyles resembling that of the Fat Controller in a special edition Thomas the Tank engine Lego set.
These men where known as John, Paul George and Ringo and very much like the disciples in the bible, became the fundamental portrayers of what would become the rock scene; the scene which allowed for the concept of rocking' out to occur.
Strangely, these four men, also compared to the four wise mean who marched to Bethlehem to greet Jesus (The fourth one decided that following a star was a 'stupid' idea) and all brought presents to the entire new surfacing 'rock' sensation which would allow for the concept of 'rocking out' These gifts where guitars, bass and drums as well as vocals.
It is also worth noting that like the four wise men, one got lost on his way. That man was John Lennon who lost his way when he met a lady named Oko. :
Another note worth underlining is the fact of the name that these men performed under. Once again, the reference to Christianity is made, because like The Bible, no one knows why these four brave men called themselves the Beatles.
However it wasn't until the 'White Album' surfaced out of these four prophets holy hands that the true concept of rocking out started to surface. This album released in 1968, was 8 years after their first release. Strangely this has no connection with Christianity whatsoever. Other than the fact that by aged 8, Jesus was clearly a white Caucasian male.
This 'White Album' produced a track called 'Helter Skelter' written by the disciple Paul. Much debate the fact that the inspiration from this song, a band by the name The Who (which would later gain prominence and their name would ultimately bring much frustration) was the original rock out song. But like a Jesus baby brother Fergus, no one really cared.
After this release, The Beatles broke up; but their legacy would be sacred forever.
NOTE: New info on The Beatles. Ringo star, obviously following his love for Thomas the Tank engine ended up narrating the Thomas the Tank Engine show. Proving once and for all that behind Paul and John and sometimes George, he had no place to sing whatsoever in the Beatles
But a new band would take over. The band fronted by similar decipal name worthy members. Pete, Roger, Keith and Doug became the much needed rocking out focus which 1960's and 70's desire so desperately need. Strangely enough... another biblical reference can be made here. The last names of the four members have some bearing on the story of Jesus and of god.
Moon - Jesus was born at night under the moon
Townsend - Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem... and for the sake of the truth at the end of Bethlehem
Daletry: Mary clearly committed this by somehow become pregnant with Jesus even though she had never slept with Joseph.
And lastly... Entwhistle: There is no first hand account of this but Jesus’ 'ent' apparently whistled when he had to pee... thus claiming he was the true son of god
The Who would soon become subject to large degrees of Frustration. This was commonly done in the following form: "What are you listening too?"
"The Who"
"Who?"
"The Who"
"Yeah that’s what I asked Who?"
Also coined Dr. Who. One of the worst portrayed space doctors since Chewbacca helped to seal up Han Solo's bullet wound after he battled with some rogue Ewoks in a never shown scene in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Shortly thereafter, Han Solo legally changed his name to 'One Hand' Solo
However, after the Who (The Who?" I SAID THE WHO!") Rock music saw a turn of the politically charged punk bands which seemed to somehow branch under its own umbrella. These bands also held violent band names. 'The Clash', 'The Sex Pistols' and 'The Dead Kennedy’s'
These politically charged band names promoted many things. 'The Clash' promoted spitting heavily whilst talking or in some cases singing. The Dead Kennedy's promoted dressing like a multicolored picket fence. And the Sex Pistols proved that by associating the sex in a band name excludes you from future hall of fame inductions
The members of Machine Gun Felacatio have recently shown their angst towards this unstated rule by saying 'Oh fuck'
The next wave to sweep the rock world was Duran Duran. The released three main rock out songs 'Hungry like the wolf' proving that a song about absolutely nothing can become a hit. 'A View to a Kill' proved that Roger Moore + A Black chic = Extreme Bond Hotness and 'Planet Earth' which ended all theories on how exactly with the dress séance they had... where actually human
However, it was clear that rocking out was plummeting from its original roots. There had not been a band the could energize a crowd like the Beatles nor the Who, nor any bands that could put a 'The' in front of their names... nor be referred to biblically for comical respectability
Grunge hit the scene in Seattle and finally the concept of Rocking' Out was in full force. Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit was released and made the modern rock out track of its time. Apparently the song coins the Teenage angst swirling around a lot of troubled, troubled and probably criminated teens in the early 1990's
However, to me, to coins the Teenage stupidly in righting a song about a genetically different person who is most commonly nicknamed 'Whitey', an invertible animal a penis and mulatto which no one knows what it actually is... but most think its a form of Argentinean coffee in which people die from.
And it brings us up to today. There is one band that seems content on assuring us the ability to rock out, and bringing the concept of rocking' out back to the British. They are known as the Arctic Monkeys. It cleverly uses comicalness with the ability to make people rock out
:
People often rock out whilst pondering 'What is an arctic monkey? And what does it look like? Is it like a Baboon that suffers from that albino gene? Is it just a rare form of ice monkey? Or are these young chaps getting mixed up with penguins?" This formula has proven to be effective, and it can be concluded that despite the foundations of comical biblical connection have dramatically died,
The concept of rocking out is undoubtedly fresh.
