Re: We totally agree!
[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Fussbett"]I appreciate the music history lesson, but you're still missing that I'm saying ROCK is dead. Rock has been claimed by the worst music ever made, and the "good" rock bands are terrible. [quote]If rock is dead, it isn't because of teenybopper shit like Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, it's because of insincerely edgy shit like Jimmy Eat World and Slipknot, or that new U2 garbage. It must be hard for today's teenagers to sort through all the fake rock to find the real stuff. [/quote] Hey, so rock is dead volume XII? Glad you agree.[/quote] I still don't see how Lindsay Lohan and Ashlee Simpson have anything to do with anything. The squares have always been more than happy to attempt to co-opt their dimly perceived notions of rock, repackage it, and sell it to kids that don't know any better. It was always thus, nowadays is no different. The good rock bands aren't terrible at all. Some of the bands that are out now are doing great stuff. Part of your problem is, I think, that you're narrowing your focus too much: rock isn't just guitar bands, y'know. [/quote]
