Honestly, today’s popular music just doesn’t cater to rock anymore. People complain that rock music today isn’t “cool” or popular anymore, but when a band tries to make something more accessible to today’s music market, fans shit on it for being to radio-friendly. I hate when people say “rock is dead” just because it’s not topping the charts anymore like Grunge did in the 90s. There’s definitely good rock music around today, you just gotta look a little harder for it. Mainstream pop culture just doesn’t care about guitar-dominated music anymore, which sucks but doesn’t mean the genre is dead. Too many rock fans are stuck in the past, being nostalgic for whatever was cool back in their heyday. Oh, and when i say “rock” I at least mean something heavier than Indy rock or alternative pop rock.

To me the biggest issue with modern rock is the inability to move on. The older fans are so stuck on what was popular when they were teens/young adults that they won't even give newer, innovative rock bands the time of day. In my experience if you listen to many alternative/rock stations you'll find that most of the songs that they play are from the early 2000's or earlier. I know that 'Around the World' is a good song, but you don't need to play it 6 times in an hour, same with the other 8 classic rock songs that stations like to cycle through. How are rock fans suppose to embrace new or innovative rock when they're not exposed to it?

Completely agree! It blows my mind that good modern rock bands (Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, Waterparks, Neck Deep, Pierce the Veil, Pvris, the 1975, etc.), that are popular with the next generation, are not being played and promoted on rock radio? Like that's how you get more people to listen to it. The 'scene' kids are quite a big market; look at how hot topic is thriving. What young people are going to hear the same decades old songs on rock radio that all the sound the same and be like 'hey, I need to listen to rock more often!'. Promote the innovative rocks bands of today you stubborn, pretentious fools or stop complaining that rock is dying.

I'm just not certain how much sway most radio stations have on their playlists. Playing a new rock song can be risky and may alienate listeners. I'm certainly fond of 70's and 80's rock, but was fortunate that I had some friends at least push me into 90's & 00's rock. Like Jasmine mentions Paramore & Pierce the Veil, but even their most popular songs are rarely played on my local rock stations. The recent Grammy awards featured rock bands that have been around 40 years. As a popular genre I think rock and roll is struggling, though as a niche genre there is some hope. The future of popular music to me seems more homogenized and programmed, cheaper to produce but with no soul or humanity left.

Modern rock bands do not have any of that influence which really makes it lack the genuineness and heart of the older stuff. Also the instrumentation is very boring, hell I almost never even hear the guitar anymore, much less even hearing a guitar solo, which is perhaps the most iconic thing about rock music. Modern bands need to return to the roots while being able to adopt modern influences while remaining real(meaning no synths or artificial drums)

So I just realized something. What if not only MCR broke up because of the general "healing" that the members needed after being worn down, but what if they also broke up because Warner was trying to make MCR do what P!ATD and FOB and many more did? What if MCR was going to be the first of many but said "fuck no"?. I mean Gerard has said they were running out of ideas and he didn't see the band going on after The Black Parade. Man you deserve WAY more subscribers. You're so genuine with your reviews and you don't pander. That's totally respectable too!

If label pressure to go pop was a main factor in their breakup, then I have mad respect for them (I mean, I already do, but even more so) for calling it quits, rather than turning into some watered-down version of themselves.

The mentality of rock fans definitely plays a huge role in it. Not only are the majority of them pretentious as hell, but a lot are also just so close-minded in terms of what rock music can be. All bands on major labels pander to a certain demographic to some degree (duh), so they either continue making the same old boring thing they always have to please the already-established fanbase, or switch to pop music in order to stay relevant. If they were to take any risks or switch it up at all, fans would (and do) cry sellout and practically crucify the band for it, regardless of whether it was a sellout move or not. Rock fans are what keep individual artists from branching out and trying something new, as well as the genre as a whole from progressing.

This might be a hard idea to grasp but why would someone spend years trying to find love when they don't realize they've always had it; inside them. I believe the answer to true creativity lies deep inside us; underneath the subconscious. Some go incredibly far to reveal this treasure in themselves, but because we live in a society that conditions us to conform, the task of truly knowing ourselves while using pure creativity AT WILL, will sound like an impossibility. Which I believe I where your thoughts may come from. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it. Anything is possible, my dude.

There's a few bands that are doing cool things, but rock as a whole seems to be stuck in a rut. The genre has been in its "post grunge" era since the late 1990s. It's become diluted and rock fans are sick of hearing the same sound over and over again, but most bands are afraid to do something different from those who came before them. I think that in order for the genre to truly thrive, there has to be movement of bands exploring a new sound to begin a new era in rock music. Again, there are bands that are exploring new sounds and aesthetics, but there's not enough to start a new movement or era in rock music. I don't think rock is dead, it will never die as long as there's people listening. It's just afraid to evolve.

MegaCrasherMusic I feel you, it hurts to see how Alternative is having the biggest identity crisis in history. It's much worser than Fall Out Boy's identity crisis. I think alternative is struggling to mix as many genres as they can. Another problem is when they see how good one band's idea goes and everyone else begins to copy the same formula making all the songs sound almost exactly the same, even with vocals! I'm positive that there are distinct voices out there, but we really are just struggling to find those 'different' voices that embrace flaws. The true purpose of rock, alte, punk, and even metal is to be able to prove to everyone that it's okay to sound different, be different, because you'll always find a home to be accepted and comforted in when others can't, which is this community that is dying for all the worst possible reasons. Most bands nowadays are just sticking to an easy cash-grab by playing the mainstream way.

And when looking at the direction the music took after the band split, I honestly think that Brendon really does just prefer making that kind of music, I don't think he's trying to be something he's not, which is something you can't say about the other bands like Fall Out Boy and such.

I want to add to number two. There really is too much hate for other types of rock like one person might be into emo and then someone else likes metal and the metal person puts the person who is into emo down by saying "that shit isn't rock try listening to a real band. I'm sorry but it needs to stop rock needs to come together and stop fighting if it wants to survive.

TheZooropaBaby In what way are you using the word "overproduced"? In this video's context, it means something super clean and compressed. In Siamese Dream's case, it was overproduced in the sense that a lot of work was put into it. Corgan had overdubs everywhere in that record, but that contributed to the massive sound of the guitars in that record.

I have a theory that Linkin Park actually planned to make another heavy record, but Chester's voice was getting worse and he could have fucked up his vocals even more by singing heavier stuff, so they went the Pop road to give Chester's vocals a rest, they actually promised to do a heavier record after *One More Light,* but sadly he died. Linkin Park was never the same anyway, but Chester's death made it more obvious than it already was.

MegaCrasherMusic The problem is Linkin Park never seemed to be as obsessed with money and fame as Maroon 5 or 30STM. The fact that Chester always took the "sellouts" claim to a personal level is a proof of that. I think the title track " One More Light" proved that there's at least some sort of sincerity to this album. Maybe I'm just biased because I have been a fan most of my life anyway, but I feel like it wasn't a complete cash grab like some people said..

I think you hit the nail on the head with the problem regarding fanbases. While it may not be one of the bigger reasons of the genre's decline, I have first hand experience with it and gatekeeping in general. It wasn't with rock generally but metal in particular. You will not believe the amount of metalheads back in the day(while an annoying minority) who would act like the genre was the end all be all of how music is done and that anything else is derivative garbage. As an electronic and hip hop head just getting into metal, the rabid fans were a genuine turnoff. Thanfully I learnt how to enjoy the genre while ignoring them. Gatekeepers and problematic fandoms are a huge problem whichever the genre. Take oldheads in hip hop constantly going on about how the current gen of rappers is garbage. In regards to EDM, members of the "trance family" were some of the most obnoxious people to interact with online. tl;dr: Gatekeepers and shitty fans are a cancer not to rock alone but also any other genre.

I think the real problem here is the fact that all of the kids of this generation think pop artists are rock artists. I hate most pop music with a burning passion, but I will still admit that bands like Imagine Dragon, who I have been a fan of for 6 years, are pop, not rock. As for bands like panic! at the disco, fall out boy, etc, etc, their problem is that they used to be more in the alt rock category is that even after the whole big transition with their sound and complete change in style of music, teens still consider them to be alternative bands. Just looking at Fall Out Boy's post-haitus albums, they've gone completely mainstream. They were popular before, dont get me wrong, but they really changed their style, not even really considering what their original fans want. Yes, I know an artist should do what they want with their sound, but I think completely changing what youre doing just to provide for the recent crave for loads if pop music is stupid. They should focus on the people who actually want your music, rather than trying to convince the ones who don't care about you or your work to listen to your music. You shouldn't change yourself for other people, and everyone knows that. So it's kind of sad seeing all of these great artists plummet and lose dedicated fans because they want to impress people who probably never liked them anyway.

Haven't watched the video but here's something I've definitely observed in the rock community copiously growing up: I've also noticed this within some new rap music coming out. There seems to be a LOT of gatekeeping within the rock community and I think it's gone on for so long that it's finally ground the genre to a halt. It happened with Linkin Park not being "real metal," Green Day not being "real punk," bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, etc not being "real rock" and all that other bullshit. We've been writing off new rock artists for quite some time and it seems like it's finally caught up to us. Now we can't have anything new and interesting come out without people calling it shit, unoriginal, etc. That's another reason the only "successful" rock bands nowadays are the ones who have had their heyday already, and even then they see a dramatic decline in the charts pretty immediately after new material gets released. I also feel like rock music hasn't caught up in the music streaming game. The charts are dominated with rap music and pop music, because a lot of rock bands, old and new, haven't embraced the new way of marketing. Sure, bands like Metallica and Bon Jovi were able to make it back with those concert bundles, but it's not quite the same. You can see the vast difference when you compare the pure sales to streaming numbers in most bands (Jack White selling 120K/124K pure copies his first week, for example). Rock definitely needs a revolution somehow but I'm not quite sure how it can be saved at this point. There's only so much you can do to keep it viable and interesting.

It's the strangest thing, I feel like there are more people than ever who love rock music now. It's very seldom seen as "devil music" or whatever the fuck these days. Even just 5 years ago I saw people still saying stuff like that still. It's just normal to listen to rock now, while it was socially looked down upon in the past, and yet in this time of acceptance there are NO good mainstream rock bands out. It's fuckin weird. Honestly I think part of the issue is that people stopped taking rock music seriously after emo. It was the last huge subculture and honestly, as much as I love it, I think not everyone can take it seriously and rightfully so. Emo was so different from rock in the past, I think since emo died no one else has known where to go from there. Like really, where else is there to go? There's a bit of an increase in indie rock and even surf/psych type of rock but, alas, there is no new subculture or "thing that is needed" quite yet.

What I think rock bands really need is more natural versatility. Every rock band consists of such a limited instrument palate, consisting of guitars, bass guitars, vocals and drums. Maybe some piano too like on the black parade or boarding house reach. When it comes to instruments, there's so little the genre tends to go off of. Maybe if people with talents other than the main 4 of rock would get into the genre, they could bring new sounds to it and fix up that hatchet a bit. Even the main instruments themselves have many more forms than what's actually used in rock music. Drums come in hundreds of forms at least, yet, we only get that regular rock drumset in a thicc fraction of rock. There's even many forms string instruments to go fuck with, yet, we only get those electric and acoustic guitars, and bass. Now, the one thing rock does have going for it somewhat, is something most genres have: a good array of vocal styles. Even those get limited. However, there are distinct vocalists in bands like patd, fall out boy, mcr, radiohead; you could pick those out of a line most likely, and many many more. Vocal styles like that of Brendon's and Gerard's brought voices well suited for the musical theatre style; not to say that it never existed before. Sometimes, Judas Priest, who are metal, make songs that sound like they could be a villain song in a Disney movie. Then you got toilets taking over in the harder metal.

A big problem with a lot of artists these days is that they're not artists at all - they're just people walking into a studio, following directions and a very specific formula, and pandering to an audience. What comes out of that process is generic crap designed for mass consumption and maximum profit. It's consumed and then promptly disposed of. It's like the McNuggets of music.

It will go flat-out unnoticed by most people because the genre isn't relevant anymore. All the pop and rap addicts will be lucky if they hear an unimpressive Breaking Benjamin or Three Days Grace single. You go to a store or restaurant etc. and they'll have a pop station on.

Tracks like Daze, Lift, Roses, and Carnival of Rust all feel like rock songs, but they’ve all got these insanely catchy melodies and instrumental arrangements. They’re songs that can be appreciated for their mainstream compatibility, but can also be appreciated musically, since they’re not afraid to throw in guitar solos or odd rhythms. I just think we need more bands like that.

I think that the second point, about bands not being able to branch out without alienating fans, is the fault of the fans. There is a big reason why AC/DC made the same album 13 times. And when you go see a band in concert, nobody wants to hear the new songs. They want classics. The fans do not want something new. I'm almost convinced that people don't like music at all, and instead like the memories, thoughts, and ideas that the song inspires to return.

What i would say would help the scene, is to bring the global community together to help push the up and coming and super exciting acts to the top and pushing out the old samey bands u hear on the radio sm.

Modern rock music is healthy and alive. The problem is that the bands that are refered to in your video happen to be the ones that represent today's rock music for some reason, even though they're pretty much garbage and not representative of what's going on in the underground. If you really dig, you'll find what you're looking for. Check out bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, or Peach Pit for example. Right now, the mainstream doesn't talk about this audience, but in the meantime something's building up and I wouldn't be surprise if another band like Nirvana for instance, would come out in a few years, when the fucking trap trend's going to end. The same thing happened in the 90s when people were tired of the 80s hair metal bullshit.

"The same thing happened in the 90s when people were tired of the 80s hair metal bullshit.". So true. I grew up on Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, REM, Counting Crows, etc. I was a teen back then. Even my father would agree with you. He secretly liked the stuff I was listening to because, as he said, the 1990s were a return to real music and real guitars.

It’s really sad with the direction that most of the bands are trying to go with the trend....it’s all synth and effects that is being the main instrument rather than the drums,guitars and bass being the voice of the songs these days.... there’s so many points that I can agree with you,Jon..

The rock band Stone Temple Pilots have subverted a majority of the points you present. If you listen to their 2018 album, it's like an updated No 4, and while the lyrics are a little less psychedelic, they're still written with sincerity, and the DeLeo brothers have never truly changed their sound in the sense that they'll always be Jazz meets Rock meets RnB.

Paramore was actually successful in their sound change. Also, why is it more expensive to pay four members of a band vs. ten writers and producers?

Rock is broad church, from folk rock to new wave, psychedelic rock to grunge, prog rock to heavy metal... There has always been snobbery from some in rock (or at least for the 30+ years that I've been actively listening). Trouble is the fanatics / extremists seem to have become louder than ever about what is "the one true rock" or "the one type music my favourite band should always make". I feel sorry for them, but that sort douche-baggery can potentially drive people away.

Yes is one of the best architects of rock imo... they paved the way for bands like Rush and Tool!!! Speaking of, they should create a super group, and go away from the Yes name while still playing half of their concerts as Yes stuff! My favorite combination would be: Geddy Lee- bass guitar Rick Wakeman- keyboards Steve Howe- guitar Danny Carey- drums Jon Anderson- vocals

A modern rock band I absolutely adore is greta van fleet, they sound a lot like led zeppelin and just have that amazing classic hard rock vibe (they're also really good considering how young they all are)
@TheZooropaBaby

I think thats also a problem, is that people are so drenched in nostalgia and doesn't accept newer and more cutting edge band. also Greta isn't as good as Led Zeppelin, especially their rhythm section is worse compared to Led Zeppelin.

well rock is truly dead if we just embrace nostalgia. sure, LCD Soundsytem already cashed in nostalgia but at least they amalgamate so many bands that they didnt sound like pure nostalgia. if we want to keep this alive, we have to support actually good bands, instead of some comfort food.

TheZooropaBaby Well I don't think that liking the classic hard rock sound is exactly embracing nostalgia. To me and many other young people i know 70s and 80s rock isn't really nostalgic, we just like the sound of it. Sure for some people it's nostalgia for others it's just liking that kind of rock. Also, there are rock bands that go into completely new directions out there. They just need some support and recognition

im a huge fan of all time low (my favorite modern artist), and that includes their old stuff (nothing personal) and my favorite album of theirs (Last young renegade) - I know its more pop and not punk but I think its excellent 80s inspired pop rock with good use of synth, great lyrics, diverse melodies, and good instrumentation when they do use guitar

It think other genres such as Pop are repetitive too. If you put on a top 40 radio station, you're going to here the same formulas over and over. It's very hard to pinpoint why Pop is still, well, pop. It is arguable that rock is very hard to switch up. It's very restricted to certain instruments and it takes a lot of talent to fuse genres. Muse, for example have experimented with other genres such as classical in the Exogenesis Symphony and even Dubstep and electronic in The 2nd law. I enjoy music at most when these genre fusions occur personally. I definitely feel like a well- written chorus is hard to come by in general. We can see that bands such as All Time Low and Muse are being lazy with their songwriting- yes I am referring to the Millennial Whoop. At the moment, I feel like rock is being pushed back and is being peppered into music really well in some cases. For example, the punchy guitar in Childish Gambino's Bonfire. I feel like in the future however, audiences will seek for a less overproduced style and a lot more personality which is why I think rock and its many subgenres will make a return. I for one are very tired of overproduced and crisp sound. Consequently, I am seeking out smaller bands who have more characterful sounding rock music, for example King and Queen of the Losers, who Nate and I enjoy greatly. With more mainstream music, the barrier between fans and artists is too big and can be improved.

The main reasons for me are that rock doesnt have that crowd moving energy such as hip hop has nowadays. Also what hip hop has what rock doesnt is its simplicity to create. There is a very high barrier to entrance to rock while hip hop can be done by kids who just have a good vibe and learn to deliver it to the crowds.

I miss the diversity of music on the radio where I’m working right now they’re constantly playing the same songs over and over again especially around 5 o’clock I’m constantly hearing “Havana” and as much as I love Twenty One Pilots I’m SICK TO DEATH of STRESSED OUT. You would not believe how much of breath of fresh air when I heard Nine In The Afternoon play in the store.
