Rock is dead and irrelevant

I think I saw this thread a few months back. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that /mu/ is just a Groundhog Day system in disguise.

All that being "culturally relevant" means is being part of the capitalist market. Rock isn't the music of the youths anymore so you're correct OP, it isn't being exploited by white culture anymore. Now that's Rap/Hip Hop.

Rock was only good from 1940-1960
Rap/Hip Hop was only good from 1975-1995

>>73649573
Radiohead's praise comes from the fact that they "destroyed" rock music and became a primarily electronic act. Their success is evident of rock's death, not continued relevance.

LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire are rock bands....

>>73649566
Being relevant to the culture we live in, as in not being a fad or disposable and continuing to be remembered. Notable culturally relevant artists include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Eminem, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Nirvana.
>>73649597
Because all of those answers are incorrect and I'd rather save time.

>>73649654
Not as autistic as listening to rock in 2017.
>>73649662
Too niche.

>>73649634
But what was good between 1960 and 1975?

>>73649691
Classical music, when Minimalism wasn't corporate and Postmodern musical compositions were still fresh and innovative.

ok...now you are just larping.

:D

Cage the elephant.
The black keys

>>73649721
How are Kanye and Drake not culturally relevant? Do you ever interact with people irl?
>>73649735
Too niche.

>>73649751
Neither are critically acclaimed.

How are Tame Impala not culturally relevant? Do you ever interact with people irl?

Deftones

>>73649651
Have you listen to In Rainbows? Is more rock than electronica. You could argue the same with a Moonshaped pool.

>>73649800
Tame Impala have an associated "hipster" or "college student" or "young white people" steryotype associated with them. On the other hand, Drake and Kanye do not. Everyone listens to them.

>>73649815
Not culturally relevant.

most culturally relevant rock is garbage anyways esp KISS

>>73649831
I've heard their entire discography. It doesn't matter what's more rock or more electronic. Radiohead represent the cultural irrelevancy of rock music, as they are praised primarily from moving away from it.

>>73649837
Lots of people are part of that demographic.
Sounds like cultural relevance to me.

>>73649782
Cage the elephant won a Grammy and black keys first album was given 5 stars when it came out in rolling Stones
And brothers was given grate reviews too

>>73649837
Drake is not critically aclaimed though.

>>73649837
>No culturally relevant.
And what about the whole 10-year nu-metal era they crated and influenced? They're praised as being an inspiration by many massive-selling bands like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit and tons of others. What about all those post-metal newfag bands that came up after Deftones started playing something similar to it?

>>73649837
>On the other hand, Drake and Kanye do not

False, I like and listen to Kanye, but most people I know dislike him personally and since most people don't have the emotional maturity to seperate the art from the artist, a lot of people avoid his music ( certainly since his last scandals and his music getting "too experimental")

Never cared for Drake

>>73649941
Metal has not been culturally relevant since the 80s.

>>73649909
Still not culturally relevant.

>>73649939
Yes he is.

>>73649965
The fact that so many actively dislike Kanye is indicative of his cultural relevance.

>>73649459
Are summer-friends really responding to this copypasta?

Stop it.

21 Pilots

>>73649782
Cage the Elephant is literally the perfect answer, I didn't think about that
I don't even like them

>>73649988
>Metal has not been culturally relevant since the 80s.
Fucking wot? You said that? Also, you understand that nu metal isn't really a metal?

>>73650033
>Also, you understand that nu metal isn't really a metal?
Oh is it an alloy?

>>73650020
OK I guess this is a good answer. They are acclaimed, popular, not a niche and rock.

You win, I lose

>>73649988
End even more don't give a single shit about either of them
I'm not arguing he's famous, but you are overrating his recent relevance ( which has been built way more on his persona than his musical merit)

>>73650057
>>73650075
This is a fake Gene Simmons.

Cage the Elephant are not culturally relevant or critically acclaimed.

Linkin Park you dumb fucks.

And if OP says it's not culturally relevant he can go fuck himself through a dead goose. They created a fucking hysteria around themselves.

>>73650094

I admit that Rock is still alive.

>>73650106
Not critically acclaimed.

>>73650108
Okay than name one artist.

>>73649459
Easy, Soundgarden.

>>73650106
Yes, that is true. I guess Rock is alive.

>>73650124
Please stop posting and confusing people. We are trying to have a civilized discussion.

wat

>>73650145
Oh shit forgot my name.

>>73650141
Soundgarden lack longevity. They're a "90s band" that were popular and acclaimed just like Smashing Pumpkins but ultimately didn't have the lasting cultural impact Nirvana did.

stop replying to bait

>>73650124
>Not critically acclaimed
Nirvana was a shitty band too.

>>73650229
They single handedly changed the face of popular culture and are the most recent rock band to be culturally relevant.

>>73650261
>They single handedly changed the face of popular culture
>Single handedly
Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains. They made it altogether, not just Nirvana.
>are the most recent rock band to be culturally relevant
Linkin. Park.

>>73650356
All of those bands gained the success riding Nirvana's coattails. The fact that they were popular is indicative of how Nirvana changed the face of popular culture.

Linkin Park are not critically acclaimed or culturally relevant.

>>73649837
>Everyone listens to them.

proof that you are full of shit.

>>73650421
Go outside.

>>73650386
Gone too b8 for me. I'm leaving.

>>73650188
What cultural impact had Nirvana anyway? Having their logo slapped on shirts? Being periodically posted on facebook by people who are less than 19 years old? Being the catalyst for god awful bands like Nickelback and Puddle of Mud?
The whole grunge movement was just a reaction of distress caused by the whole glam metal movement, and died with it. It was the swansong of the rockstar character, of the handsome bastard on tv that makes your girlfriend wet. The indie, emo, post rock, shoegaze, slowcore, literally EVERYTHING was thriving in the underground scene, always pushing the bar higher for further experimentation. And you expect the whole genre of rock music to give a shit about Nirvana, lol.

Hey gene why are you conveniently ignoring twenty one pilots?

>>73649988
>The fact that so many actively dislike Kanye is indicative of his cultural relevance.

that is some assbackwards rationalization on your part. Logic not your strong suite?

By this metric Rebecca Black is "culturally relevant"

>>73650430

try again Skippy. You cant make patently false statements and expect people to take you seriously.

>>73650449
They're some newfag Katy Perry rip-off.

But culturally relevant music (unless the only reason it's considered "culturally relavent" is because the lyrics relate to what's going on now) is bad

are you using Rock as hard rock, or an umbrella term as "rock n roll"?

If the latter, you have the whole industrial and grunge scene + alt rock

You're completely right, OP. Fortunately I don't give a fuck about universal acclaim or cultural relevance.

>>73649459
>The Mars Volta
>You're not going to hear their music being played at a high school dance
Oh, because that's all that matters.

On top of my head I can only think about two RnR bands that completely got into the mainstream, and those would be Nirvana and Marilyn Manson

Wew lad, can say almost everyone I've ever spoken to knows at least half of these bands. They are not niche in any way.
8/10 bait actually got me feathers fluffed a Lil

>>73650386
Linkin Park aren't acclaimed but in the 00's you couldn't have escaped them and up until 2012 they were still somehow relevant for shifting to electronic music,they're latest piece of shit had most people outraged and their firsr two albums are still getting memed about. OP ffs rock isn't dead,it's just not as relevant as it was. This thread is shit and you are a retarded faggot.

>>73649459

I saw Steve Hackett in concert the other week at the London Palladium and it was fully booked.

>>73649459
My bloody valentine is the greatest rock band of all time. They combine pure noise, pop, and sexual vibes into a divine sound. They made the greatest EP of all time - You made me realise. They made one of the greatest albums - loveless. They created a genre. No band has been able to reproduce or beat them at their own game. Rock will come back. Right now rap is dead and hip hop is alive. The mumble trash has taken over. Soon the children will realize the guitar's ability and potential.

let me see if I have this straight,

when a person paid to review music likes or dislikes it, this impacts the quality of the music? Does it collapse the musical wave function?

but if you want to continue choosing what you like this way.... good luck

Nirvana brought Rock character, emotion, and deep lyrics whereas it was just pure power ballads at the time. Nirvana changed the Rock genre, and made it great again.

All garbage. Hip-hop wasn't good until the mid/late 80's.
