    Actually, rock n roll did originate with Black musicians. The term "rock n roll" itself was old Black slang for sex, it can be heard in songs long before rock n roll music existed, back to the 1920s or 1930s. Technically, the original "rock n roll" is like an earlier version of what was later called "blue eyed soul". Which is rhythm & blues (previously called "race music") by white artists. The early rock n roll acts charted on the Billboard R&B chart too like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, even Conway Twitty (who later switched to country music). The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac (original lineup), etc were all doing music based on blues and R&B. Rockabilly is R&B mixed with country. Country swing is country mixed with jazz, bluegrass has jazz elements too.
    Rock n roll became known as "white music" because some of the later offshoots like progressive rock had less blues influence and more European music such as classical. The audience for rock was mainly white & largely male. In the 1960s a lot of the younger Black audience abandoned the blues, they considered it low class or "country"/hillbilly. They went with soul, which was considered more high class than blues. B.B. King has spoken about this abandonment. Some Motown & Stax artists blew up and crossed over. Notice that with jazz & blues a lot of the audience for those today is often largely white, no matter what the race of the artist is. It was the white artists, particularly the British Invasion ones, who would shout out the Black blues singers, put them on their tours, or record with them.

      ​@@100timessquare Shan was barely 25 when the show aired smh y'all mfs exaggerate anything. Will was 22 and playing a 16 year old. It's a show though, plenty of late 20s early 30s people playing high schoolers still, if you still look youthful enough you can pull it off. Let's not act like a lot of folks in school didn't look old as fuck in their teens.
