Arena Rock is a subgenre of rock music that emerged in the 1970s and became popular in the 1980s. Characterized by its anthemic sound, it features powerful guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and often grandiose production. Bands like Journey, Foreigner, and Boston exemplified this style, creating music that was designed to fill large venues and resonate with massive audiences. The genre is known for its emphasis on sing-along choruses and theatrical performances, making it a staple of live concerts. Arena Rock often incorporates elements of pop and progressive rock, appealing to a wide range of listeners. Its influence can still be seen in contemporary rock music today.
