    Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music[3][4] that developed in the

    late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.[5]
    With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock, and acid rock,[6] heavy metal bands
    developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by distortion, extended guitar
    solos, emphatic beats, and loudness. The lyrics and performances are sometimes
    associated with aggression and machismo.[6]

    In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and
    Deep Purple were founded.[7] Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were
    often derided by critics. Following the blueprint laid down by Led Zeppelin and
    Black Sabbath, several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible
    forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and
    Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and wild
    party rock of Van Halen.[8] During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the
    genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence;[9][10] Motörhead
    introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Beginning
    in the late 1970s, bands in the new wave of British heavy metal such as Iron Maiden
    and Saxon followed in a similar vein. By the end of the decade, heavy metal fans
    became known as "metalheads" or "headbangers".
