I've seen Rock used as synonymous with Rock n Roll and other times as a sub genre of Rock n Roll. Early Rock n Roll (circa 50's) was transitional period between Doo-wop, Jump Blues, Western Swing, Rockabilly & a few other styles too and what became known as Rock. And when Rock furthered developed it became aka Hard Rock, Punk Rock, Alternative Rock etc. I've seen consider Johnny Cash as early Rock n Roll and Rockabilly during his early career. Later on in his career I've seen Johnny Cash describe as Outlaw Country, other sub genres of Country would be Bakersfield Country and Nashville sound etc.
