'''Pebbles''' are a [[Subgenres|subgenre]] of [[rocks]] that emerged somewhere around the early 1920s CD, coinciding with the German Bauhaus movement and its interest in sticks, evolved from the earlier invention of branches. Although their influence on some avant-garde geologists was notable, they never really had the same profound and long-lasting impact on public perception of rocks that subgenres like [[stones]] and [[crystals]] later would. Their role in popularising rocks, therefore, has been much overlooked; however, their innovations lay the groundwork upon which those more popular forms of rock would be built.

For millions of years, lava and magma brought forth from deep within the ~~earth~~'s crust had been cooling and forming solid structures. By the 1870s, however, it was noticed that these structures weren't just any old structures: they were ''rocks''. Inventors for decades afterwards began to attempt forming different kinds of rocks, although due to their numerous impracticalities such as their size, their heat output, their inability to conduct a normal conversation without constantly bantering, and their production of some [https://thesamplemotion.bandcamp.com truly groundbreakingly dreadful psychoacoustic lift music], they were ultimately unsuccessful.

This was, until 1921, when Sir John of Pebble, a [[Great Britain|British]]-born druid and Master of the Eternal Swamp, discovered that if you left a rock by the beach for long enough ('long enough', an imperial measurement, is now estimated to be around half a million metric years), it would turn into a far smaller, smoother kind of structure. Naming it after Pebbleshire, his Zone of Origin, he dubbed it the 'pebble'. (It is often argued that Sir Pebble named the pebble after himself, this conforming to the [[John hypothesis]]. This wasn't the case, although [[Quantum Physics|despite it not being the case, it definitely still is]].)
