When are you going to stop pretending rock was a major genre?

>Folk is the oldest form of music
>everything else is a blip because it hasn't been around as long as folk
>All other forms of music are worthless because they haven't been around as long as folk

>>69725781
It's also the least creative and leasr expansive of all those.

almost all of those genres have developed beyond recognition over that time
except one

>>69725814
If you think rock is more varied than all of these other genres you don't listen to some of these genres enough

>>69725840
which one Anon?

>>69725781
So jazz was a blip 50 years ago? R&B was a blip in the 1980s?

>>69725821
In over 200 countries utilising every instrument, spearheading every major genre and basically inventing music.

>>69725853
do i really need to say it

>>69725865
Rock is dead, it only lasted 50 years before running out of creativity.

>>69725880
yeah
>>69725869
what are you even talking about

>>69725840
>over that time
yeah, I bet folk music evolved a ton from the year 1300 to 1350

>Electronic music older than rock
¿¿¿¿¿¿¡

>>69725781
Why did you think this post was worth taking a screencap of?

>>69725908
what
have you any idea how long folk music has existed

>>69725898
Folk is everything pre-1900 that wasn't classical. It's not just Bob Dylan white-man-and-acoustic shit.

>>69725917
just saying you're comparing 50 years of rock's evolution to centuries of folk

>>69725936
what's your point, I never said anything against that?

>>69725947
oh i see
well, mass media wasn't exactly a thing was it

>>69725911
Stockhausen, Schaffer, Halim El-Dabh

folk is just rock music but unamplified

i mean...........................think about it

>>69725911
it's been around since the early 1900s

>>69725955
Just pointing out it's not just an age thing, it's the most varied of the list

>>69725911
>Electronische musik
>Musique Concrete
It started with composers who were tired of old instruments somewhere in the 1930s-1940s

>>69725956
tru

>>69725990
that's true but there were electronic instruments before that, things like telharmonium and trautonium etc

>>69725781
How's your first week on /mu/ going?

>>69725894
All of the other geners in OPs image are dead too

>>69726033

1. Rock has been around since about 1950, which is 66 years. Basic math?
2. Rock hasn't "run out of creativity" considering there are still tons of original, creative rock musicians and there will probably continue to be forever. Just like there are still/will continue to be original, creative folk, classical, jazz, R&B, and electronic artists.

>>69725998
you made a good point though desu
i was mentally comparing it to electronic music over the same time, not that it improved necessarily, maybe a bit in some ways and not others

>>69726068
what?

>>69725781
blues has been around since at least the 20s, which makes it well over 80

>>69727663
Which would be covered by ryhthm & BLUES.

>>69727687
Rhythm and Blues is it's own genre

>>69727863
this. what a pleb

>>69727863
Then so would blues be.

>>69725781
>electronic
>80

>rock music
>50

>>69727940
Yes.
