WesleyJones 03.22.15	@VaxXi valid point
MuhNamesTyler 03.22.15	they don't have enough swag
VaxXi 03.22.15	not enough wubs
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	Mainstream modern rock has been dead for a while. If we live in a world where Bastille and AWOLNATION are "rock" bands, then either the definition of rock music has changed drastically or it simply means nothing anymore. Underground or 'non-mainstream' rock has been as alive as ever, and better for that matter.
WesleyJones 03.22.15	since like 2000
dmp3131 03.22.15	No. Just don't listen to bands you don't like. You'll be surprised on how things change.
Tunaboy45 03.22.15	no it isn't
VaxXi 03.22.15	Everyone knows the sub genres of rock is better anyways
JokineAugustus 03.22.15	alt rock is so good
Froot 03.22.15	sapce roc is best spack
wwf 03.22.15	music is dead
granitenotebook 03.22.15	it's virtually impossible to say with actual fairness that x genre is better than y genre or that x genre is dead or anything like that because of the huge wealth of completely under-the-radar music that exists. but I think we can say with fairness that modern mainstream rock is definitely declining, if it still exists. (personally I think that's a good thing since it gives more room to the masses of other genres that definitely deserve their time to shine after the 30+ years rock had)
MuhNamesTyler 03.22.15	Why would you want to learn an instrument when you can just press some buttons on a computer tho
Snake. 03.22.15	"Mainstream modern rock has been dead for a while. If we live in a world where Bastille and AWOLNATION are "rock" bands, then either the definition of rock music has changed drastically or it simply means nothing anymore." as if this list alone was already cringey enough...
MuhNamesTyler 03.22.15	Cmon snake this is an important topic that has never been discussed before
Calc 03.22.15	no its not dead you just have to look harder
Snake. 03.22.15	like you're a user who's definitely been discussed before?
rockandmetaljunkie 03.22.15	Yes, Rock music died in the early 90's.
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	BRB lemme get my alts to troll you snake Damn, you got lucky this time...

VaxXi 03.22.15	Music died in 1999, now all that music is now and days is (c)rap.
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	Nice, forgot that eSults even existed.
MuhNamesTyler 03.22.15	Lol what does that even mean
adarkishman 03.22.15	how the fuck can subgenres of a genre be better than the umbrella term rOFL u cant just say u hate comedy and then say The Simpsons is ur favourite tv show
LepreCon 03.22.15	No it isn't
Ryus 03.22.15	all music has been bad since 1347
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	^1700's had a slight revival in good music tbh
Tunaboy45 03.22.15	After that it was downhill, we're at the very bottom of the decline right now but I'm sure things can get worse
wwba 03.22.15	I don't get why people talk sht about Avolnation, Sail is cathy is fck. Also using synth in rock is no news even The Doors used it in their songs.
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	It isn't rock though, don't get how anyone could call it rock.
NorthernSkylark 03.22.15	are you saying the doors isn't rock?
SomeSayShesNaive 03.22.15	Juvenile, how can a intangible idea be dead?
TheSonomaDude 03.22.15	The Doors are rock. AWOL is not rock.
NorthernSkylark 03.22.15	the doors are alive with the sound of rock!
zakalwe 03.22.15	Rock is alive and kicking it's just a shame that its performed by hapless wankers who don't know how to rock.
Tunaboy45 03.22.15	If you think rock is dead you're most likely looking in the wrong places.
Sowing 03.22.15	"Classic" rock has long been dead, but it has branched off into so many better directions and subgenres that it doesn't matter.
VaxXi 03.22.15	classic rock was actually what I was referring to when I said it was shit
deathschool 03.22.15	Ahhhhhh yeaaahhhhh. Asking the important questions
Asdfp277 03.22.15	delete this
SomeSayShesNaive 03.22.15	In terms of rock on the mainstream topping charts, rock has not been too good. Rock is not dead, that is stupid to say otherwise.
ChoccyPhilly 03.23.15	Shitty question but anyway. fewer boundaries to break, what do you expect? most people I know who say this are living in the past and want another nirvana and won't accept anything else but will call anything that sounds like them a copycat making music is more accessible than ever before, so more music and more shit to filter through
beefshoes 03.23.15	Rock is far from dead, but mainstream rock (generally) has been corporatized and safe as fuck for close to twenty years. Metal is pretty much the same way now too, but there are tons of amazing underground scenes. I can't really say the same for rock, but that's just my taste. Trying to make a philosophical argument for the death of [x] genre is stupid and pointless.
