Rock died when bands were less preocupied with sounding aggressive, rebelious and edgy and more with sounding pretty and hipster and reminiscent of 80's new wave.
the Beatles were totally not occupied with sounding aggressive and they're the most known and critically acclaimed rock band ever

holy shit how tall is krist
There are still a handful of rock bands who perfectly emulate the agressiveness of all the best bands from the 90s. It's not original but at least its something.

It's a boy who cried wolf situation now, people have been saying rock is dead for so long, no one will believe it when it actually happens.
>>73649708
so death metal is the most vital form of rock?
>>73649776
But they were a pop band.
>>73649994

Rock died after GG allin. He was the logical conclusion to rock music, stop beating a long dead horse.
>>73650487
Wrong, the logical conclusion to rock is Trout Mask Replica
>>73649708
>reminiscent of 80's new wave
Duran Duran did nothing wrong!

If you're not talking about pop rock, then I assume you're talking about punk.
Punk was a rebellion from what rock music already was.
>>73650995
>60's:Rock was rebellion
>70's:Punk was rebellion
>80's:Metal was rebellion
>90's:Grunge was rebellion
>2000's:?
>2010's:Is Rap rebellion?
>>73650121
Helter Skelter is pop
>>73649708
wow edgy
>>73650121
That's one song
>>73649708
>music has to be le rebellious to be good
If that's the case, then why is the entire genre of Punk Rock shit?
>>73651231
kek how can rap be rebellion if its literally americas mainstream culture.
>>73649708
Wow, rock died when stopped representing what rap represents today. But wait, who are the biggest critics of hip hop nowadays, again? Oh yeah, the "le rock is dead D:"-fags.
Really makes me think
>>73651749
Are you saying for real that rock wasn't and still is american's mainstream culture?
>>73651231
>2000's:?
Eminem, dude. Hip hop was rebellious as fuck back then, MUCH more than nowadays. Now it's just a bunch of kids smoking weed and being depressed
>>73651923
Rock was mainstream culture, man. Even in the UK. And rock still are. Rock music is still the most consumed music in the USA. And you remember how was the opening to the London's Olympics? Yeah, basically a lot of rock music representing England's culture.
Stop with this bullshit.
This thread and all the hate against rap that i'm seeing on /mu/ lately, says exactly this: Rap today does more harm to what the "mainstream" culture represents than rock did in a long time.
>>73649708
Who is the band on the bottom
>>73652059
yeah, but at the time it was always being called shit by the older generation.
Now, with the internet,streaming,etc.
Grandma Helena can get her pussy wet listening to lil uzi vert at the same time as her grandson Zachary bumps lil yachty everytime he pretends to be black.
>>73649708
new wave and mainstream music in the 80s was rock, objectively at it's lowest
>>73652204
>Grandma Helena can get her pussy wet listening to lil uzi vert at the same time as her grandson Zachary bumps lil yachty everytime he pretends to be black.
Funny how this is exactly what happened in the 50's, but with Chuck Berry and Little Richards XD
>>73652148
Grizzly Bear negro
>>73652227
False. The 80's was rock's peak.
>>73652270
undergound 80s was the peak. mainstream was the all time low
>>73652244
A huge majority of the older generation at the time of elvis,chuck berry, and lil richards were bumping that shit. don't you know how crazy religious people were during that time.
obivously there were some who were into it, but no matter what thats how its going to be.
as someone who loves hip-hop it's not rebellious as people say it is.
the 90's- 2000s was hip-hops peak of rebelliousness.
right now every one is just c h i l l v i b e s.
so fuck off
>>73652396
>A huge majority of the older generation at the time of elvis,chuck berry, and lil richards were bumping that shit
Just as people are doing with hip hop today
Anon, the point is: let's stop being moralist about music genres. Why? Because being "rebellious" or not is not a indicative of the quality of something. Most of them were just pretentious garbage that lived off the appearance of being rebellious.
You are just acting like that Paul Joseph Watson retard. Be better than that.
>>73652381
Even the mainstream was great. The Cure, Talking Heads and New Order were probably better than the most of rock music that ever existed.
