Rock music in Pakistan has become very popular in Pakistan. A landmark event occurred in 2003 when the Pakistani group Strings's song, Najane Kyun became a featured single on the Urdu Soundtrack for Spider-Man 2. Rock music has developed so much in Pakistan, that it already has two sub-genres. The Pakistani band Junoon popularised a genre of music called Sufi rock (influenced from legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) that blended traditional Pakistani folk and Sufi music with western rock. Also Arif Lohar made a huge success with a rock folk album in 2006 called 21st century Jugni: this album was successful worldwide, and in India won 3 awards at the Alpha Punjabi Awards ceremony for best International Punjabi vocalist and best remixed and best folk rock album.
Bands like Seth, Mizraab, Dusk, Messiah, and Black Warrant set the pace for metal, many underground bands would follow. Pakistan Rock Industry has been getting large over the years, New bands are coming in and bringing their own style on the mainstream. Pakistani Rock Industry can be sub-divided in various genre's of Rock such as Progressive Rock, Metal, Hard Rock etc.
