Description

Soft rock emerged in the 1970s as a mellower alternative to hard rock, featuring smooth vocals, polished production, and gentle rhythms. The genre blends pop sensibilities with rock instrumentation, emphasizing melody and emotional accessibility over raw energy. Its radio-friendly sound made it hugely popular for mainstream audiences seeking sophisticated yet easygoing music.
