Etymology: Part 1

Ongoing History of New Music

The study of word origins and word meanings is called Etymology. 

And rock music has it's own branch of Etymology and we can give you lots of examples. In fact over the course of the next two Podcasts we will break some of these terms down.

Why do we call it Punk music? And how did we come up with New Wave? Or Grunge? Or Post Modern?

Answers to those and more as we explore Etymology in Alt Rock
