Was rock a fad?

terrible bait. but folk isn't 10000 years old, classical isnt 1000. and r&b and soul are under 80. electronic is like 50. classifying old music as folk or classical is retarded. they have distinct definitions.

Folk is more than
Classical started around 450AD
R&B started in the 1940s
Electronic started with Schaeffer in the 1940s

>>rock died in under 50
lol

rock started with rhythm & blues technically

>>73337263
wrong, folk is dependent on culture so folk has died with cultures many times over and its all vastly different so much as to not be comparable depending on culture

classical solidified into what we know define as classical music in 1500-1600s. R&B, derived from jazz, is different then what R&B is today and also spawned rock. but the earliest dates are even loose because of the vast generalizations clumping them together. by your folk and classical logic, since guitars are based on string instruments from 12th century, technically rock began to first form soon after

He is completely wrong

Name 10 notable pre-renaissance classical composers

>>73338599
>pre-renaissance
The Renaissance period began around 1400 you total moron. Even if there were no "notable" composers prior to 1500 that wouldn't mean classical music as a whole didn't exist.

I am not the same guy you responded to
There might have been music but it is not remembered

>>73338580
Classical wasn't even called classical until after the classical era was over. The vast majority of pre-classical era music was barely played or recorded 50 years ago. 'Classical' is more a marketing ploy genre than any other.

Rock still is the most popular style after electronic genres.
Electronic music has been popular for less time than rock.
Don't fucking tell me folk music is more than 10000 years old
Same with classical

Retarded OP is illiterate about music. Classical lived about 100 years, just what baroque and romantic music lasted. Then you had impressionism, expresionism and contemporary which lasted even less. You are just putting all not traditional but serious instumental old music under that category. The same about folk, a nigga banging a drum is way different than an english faggy bard and different than bob dylan. Each place and culture has some "folk" music at a given time and they all die with only some songs trascending time. You cant put them all under the same category and say is the same music and it has lasted 10000 years. Rock is just a pretty specific style, just as any other style you could have put under the folk category. Electronic is just a medium to make music. Why are you grouping all those black music styles under one category?Im not sure if bait or you are seriously retarded.

>>73337212
Rock serves the same function as what folk music did. It is an easily accessible platform through which people can musically express themselves in a culturally relevant manner.

>>73339108
You can say that about almost any genres.

>>73337212
Though there have been fewer fantastic rock albums than usual this decade, if we're including metal under the umbrella of rock due to the fact that it's a direct descendant, rock is far from dead.

>>73337212
the human race is a fad in the grand scheme of things so who cares

>>73339135
You can indeed.

>>73339167
ur mom is a fad
