Description of funk rock music

Funk rock is a subgenre of rock music that combines elements of funk music, such as syncopated rhythms, groovy basslines, and soulful vocals, with traditional rock instrumentation, including electric guitars, drums, and sometimes horns. The style emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with bands such as Sly and the Family Stone, the Isley Brothers, and Funkadelic blending funk and rock influences. In the 1980s, bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Living Colour popularized the funk rock sound, which continued to evolve and influence other genres of music, such as alternative rock and nu-metal.
