How useful is the production of culture perspective in understanding the birth of rock n roll?

Peterson’s production of culture perspective on the understanding of the birth of rock n roll is both interesting and insightful. He cleverly sums up his six main reasons of how rock n roll first emerged, as:

• Law
  
  
• Technology
  
  
• Organisational Structure
  
  
• Occupational Structure
  
  
• Industry Structure
  
  
• Market
  

The production of culture perspective looks at the social factors surrounding the emergence of rock n roll and explains how the climate at the time allowed it to flourish.

Although Peterson explains how rock n roll emerged as music for the young and rebellious, he fails to explain why.

Why rock n roll?

Why not jazz? Why not blue grass? His perspective completely ignores the music itself, failing to explore what was so special, intriguing, exciting and original about it. It’s because of this that his perspective cannot be relied on completely, when understanding the birth of rock n roll.
