Re: Is Rock dead?

To be harsh, you could say: Rock hasn't had a big, perceived-as-legitimate movement since grunge. Grunge isn't fun and you can't really sing along to it. Hair metal and glam that preceded it is still as uncool and embarrassing as it seemed in 94. Metal takes itself too seriously and seemingly insists on being an insular clique. So what rock music is a hypothetical "new fan" going to listen to? You have to go to individual bands, not entire scenes, I think. That's part of why it's so hard to tell what's "going on in rock these days" or have discussions with broad samples of rock fans.
