That is true.
I can't believe people want to argue that Hip Hop is not a sub-genre of rock. Of course it is, unless you are speaking strictly of the street-level unrehearsed performance, then I wouldn't all it music at all. More like a performance art.
Soul/Funk/R&B are also subgenres of rock, but are usually not considered as such because the Billboard charts were segregated until the 80's. Country music has long been mainstream pop/rock with certain stylistic exaggerations.
Jazz (not that stuff they play on the radio), Gospel, Blues, Opera and classical, among others do not function nor are they presented in the same manner at all as Rock music.
There's more genres that that, But IMO, pre-written commerical music with distinctly solitary songs is Rock music
