This is true, but rock n roll has been assimilated into white culture so much so that rock is more prevalent in white culture these days. It originated through black music 70 years ago, but it isn't the music linked to black culture currently.
Technically most modern popular genres stem from black music like techno, rock, disco, funk and rock n roll. Though these arent as endemic and representative to modern black culture the way hip hop is
