PINOY ROCK \m/

Pinoy rock or Filipino rock 

• • is the brand of rock music produced in the Philippines or by Filipinos. 
   
  • It has become as diverse as the rock music genre itself, and bands adopting this style are now further classified under more specific genres or combinations of genres like:alternative rock,post-grunge, ethnic, New Wave, pop rock, punk rock, funk, reggae, heavy metal and ska. 
   
  • Because these genres are generally considered to fall under the broad rock music category, pinoy rock may be more specifically defined as rock music with Filipino cultural sensibilities. It is very easy to identify a Pinoy rock song because the lyrics are often in Filipino, Tagalog, or any other language native to the Philippines.
