Some people think that rock is a white men's genre while rock n roll started when Elvis appropriated black music. The white component was added when Britain expanded rock n roll into the Beatles, heavy metal like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin,... And Van Halen was formed by Dutchmen.
You would be surprised how much respect Europe paid to black music, while white America tried to ignore it.
