What happened to Rock n Roll

[kingstonkid]

Has Rock music now fallen to the depths to be remembered fondly like the big band era or Jive music.

 

There used to be Rock groups coming up, but now the only bands that we hear about are the same ones we heard about in the 90's

It’s still here, it just sounds different, the same way it did with the 80’s and 90’s from the 50’s and 60’s. Music changes as generations do.

[Hummin]

There is a growing scene with good old punk and rock bands but not in the commercial channels we discover or in our daily feed.

 

Check out Cody Frost and Youngblud and more will appear in your feed the more you play and finds new discoveries

It is a long way to the top.

The Brits killed it with fake American accents.

[proton]

Rock and Roll died with Eddie

 

 

 

[Cameroni]

After the British copy cat rip-off  came  Psychedelic Rock and Punk Rock, two more British abominations.

 

The Americans reclaimed rock with Hair Metal, Alternative Rock and Grunge.

 

Now it's splintered off into tiny sub-genres.

Worked only radio for many years and thankfully stopped before it all turned horrible. I think the last song I remember liking was maybe 2001.

People are fixed in their ways.

 

They still listen to the same 6 rock bands they listened to 40 years ago, don't take the time to discover new artists, or just compare them to these 6 bands and say they're <deleted>.

 

The radio stations know this and that's why they keep playing the same music.

 

Most of the most popular bands from back in day that people think are the greatest are unlistenable crap to me.

 

I discovered many artists since back then that are way better than most of the popular bands that people still think are the best 

 

Bob Seger is still good, though. 

 

 

[Cameroni]

Of course there are better artists than Elvis now, who make better music, but I just listened to Blue Suede Shoes on the car radio and  it still reaches the parts others can't reach.

 

No idea why.

"What happened to Rock n Roll music"... well, a combination of gay unmanly nonsense that has swept society with silly kids thinking people like Taylor Swift is offering an answer... may I throw up.

The jazz and blues/rock scene killed Elvis, but they needed white boy, so the White Americans could admit they liked rockn Roll to. Another thing segregation killed

This is a fair point. Is it me, or have female pop artists taken over? It started with Whitney, Madonna and Mariah, but now I don't see anyone who is on a level with promiscuous Taylor Swift, popularity wise at least.

 

Drake I guess, which is this rap rubbish, and Ed Sheeran's gay sh!te. No wonder people are listening to Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish.

50 years coming up when I saw it on Countdown going down Flinders st in Melbourne. Bloody hell. Fun fact I didn't know - that I heard the other day - ACDC never played that song post Bon Scott.

Rock is white supremacy.   Rock is for white people, and white people are dying off.

What a woman. I feel so bad for Elvis he didn't pick her over Priscilla.

Look around a little and open your horizons.  There IS new rock out there.  You may just not like it.  As people get older they get stuck in the genres of one time period.  I'm not that way personally.  The people I graduated high school with still think 50, 60, and 70s music is the only music.  I never limited myself to one genre of time period.  Move with the time. Enjoy the old stuff and embrace the new.   Check this out:

Or try old stuff by new bands.  A good example is "Beggin" which was an old Frank Valli song that was rebooted, and exceptionally so if I might say, by the band Måneskin.

 

 

And Frankie Valli

You're out of your freaking mind.  What a racist comment.  I'm not going to even bother listing all the black rock musicians out that.  What a moronic statement.

Here's some nice white guys perform whitey rock:

Spinal Tap 2 coming out shortly. Probably is a guide to how many young people look at rock n roll - old guys acting over the top. Having said that the few young people I know do actually listen to a lot of the old stuff - and think much of the new stuff sucks. 

[pgrahmm]

Country is closer to R&R nowadays.....

Not the real country "country" of yesteryear......

The Brits are it again, ripping off American tradition without shame:

Can highly recommend the remix version and film clip by Cyriak of Begging . 5.5 million views.

She was very violent though. I heard she beat up Ike with a stick.

She actually grabbed my ass and leaned over to my ear while she was singing once
