The new wave of classic rock is a style of rock music that is meant to emulate the sound of earlier rock acts, particularly those of the 1960s and 1970s. The genre emerged as a commercial force during the mid-to-late 2010s as a form of mainstream rock music that deviated from the contemporary sounds of pop rock and alternative rock by looking back to the musical style of legacy acts popular on classic rock radio.
