How do you figure Rock will die out?

I meant by mainstream wise which does not mean much but still Rock is not relevant anymore

I don't agree with that at all.

Rock has much more artist . anything KISS releases would go plat because of their fanbase

[Bay 2,003]

Metal may not be what it once was, but it will always exist. There's been some good stuff in both rock and metal that requires digging.

However you wanna look at the statistics. Rock is far from irrelevant.

In the media it is , but it has a good fanbase while rap has many " fairweather " fans

The Media is the big thing , youtube views and shit

Obviously it doesn't reflect in record sales which is easily the most measurable and clearly shows rock is far from irrelevant.

I personally prefer Rap just me

[Dutch 874]

Awesome thread Versace. Definitely appreciate it especially because I'm currently rebuilding my music archive since my previous one crashed. I can't get into music anymore nowadays especially growing up in the 90s which was the golden age for hip hop. Way less lyrical substance now and more about chorus and beats. Also auto tune and techno vibes that I just can't get with. It seems artist are more focused on making their hits club bangers and the overall content/state of music is poor in my opinion.

I can appreciate a nice club banger but nothing too hard . Hip hop is in it's better state , I personally never liked rappers like Immortal Technique because their music is just boring and no way / shape that guy will save hip hop / . Hip Hop is in it's best state since 03 IMO . I think people get this whole vibe that hip hop is dead which is not true guys like KENDRICK , Drake , Cole are all dope to mee hip hop was only dead for a short 3 years ( 06-09 ) . People need to stop living in the past . One thing I noticed is people keep defending Eminem saying he is save hip hop when his music right now is cringe worthy I mean did you hear " Berzerk " that 2nd verse was straight

being as big of a fan of classic hiphop as I am, I have a hard time enjoying all but a handful of modern guys.

Rock & Roll will never die, and I'm a 90s hip hop head.

 

Anyways, Grand Puba was dope: https://www.youtube.com/&v=ej4tlSRh7Qk#t=11

 

Also, I <3 mix tapes,.

 

My favorite DJ is arguably DJ Jazzy Jeff. People laugh at that because he's mostly known as Will Smith's sidekick on "Fresh Prince of Bell Air", but he's a pioneer in the hip hop game.

 

Youtube "DJ Jazzy Jeff Hip Hop Forever" if you want to hear the hotness. His mix CDs are fucking epic.
