It's not rock that's dead it's pop - in the sense of the proportion of the 'pop'ulation who know what the current number 1 is, let alone other songs in the top 10 or top 20. If you watch Pointless there are regularly questions on pop and the lowest scoring/unknown answers are mainly from music of the last 10-15 years compared with much better knowledge of what came before.

There's plenty of support for rock music still, and not just from aging boomers. It's just not reflected in the media. Rock gigs in Newcastle are often packed full. From the big venues to small rock bars like Trillians the flag is flying strong for those who dwell under its banner. In all venues that survived the apocalypse there's a thirst for live music of all genres. As society loses its 'third places' and people retreat to the sanctity of home and a life of doom scrolling for their social interaction, having the ceremony of a live gig is a perfect occasion for people to gather and celebrate.

I think Rock is probably about as dead as Jazz and Big Band… That is to say: It may not DOMINATE the Billboard charts the way it did during the Rock Age, which I define as being from roughly the late 1950’s till roughly about the late 1980’s, and that is a FACT-look at the charts, and you’ll see that the last time a Rock band topped the charts was in 2010 with Foo Fighters… But Rock music absolutely lives on, just as Jazz continues to live on after the end of the Jazz Age, and just as people still listen to and love Big Band music after the end of the Big Band Era.

It’s not just rock it’s bands in general they are there but nothing like it was . Internet , computers , home recording has smashed the numbers of garage bands … you still have AC/DC foo fighters and a few others knocking it out in the biggest arenas but there are few .. A lot of the most popular acts today when they tour it’s a massive extravaganza more like a broadway show than a gig .. mainstream has moved on but rock will have its place ..

I must have had a wierd childhood, when I was eight or nine years old (1963 on) my main source of inspiration for rock music, such as it was in those early days came from my gran, she loved the Beatles, the Stones, and onwards into the 70's with Zeppelin, sabbath, deep purple, you name it she was listening to it and she made us kids listen too, she passed away in the late eighties about the end of hair metal (which she was crazy for) and the birth of Metallica. My family are convinced she was the worlds first Headbanger.

For most of my life most people I know didn’t like most of the music I did (and do like now) Some did though, but I don’t base friendship on musical tastes. Some who differed became great friends, some who shared my tastes were great friends too, but some were jerks. I like what I like, and while not mentioned in the video, the idea of a guilty pleasure means nothing to me, as I like what I like. Like what you like too.

I've found myself making the conscious decision to NOT listen to the Eagles and AC/DC because of their a%%holish policies towards KZfaq. They've made their fortunes and instead of securing a legacy into the futer, they piss off fans who wish to emulate them a little bit for fun. They give us the middle finger, so I return it with interest.

I watch loads of reaction videos and the amount of Led Zeppelin reactions on you tube is phenomenal! I do agree about Don Henley however - he has had so many entertaining reactors' channels banned just because they wanted to check out an Eagles song - he employs dozens of people to trawl through and bust people for just trying to educate themselves on his music. Vile behaviour

It's not that rock music is dead, changes in technology & society have changed music. It is harder for songwriters to make money from their music. It is easier for bands to get their music out into the wider world, but not in a way that makes money. Where ever there is a pub with a stage & music licence, there will be three or four musicians playing some kind of rock, jazz, blues, folk etc.

Still have so many fond memories of Thomas (the) Vance's Friday Rock Shows and before him dear old Alan (not 'arf) Freeman on Saturday afternoons. Rock is still alive and well in my view. So many musical genres out there that you pays yer money and takes yer choice. There's room for everyone. Though draw the line at 'Boy' & 'Girl' so-called bands.

If you get on Google home and ask it to play a Spotify playlist of Deep Purple, at least in my home, it’ll play the new songs of the upcoming album plus older tunes as well. And I believe it’s a great way to satisfy us older rockers and introduce the genre to new audiences. My kids (now grown) listened to 60’s through 80’s rock growing up. They’ve attended concerts with me. They can go into my music room and borrow old lps or cd’s and listen to them at home or where they live now. And lastly, I can’t help but think that U.S. copyright law plays a part in limiting access to rock music. You mentioned Don Henley, who appears to use the law as a sword to wield power over others to extract every single penny he can get from his songs. I would like to see a maximum of 25 years of copyright ownership and then let the song become part of public domain. Then we could see more covers on KZfaq and other platforms, and maybe, just maybe have a rock revival.

I don’t know about that but when I listen to modern country it sounds like the pop music of the 60s and 70s so I’m seeing country is dead
@zuperdee3 күн бұрын
Modern country music has DEFINITELY lost touch with its original heritage and roots, in my opinion. This is probably in no small part because the original culture that produced country music (that is to say, those who grew up in either Appalachian mining towns, farms, ranches, or somewhere else in the rural countryside) is no longer prominent in the lives of the performing artists or listeners of country music. Country music today mostly seems to consist of either nostalgia or posers who do NOT really come from a cowboy background, and have never truly experienced the life or the musical background that their ancestors did. That’s why many of them seem rooted more in 60’s/70’s rock music instead of telling true STORIES (like The Gambler, or Coal Miner’s Daughter), and why some of them play guitar-jos instead of proper 5-string banjos with a true banjo tuning. But then country music has gradually been heading this way since about the late 1970’s, when people like Crystal Gayle and Shania Twain found it more profitable to straddle the line between country and pop music.

I believe strumming is something that you either have or haven't (but can learn). If the music is in my head then I don't need to think about the strumming, it just comes. Maybe it was self learning without anything other than paper books when I started in 1980 as a 16 year old with a Satellite LP for my birthday.
