Wow ... that's a great question Gene. Maybe because it's cool to rock out, and kind of dorky to roll out! (Reminds me of when my son was a baby ... instead of crawling ... he'd roll around. Down the hall ... stop at the end and roll back!!! I have to remind him of that!!! He'll so love to hear that AGAIN!! lol)

So they can solidify it as a "rock", and the term is conveniently slurred
-
Rock music sounds better than 'roll music' and people do rock but don't really roll.
-
Rolling is now too much associated with the drug "ecstasy" maybe ?
-
Rock & Roll music died in the late sixties with the birth of Metal music. Afterward, the evolved music was called "rock", "pop/rock", "pop" ... etc.
-
Because roll music has already been taken by the holy rollers.
-
why do people speak of Ruin now when Wrack & Ruin conveniently shortens to Wrack? what the he** is Wrack, anyway?
-
Because ''roll music'' just don't sound right.
