Isn't the entire article Western-centric, since that's been the breeding ground for the dominant rock acts? 𝒮𝒾𝓇 𝒯𝑒𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓃 (talk | contribs) 05:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some people like to cite Clevand, Ohio as the birthplace of Rock but they are evidently wrong. Rock music was founded in Houston, TX by a man like Goree Carter. Trenchcoatjohn (talk) 17:20, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No one person, or one city "founded" the genre. Carter is mentioned in the article, as is Cleveland. And many other places, and many other people. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:47, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Texas founded the genre... Clevand likes to take place but Goree Carter created it. Check your facts. Trenchcoatjohn (talk) 04:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
