Modern rock music has less variety than modern pop/hip hop or

You're going to have to specify what you mean by "rock music", because arguing that punk rock, indie rock, shoegaze, post-punk and every other sub-genre of rock (guitar and bass-driven music by my definition) then you'd be categorically incorrect.

Much like the umbrella term pop, there's a massive amount of variety if you aren't content with just tuning in to your local radio stations.

Yet ''jazz'', ''classical'' and ''electronic'' are fine labels on this board lls

I'm not "this board", I have problems with those terms as well though I do see their uses as generalizations when discussing and comparing genres in a broad sense. I also see the value of discussing "rock" as a whole, but you run into major issues whenever you want to argue that these broad genres are homogenous in sound. Electronic music doesn't all sound the same, the label is just there to define a core sound profile. Classical music doesn't all sound the same, jazz doesn't all sound the same. You see where I'm going with this?

Pop is the weirdest of the bunch, as pop can mean either A) trending music or B) upbeat music. One couldn't make a sound argument that pop sounds the same, because pop today largely consists of house and hip gop, where as fifteen years ago it was pop-punk and RnB. You'd run into the same issues generalizing rock music.
Elvis Presley and Joy Division have almost nothing in common, save the instruments they use.

This is very true. People rave on shit like Swans or Captain Beefheart yet they play in the same old keys. Meanwhile you got Ed Sheeran with Shape Of You that was in C# minor, one of the least common keys out there. Rock music needs to move away from C major, Eminor/Gmajor, and depending on how much they downtune , B and D keys as well.

well who am i to argue with a pie chart

i would have thought the relative minor of e major, one of guitar boy's favorite key, would be more common than it was

>>74509531
Qhat you're saying is understandable, but at the same time it's much easier to do E minor since it has less sharps and the frets work much more easily for it as well, which also does lead to using its relative G major if the musician doesn't want the sound that comes with using minor keys.

Doesn't pop expand more than those rock genres?
Also I don't like how acceptable generalizing pop music is while people act like rock music "dares to be different"
There must be a reason the era of the rock star is dead, no?

>Doesn't pop expand more than those rock genres?

no, rock expands into pop (rock is pop though in technical terms).

>Am I 100% wrong?
nah, f a m. you are 100% correct. modern rock is literally ALL shit and ALL of it sounds exactly the same.

>>74510108
Not all of it sounds the same, I know, but half of it does.
I agree 100% of it sounds like shit, though.

>>74510326
okay then.
