I just happened to being lying in bed this morning reminiscing about a conversation I had with a friend a few months back. I remember that everytime I went to go chill at his place I noticed he had very dubious taste in music in my opinion. It was mostly Rap and some R&B, stuff I generally don't fancy myself listening to.
I noticed this and we got into a debate that Rock music along with most genres related to it have slowly died and faded within the last decade.You might have heard all the claims before that Rock is dead there's nothing left that rock can do...so and and so forth. I even heard artists cover the topic in many songs. So in part I found myself agree with it a bit. The radio these days are dominated by all the hip-hop artists and pop musicians. With all the lady Gagas, Katy Perys, Justin beibers, Rhinanna's. I find it very difficult to enjoy anything found on the radio. If any rock band is getting air time I find its usually the ones who are the most radio friendly( the ones to mainstream for my taste)
For my particular taste I found myself looking harder and harder to find music to satisfy my needs(I'm very picky you see)I Often end up leaning towards the lesser known bands that haven't really broken out yet. Usually it doesn't last though as they only manage to release 1 or 2 albums before having to break up because of the lack of any real success. Its much harder for good bands to break free and manage any real success and get decent air time. That seems to be a thing of the past. These days if you have good,decent or above average singing skills or you favor singing about love/sex/partying/living in a teenage dream..then your all over the fucking radio. Guys, I can only listen to so many love songs. Its like this in my region but it might differ what gets radio time where your located, but here its beyond ridiculous.
Others however say Rock music is making a comeback. Others say its all but history. I think its just struggling. The music scene just ain't what it was a decade or two ago and times change. Who knows what will be on the radio in 2020. For the most part Rock is alive and thriving. You just need to look in the right places that's all.
That's my little piece. What do you guys think? Its evident that when to scroll through the music section and look at some of the posts. I observe that a lot of you like your rock/metal so I can imagine that most will disagree. But Its debatable and I want to hear what you guys have to say on the subject. So lets discuss.
