Why does it feel like this was done on purpose to get rock out of the mainstream? Rock definitively died in mainstream culture in the 2010sRock stations forced bands like Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, Imagine Dragons, etc. constantly for some reason. Felt very disingenuous
turn on the radio today and every 3 songs is that shitty sombr song
Who the fuck listens to the radio? I graduated high school in 2011 and even back then it was unheard of.
>>130275848Radio is still the default way people consume music, almost exclusively in their vehicles
>>130275791How's the weather in Mumbai?
radio program directors look at album sales and streaming numbers and play whatever is the most popular to draw the most listeners so they can have the most prime real estate for advertisers. nothing could be less disingenuous in the entire universe.
>>130275869walk outside and tell me
>>130275885Explain why every 3 songs on a rock station is either RHCP, Greenday, Nirvana or Linkin Park
>>130275848RadioGarden dot com anon you no longer need a car just internet
>>130275791It's not the stations fault that every popular rock band started making gay bummer music about their feefees. Same thing happened to hiphop now that's dying too. They still have to occasionally play newer music so that's why that garbage pops up but most the rock stations in my area, even the one "alt" one, play shit from before y2k 90% of the time.
>>130275791The boomers killing off rock started way before that.
>>130275885>radio program directors look at album sales and streaming numbers and play whatever is the most popular They absolutely do not lol
Some of you kids aren't taking the death of rap and rebirth of rock very well.
>>130280224Rap is dead but rock isn't coming back whatsoever
>>130275791I've actually never encountered this, the rock station I would listen to would always play 80s and 70s stuff, maybe some newer stuff but always clearly rockIt was really hard to get, you had to get one very exact frequency whereas the bigger stations had much bigger leeway
>>130280315What stage of grief is denial? I forget.
>>130280224lol what rebirth? Where?
>>130275791it happened to every terrestrial radio station in the 90s/2000s as the medium declined. PEGs raped and gaped the entire industry. nowadays every radio station is owned by one of 3 companies that continue to bleed billions of dollars every year. there was no grand conspearacee behind it.
>>130280382One, denial. Two, anger. Three, bargaining. Four, despair. Five, acceptance. In sentences: 1. No way is rap dead and rock coming back. Rock has been dead longer than any of us have been alive. 2. What the fuck even is this shit!? You call this rock!? This isn't even EMO it's so weak. 3. Maybe we could pay for rock to come back. There's got to be at least one promoter who will push it. 4. What's the point, anyway? Even if it comes back it will just be shit. 5. I should have been making rock all along. I can't believe the audience was on their feet from my work/performance. Why didn't I see this sooner?
>>130275791>Rock stations forced bands like Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, Imagine Dragons, etc. constantly for some reason.Desperate payola and shilling from the labels. The sad thing is, the rock labels are still doing it even now for their dwindling audience with slop like Geese and Latrine de Poutine. Just a stubborn refusal to learn from how they tanked their own genre by cramming Nickelback down our throats for a whole decade.
>>130282104Is geese ACTUALLY being shilled to normal people though? Nobody I've talked to knows who the fuck these people are and everyone I've shown their music to agrees it's shit. They don't have shit for plays on Spotify and YouTube either.
>>130275791Nirvana started the trend of being a faggot while HipHop had the vitality. Now it's come full circle with faggot ass Emo Rap.
Rock lost to David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Skrillex.
>>130280224>>130280315Rap is still the absolute top most listened to genre by teenagers and 20 something zoomies. All the tuff ghetto migrants at school listen to it so little Timmy needs to like it too or he gets bullied, he can't show up to class listening to Weezer lmao.>>130280420Charli XCX made a song making fun of rock so i guess rock is back o algo.
>>130280224The rebirth of rock is recapitulation by the parties who lost their investments into hip hop. There isn't one because mutts still won't stop with the pathological nigger worship.Music is basically dead until theatre kids are kicked out of every sector of business.>>130280449Just three massive firms consolidating their control over what is published. That isn't the very definition of conspiracy.Musicians and appreciators of music have this cowardly way about them that's impossible to respect.
>>130275791music transforms for the better or for the worserock since the 2000s has slowly decaying, with the few mainstream rock left being closer and closer to pop each year that passed bywas this the fault of music industry? was this the fault of the youth becoming uninterested in rock and considering it old? the answer is both, both the youth and the music industry complimented each other on thisI cannot tell you as to why the youth and music industry in the 2000s and 2010s became more uninterested in rock, just some vague ideas, the best one simply being it got old and other music such as rap, edm and pop became more interesting especially at parties and concertsthink of disco, this kinda happened to disco to in the 80s, it got merged with other genres to the point that it changed those genres (pop) or it became other things (edm) and stopped being disco
>>130275791Up the punx
>>130281570>>130284118Why does the thought of someone listening to genres other than rap and pop bother you so much?
>>130284118Rap isn't music though.>>130284482Theater kids have always existed though. Ever heard of Bonnie Raitt?
