I remember 1986 as being the last good year for rock. Starting with 1987, things started a slow decline. There was still some good stuff, but less and less of it each year. Have not heard a good “new” rock song in maybe 15 years.
These days, when the car next to me is blasting out Rap music at full volume, the occupants are just as likely to be white as black.
Why would that surprise you? Aren’t most consumers of rap white, and it’s marketed towards them?
