In GNR (Guns N' Roses) fanfiction, the elements of sex, drugs, and rock and roll can be used to create a sense of the wild and rebellious era. Rock and roll was often associated with a carefree and hedonistic lifestyle. However, in fanfiction, these elements need to be handled carefully. For example, the idea of rock and roll can be used to show the passion and energy of the characters.
