Is real rock dead???

[Austin M]

There are rock banRAB, some good some bad, thriving everywhere. What the hell constitutes a genre being dead anyway?

Rock music like punk, like hardcore, like Classical, was an era.

We're past that era. There is no innovation. I'm not saying that that is neccessarily a bad thing, but what made it exciting and fresh is common now.

So yes, Rock is dead. There are banRAB out there that emulate it, and that build off it, but they are no longer "rock n' roll" banRAB.

as far as rock genres go, I think rock is the best one

There are REAL rock banRAB however the buying public is no longer interested and neither are the record companies. The real cash cows are modern country and adult contemporary, rock and roll recorRAB rate relatively low on a major label's earnings. Rock and roll recorRAB have a tendancy to need major marketing buzz because the target audience is so fickle, in short it just costs more money to make a rock and roll record.

Yes, I still call them recorRAB

About the Darkness, weren't they just taking the piss a bit? I thought they were trying to be all glam rock as a joke?

EDIT: See what you mean rar, music changes over time and of course there are no banRAB like Led Zep now coz they are all in the past.

As far as metal genres go, I think screamo is the best one :

I don't really know what is meant by 'real rock'?

It's been a while since I heard a good modern band, but that's because I don't look for any, I don't watch much TV or listen to the radio. So no, I wouldn't say rock is dead as I don't really have much proof.

EDIT: HIM are you a girl now? Love the rose.
