Rock Musical

Starting with the 1956 movie Rock Around the Clock, the rock musical became a staple subgenre catering to the perennially lucrative youth market. Like its musical brethen, this type features narrative periodically punctuated by songs and performances. Other significant works include A Hard Day's Night, Purple Rain and Jailhouse Rock.
