Wop Rock

For years I've loved old 50's rock and doo wop. This music was the birth of rock and roll, and it has evolved into what we have today. I also love modern day rock in all of its forms and genres. I can listen to both 50's "rock" and modern day rock all day every day and not get tired of it. This is why I thought about inventing a whole new genre of music called "Wop Rock" (or "Doo Rock", I haven't decided on the name yet). This genre was going to be composed of the doo wop singing elements and harmonic 50's sounds mixed with modern day heavy guitar riffs and "nu-metal" even. As it turns out, I was listening to Spotify last night and there's a band that already does music like this. They don't sound exactly like what I had in mind but they're very very close. I now know that this type of music is possible and I definitely plan on "experimenting" in this genre and seeing what I can come up with. This music would be "The Beach Boys" meet "Korn" (not as extreme as Korn, but with Korn-like elements). I don't know if my music would be that popular, but I know that I'd like it, so there has to be someone else who would enjoy listening to it as well.
