Iranian rock, also called Persian Rock, is a form of rock music that is largely produced in Europe and Tehran. Iranian rock is almost entirely in Persian language. There are, however, musicians of Iranian descent both inside and outside Iran that produce their rock music in languages such as English or German. Iranian rock has its roots in American rock, British rock and German rock, but has its own distinctive elements mixed in to create a homegrown class of sounds and melodies, whether progressive, hard, or heavy metal. There have been many movements since the 1970s. ==History== Rock music in Iran has been influenced by many traditional forms of Iranian music and popular rock bands such as Pink Floyd, The Doors and Deep Purple also inspired by remarkable events like Shiraz Arts Festival, has its beginnings in the 1970s with rock bands like ''Scorpio'' that played the songs of famous rock bands of their era. Soon it became popular among the young generation specially in night clubs and dance clubs in Tehran. The 1979 Islamic revolution did not allow this musical genre to survive long. Ayatollah Khomeini banned rock music, inspiring The Clash to write Rock the Casbah. During the late 1990s president Mohammad Khatami advocated a more open cultural atmosphere in his domestic policies, Iran came to witness a unique blossoming of an indigenous breed of Rock and Heavy metal musicians. What separates this movement from its Tehrangeles pop counterpart is the young age group and the fact that it is almost entirely homegrown, and mostly underground.〔Asharq Al-Awsat: "Iran's Underground Music Revolution".
