Why did Rock die?
Rock was being called dead since the 70s, the truth is that it was always second to pop music
>>130684697>alwaysNot since 2008, no.
Everything died
>>130684679All things must passBe like Neil Young and learn to welcome change.
>>130684679It's boomer slop based around youth and boomers are pushing 80
>>130684697>Rock was being called dead since the 70sTry late 50s.
>>130684703You were an infant in 2008. Go eat your zoomer slop.
Rap became the rebellion of the youth. Simple as that,
>>130684679No rock band past the 2000s managed to innovate, or reach those peaks of talent + popular appeal, all the great rocks bands of the 21st century were formed over 16 years ago.
I hate when people say >X is dead!All art has been exhausted: painting, literature, music, architecture, etc. Just like what you like and don't be vapid.
>>130684679Zeitgeist shifter among youth from sincerity to ironic hedonism after the 2008 financial crisis. And this shift was amplified by labels that didn't want to promote rock music anymore, so it morphed into something else(like with Imagine Dragons)
>>130684679It was killed by the executives
>>130684679it didnt
>>130684679because all the industry plants realized they can save time and money on learning instruments and instead just rap to ai generated beats for cheaper to minimize spending and maximize profits. the middle class is going extinct and poors can't afford shit
>>130684679Jewish record execs promoting rap music because nigs are easier to rip off
starts with the letter N
>>130684679Postwar western pussification through consumerismYou need more tough-minded risk and impulse-driven people to make good rock music.Otherwise it sounds like a larp
>>130684679Fundamentally?Unaffordable real estate & intolerant NIMBYs.Rock requires affordable physical space and that just stopped being a thing 18 years ago, causing a slow but inevitable reduction in fresh blood.
