Rock music has no place in modern culture

who cares

it may not have any place in modern culture

it still has a special place in my heart

>>70642389
name a culturally relevant and critically acclaimed artist or group that is NOT rock
no michael jackson was not critically acclaimed
>LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and Arcade Fire are not rock bands
you're retarded

I dont plan on attending any high school dances any time soon, thus drake and Kendrick Lamar are not relevant to me
Checkmate

>>70642389
Iceage

>>70642389
Culturally relevant doesn't matter.

>>70642478
Go out on the street and ask 10 people what their favorite Iceage song is

They'll all be fucking confused at what you're talking about. Shit band who no one outside of p4k hipsters knows about. Wrong answer

>>70642389
>The Smashing Pumpkins
>You're not going to hear their music being played at a high school dance
Fucking speak for yourself

>>70642389
Radiohead.
Regardless of what your post says, they are literally rock by definition.

>>70642550
Yeah I disagree with that too. 1979 has cemented itself as a timeless classic.

>>70642522
What does the average schmucks opinion have to do with critical acclaim? Delete your life you philistine nigger

>>70642621
Because the tastes of the majority dictate what is popular and what gets made by the most talented musicians in society. I hope you enjoy having no more good rock music in a few years when everyone is making either edm or rap music

>spot the American

I don't know a single person aged 16-65 that can't name AT LEAST three songs by Pulp, Oasis or Blur, and the songs are almost always older than 5 years old

>>70642694
So by this logic, the most popular musicians are the most talented?

>>70642721
I mean shit, these bands barely had a hit in the last 5 years, but songs like Common People, Champagne Supernova or Parklife are a staple of UK popculture songbook for hereafter

>>70642694
thats fucking retarded people still make shit like big band and polka you pillock

You have 60 seconds to tell me one good reason I should care.

>>70642550
you just outed yourself as a 25 year old

>>70642389
i agree with the majority of the classifications in your post but the smashing pumpkins are bot culturally relevant and critically acclaimed. you stated they aren't, but you're wrong.
also the 3 bands you said aren't rock bands are definitely rock bands, you should put a hard mode under the nirvana god mode where they are instead of trying to say they aren't something they are.

>>70642728
talent has nothing to do with relevancy

name a critically acclaimed hiphop artist from the last 25 years by the way

>all hiphop artists from the last 25 years
dont count as hiphop

jazz has no place in modern culture
classical has no place in modern culture
opera has no place in modern culture
avant garde has no place in modern culture
ooo nooooo :''''''(

>>70642840
hip-hop doesn't have a historical canon bc all black art is devalued and otherized by the west

>Arcade Fire is not a rock band

so what the fuck are they then?

>>70642935
a cuck band
a ""spiritual experience"" for ''music fans''

>>70642389

>are not culturally relevant, all of them are fad artists associated with a certain 3-5 year timespan with no real longevity or standing cultural relevancy.
Maybe not for your retarded ass, but for the rest of the world that aren't a bunch of contrarian idiots they are.

>>70642389
>Radiohead
>Arcade Fire
>not rock bands

Who the fuck are you to decide that?

>Fad artists associated with a certain 3-5 year timespan with no real longevity or standing cultural relevancy

Drake, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Frank Ocean

>>70644073
>standing cultural relevancy
have u ever been to america?
kanye DEFINES white pseudo-confident cuckos

>>70644073

Hi rockist! Kanye has been culturally relevant since the early 2000s and will continue to be culturally relevant up to his death.

>arguing over cultural relevancy when it literally doesn't matter at all

>>70642950
horrible

>>70644215
True

Does anyone know that last "rock" song that has reached #1 on the Hot 100 charts?
I can't think of another rock song the reached #1 besides "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry, but It depends on people's definition of "rock" as it was pop-rock.

>>70642389
>name a modern rock band
>these ones don't count tho because i said so
why even bother

>>70642389
>appeal to a far too niche demographic to be considered culturally relevant.
what?

>>70642566
This

>>70644073
Kanye and Kendrick will be debated on this board until the day it shuts down, they are relevant and their work has longevity. Kanye's 2000's stuff sounds better than almost anything that came out around that time.

Refused

why cant we just discuss music? Why is everyone so obsessed with the cult of relevancy?
