lol...with a username like your's it's not hard to figure that
it has been overplayed like Freebird...it tends to trivialize stuff
if Korn or Limp Bizkit or Deftones or Papa Roach had anything so drummed into the culture's head you'd wonder what was the big deal there too...when you are 40 years out from your High School musical chronology you will likely look around too and go what the hell in comparing musical landscapes.
very little of today's stuff appeals to me..if I put the TV on background it goes to GAC or VHI classics
on Raphsody on my Droid if not on talk radio already I tend to listen to older stuff I like from early to a few contemporaries
My older kids like Avenge Sevenfold...something derived from Sabbath to Korn and then back to this weird horror rock...but it really doesn't work for me and the vulgarity is over the top
God is alive but rock is fairly dead
You have to evaluate it on, how it sounded when it first came out.....and at the time, it was totally mind-blowing compared to anything else out there...of course over time it loses the edginess it had.
Rock? Dead? Hardly. My wife is modern country only, therefore my kids grow up fans... Until Dad gets them on the road and bombards them with The Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, The Who, etc. By the time they get their own vehicle its 90% rock in their CD case. Drives my wife crazy.
