Heartland rock is a style of rock music that began to develop in the mid-to-late-1970s in the Midwestern and southern United States. It is characterized by a straightforward, often roots musical style, a concern with farmers, blue-collar workers, and truck drivers of American life, and a conviction that rock music has a social or communal purpose beyond just entertainment. Heartland rock songs often use anthemic stylings to tell stories about life in working-class regions. The genre's major themes include alienation, despair, unemployment, disillusionment, and nostalgia.
It would reach its commercial peak in the 1980s, where the success of the likes of Music/BruceSpringsteen would inspire a new crop of likeminded artists that take their roots influence to music. While it declined after the 1990s, with other Americana sounds emerging in their place, it nonetheless left a profound and diverse influence, including towards alternative and indie bands; Music/TheKillers and Music/TheWarOnDrugs are among those continuing to release albums considered to be Heartland Rock.
