Paracelsus, 16th Century Swiss medic guy and time traveler describes rock and roll to his contemporaries as such:

"Whores and scoundrels who take pleasure in guitar and lute playing… satisfying all voluptuousness, bodily pleasure, imagination and fancy."

Nailed it.

Kidding aside, that was a description the "dance plagues" of the day, link to BBC article https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/202 ... ket-newtab
