Yungblud appeared on Howard Stern‘s SiriusXM show on Monday, and refuted the radio host’s feeling that “rock is dead” by listing off a number of bands that are carrying the music genre’s proverbial torch at the moment.Yungblud countered Stern by saying, “Rock music is so brilliant in it gets its flowers in hindsight because it’s such a sacred genre. Every dad says, ‘I don’t like that band, it sounds like (a band that they knew as a kid).'”He continued, “Rock music is coming back at the minute. People always put so much pressure on one person bringing it back: ‘Who’s gonna save rock ‘n’ roll?’ That’s a load of bullshit.”The UK singer then named a bunch of bands in various rock subgenres who are thriving right now: “In hardcore, you’ve got Knocked Loose and Turnstile; and punk you’ve got Amyl and the Sniffers and Lambrini Girls; and indie you’ve got Fontaines [D.C.] and Geese and Wunderhorse.”
they want to make yungblud a thing so bad but it will never happen
I'm so tired of people naming literal who bands as proof that rock isn't dying. Like, ok there are a few bands making new music, but it's never going to be a culturally relevant genre ever again.
>literal who names off literal whos>"see guise, rock isn't dead!" Besides. Rock was perfected and solved in the 70s so who gives a shit if it's dead or not
>>128833939I'm tired of rock fans being desparate for mainstream validation, who cares if its culturally relevant?
>>128834085because I'm tired of having to listen to old stuff since nothing good has come out in 15+ years. Having it culturally relevant means more people will make music for it, and you get better output.Country music has new stuff coming out all the time that people get excited over and I miss that for rock.
>>128833939as an artform it just hasn't evolved at all. 50's rock sounded different than 60's rock sounded different from 70s, 80s, 90s. All of the "new rock" now sounds identical to shit from 2006 to me. Like WWE payperview themesongs.
>>128834107Like you said, rock music is coming out, it’s just not mainstream, but then who cares what normie cattle are into
>>128834148it's not mainstream because it sucks.
>>128834221There was a great honnybarna record this year, and a fairly good record by thee oh sees, and two really good albums by the psychedelic porn crumpets. It sounds like you can’t enjoy music unless normalfaggots are glazing it, that sounds like entirely your problem, just stop with the whining as if anyone else cares.
>>128834293every band you listed is at least 10 years old.
>>128833901>The UK singer then named a bunch of bands in various rock subgenres who are thriving right nowbeing total unknowns and not selling any music is thriving? back in the day bands would be everywhere thanks to radio and mtv
>>128833939it's becoming like jazz in that way. plenty of current jazz artists doing their thing, you could never say the genre is "dead," but it has zero relevance or mainstream appeal
>>128833901If rock isn't dead, it should be easy to answer the question "What is the sound of the 2020s?". Rock has been fractured into a bunch of little cargo cults trying to revive 20th century genres. There is no prevailing sound or trend that typifies the moment we're living in
The only rock band left that isnt>edgy shit>depressing shit>look how cool the devil is shit>emo because society shit>played on tiktok edits for "vibes"
>>128835325But it is mediocre pub rock that fails to advance rock music or bring to it any new ideas
>>128834107County music fucking sucks.
>>128835339>but ackshually it isnt doing this technical music industry shit We need more pub rock. Not rock about how edgy something is, or how sad you feel after break ups and drugs or how government does anything or some retarded goth vibes about the devil and bats or some shit. Its all just larping.
>>128833901rock might not be dead, but it sure as fuck sold out. JUST LIKE HOWARD STERN.https://www.brighteon.com/cae024d0-176a-43c4-ae6c-134287422be4
>>128833901ELLO! ITS ME YOUNG BLOOD! AND IM ERE TO TELL YOU THAT THERES NOTHING MORE ROCK N ROLL THAT PUTTING YOUR RECYCLING INTO THE PROPER BINS! DONT BE A SPASTIC, SORT THAT PLASTIC! YEAH!
>>128833901>Knock Looseshit>Turnstileshit>Amyl and the Sniffersobligatory bogan band>Lambrini Girlswho?>Fontaines DCdecent post-punk turned 90s generic alt rockers>Geesecameron winter and his band>Wunderhorse.....?
>>128835121Ummm, I don't know if you've been paying ANY attention to this board recently, but Geese are saving Rock you chud.
>>128835339They sound nothing like Dr. Feelgood wtf are you on about?
>>128835325top 10 worst spammers on /mu/
>>128835671Lemme guess you listen to edgy shit and pretend to feel cool and depressed.
Gilla Band and Schlagenheim by bm are the last interesting things to have happened in rock
>>128833901All garbage mentions
Stfu and sing more Ozzy songs you pig faced bastard
>>128833901>saves Rock
>>128838465>He wasn't on yunbluds list of current great rock actsyikes
>>128833939stop being a huge fag and start being like Metal. Metal doesn't care about going mainstream they just make music and enjoy it. If they make something that gets popular then it does and done. It is what it is.
>>128838465>favorite artists include Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga and RadioheadGrim.
>>128837528I find it hard to believe someone above the age of 15 would make a post like this
anons itt:>thing is only "alive" if it's pop
>does another Ozzy changes tribute He should change his name to yungozzybatblud
>>128838803okay so name good current rock that is not popular.
>>12883880399% of people aren't turbohipsters, if none of the new rock bands appeal to them then yes rock is dead culturally, just like classical or jazz is
>>128841303to be fair, olivia rodrigo has had pretty good success with what basically amounts to pop rock or pop punk
>>128838714Likewise
>>128835246Unironically, it's Deftones. Post-pandemic is the era where they inexplicably got super popular with daddy issue baddies. It's like God smiled upon us tall 40 year olds.
STOP HATING ON THE ROCK GODHE'S THE MOST AUTHENTIC PUNK IN ROCK HISTORYSTRAIGHT FROM THE GUTTER
>>128833901None of these bands are good. >>128834107This makes no sense. Genres don't have to be culturally relevant for anything you said. Just admit that you're a shallow dumbass and want it to be "cool" so you can be part of a zeitgeist.>>128835246What is the prevailing sound of any genre recently outside of rap and pop? Is every genre dead to you idiots?
>>128841385her 2nd album was indeed rock but it kinda flopped, in any case there are definitely pop-rock hits (Benson Boone...etc) but no "real" rock in the mainstream or even semi-mainstream
Why are they marketing this kid to boomers who listen to Howard Stern and Aerosmith?
>>128844534Did you not watch his Ozzy tribute song? He's the next Ozzy.
Oyoyoy
>>128833901cant decide if hes more of a vulture or parasite
>>128844534they tried to market him to young people and it failed, reminder he started as a rapper
