What is rock? If this question could be easily answered, Locke research itself would not have been necessary. And if it was already a settled idea, there would have been no reason for "The Sociology of Rock Music" to be remastered. Because what is rock is an actual question, after a quarter of a century, it has been greatly increased to 200,000 words, 1.5 times that of the previous edition, and this book, "The Sociology of Rock Music: The Definitive Edition", is being asked anew by the world. It is a book that carefully traces the diverse rock discourse of the 20th century and the activities of the people who lived in the field. It still resonates with all those who are still exploring rock. （Katsuya Minamida）
