If there is one?

Rock ‘n’ roll is the older term. It can be used generically to refer to all genres or specifically to refer to a specific genre which is an offshoot of jazz. It has morphed into something which does not resemble the original. There are many form of rock music: Southern, Grunge, Heavy Metal, Shock, etc. Many groups have contributed to it: country, blue grass, techno, drama, etc.

    Probably nothing, although it seems like "rock ‘n’ roll" is sometimes used to describe really early forms of rock (40’s-50’s…like rockabilly)

    but not always
