Rock music is dead, right?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:10 PM Author: Goy Debord By "rock" I mean anything similar to stuff you used to hear on AOR radio back in the day and its progeny (like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.). I mean I am sure there are bands out there making rock music but it isn't popular like it used to be. Maybe I am just old. |

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:21 PM Author: hebraic nights (Poasting Fades) Yeah even complex pop music from the 2000s is dead like even stuff like KP, Gaga, Britney, and Xtina are dead and gone.
Today's artists are influencers and internet personalities who convert to ultra low effort pop stars. The problem is that the music is not the product. No one has solved for this. Regardless of genre there's no functional musical artists where the music is the art. The art is the attention economy which is fueled by social media. |

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:34 PM Author: Goy Debord Just a question riffing on the "Bands with one song" poast. An interesting cultural development. 50 years from now the "rock era" of popular music will be like Doo Wop from the 50s.

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:57 PM Author: """''''"'"''"''''' I mean not exactly. the golden age of rock circa 1963-1978 still gets a ton of air play and streaming numbers, and to some extent it’s brief revival from like 1987-1996. those eras will probably always put up huge numbers even after the fans and artists are all dead, but it was so well done it’s just hard for new artists to improve on it or even capture the same vibe (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5885133&forum_id=2)#50017141) |

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:42 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) but that level is of a far smaller scale than the mass produced music that attains national and global popularity, right? for example, think of some random country. Chile for example. there is likely good rock music being made there that you've never heard of. such music may even be a product of the Chilean music industry (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5885133&forum_id=2)#50017109) |

Famous rock bands from South America tour all over LatAm and the US. Virtually all native Spanish speakers have heard of the top Argentine rock bands of history.

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:49 PM Author: UhOh there's more of it than ever but yeah, no one cares anymore. like music in general has kind of faded away as a thing of importance. it's just background noise now. i don't think the kids identify with music like they used to. there's so much of it, they have instant access to all of it, and there's tons of new shit everyday. you can't build an identity around that, it's too much to really care about in a meaningful way. and if everyone else can instantly listen to obscure punk, what really makes you a punk? it used to mean something that you took the effort to get into whatever genre you identified with. now there's nothing to it. there's so much media and entertainment that it's all worthless.

Date: July 22nd, 2026 2:55 PM Author: UhOh yeah but that's just the music business, same old same old. plenty of really good shit out there flying under the radar. and counterpoint, the biggest rock story of the year is angine de poitrine who are unquestionably high skilled, really unique, and downright quirky. hard to imagine these guys would have blown up without the internet. any old school label would have said too niche.
