Drugs have changed. The drugs the rock bands use are different and Pot is 20x stronger.

It first leaped on to the cultural scene with “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” ...

 

Barf. Any article that links Bob Dylan with rock is insane. What Gen Xer wrote this?

Rock isn’t dead. It’s morphed into Country Music. And as the late great Tom Petty said....

Modern country music is like “bad rock with a fiddle”.

Rock has been dead for decades...It’s all been played...Over and over and over...By the late 70s there was nothing new...It was all basically the same rehashed sound with slight variations.

It’s not just that rock is disappearing (yeah I know about indie and hear a lot of great new music on Little Steven’s Underground Garage and other SXM channels).

The truth is - BANDS are disappearing!

Rick Beato explains this better than I can and has the data to prove it:

Musicians have to buck the trend to form a band and get their songs out today, and they mostly have to do it on their own, because the “music industry” could give an eff for anything other than profit.

Rock music isn’t dead. I’ve downloaded over 15,000 songs on my personal playlist. All genres of music.

Including thousands of current rock songs. Just because commercial radio stations WHICH SUCK doesn’t play them doesn’t mean that rock is dead.

Rocks not dead. It’s just not popular anymore. There’s lots of amazing rock bands formed since 2000 running around out there making amazing music and playing great live. It’s just not selling for beans and the venues are small. But it ain’t dead by any stretch.

When the Classic Rock station started listing Billy Joel as “Classic Rock”, I knew it was in trouble.

Turns out most of those tock and rollers were and are lefties. In other words, establishment, anti-God, gender confused, globalist warmongers.

Agreed. It’s like this guy never heard of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis.

This is bull crap really. Classic rock not only lives on, but it has a following in the new generations as well. Sadly they don’t have the dedication nor the talent to create more of it.
But classic rock stations are still on the radio. And in watching the youtube reaction channels then it is so interesting to see the rappers and hip hoppers get hooked on classic rock and leave their old music behind. It is so fun to hear them come to the realization that today’s music sucks. I have heard them say that over and over again.

Classic rock is now old people music. The rockers we listened to in the 60s and 70s and early 80s are all getting old and dying. And there are no mew rock and roll bands.

Deconstructionism is less interested in new creation than in the ruins.

This cuts back to its Sabbatean origins in what made Weishaupt's "religious merger" of the Illuminati workable. The coming of the Messiah, His retun (both founded in Behar Sinai (Lev.25-26)), the Mahdi, the phoenix bird... ALL are founded in the idea of a perfect world that arises from the ashes of societal collapse. Hence, "if we can't be saints let's all be sinners" became the rule of the age.

I’s so old that I remember when the left was anti-establishment.
