Rock and roll is a male idiom. It is all hardness and martial beats, angles and toughmindedness. Dance is female. It might well be rhymic bound, but the beats are for dancing and they are not martial. Rather, to paraphrase David Byrne, they move on a woman's hips.
Dance beats, techno, anything that lives on the dancefloor is as feminine as anything that lives at the nightclub is male. The hammer hitting, pogo dancing, harsh rhetoric, subjective in your faceness of rock is at odds with dance. Dance may well be vertical fucking but it is vertical fucking in order to be a subtler seduction: it distances its movements from its desires, it hides its libido in dance, and it isn't the hammer horniness of cock but rather, the revolving, pulsating, wetness of pussy.
In the broadest of sense, music is feminine to, say, literature which is masculine. Here is why: since a woman's element is water and a man is earth, anything that that is ephemeral (such as vibrations in the air) moves towards the soft, translucence of the female, where as the inescapable thereness of words on paper is earth and male.
And so with music, men use music to get women because women are within their element in music.
This is true of classical, folk, jazz… but rock and roll saw a break with that. Within the confines of popular music, Presley, for all his raw sexuality, was a form of ubermale in ways Sinatra wasn't.
And so to today, where dance has become the prevalent pop form through its connection to the sexuality of women and hip hop has overcome rock and roll because hip hop figured out how to absorb dance and rock and roll hasn't yet.
