Is rock dead and/or dying?

It has been a long time since rock has had anything truly groundbreaking occur. Solid rock bands are few and far between. So talk about rock bands since the mid-nineties that are keeping the rock in rock these days.

I don't think any genre dies.

I think people just remember the amazing bands that came out of the 90s and assume that they all released albums every year, every day. It obviously goes in cycles.

You always discover new music, or older music that comes from a time when you thought a certain kind of music was dead.

I'm talking about modern music not really making a lot of progress in rock anymore. Of course classic rock is still rocking, it's my favourite thing to listen to.

You have you really enjoyed that started after the Britpop wave? All I've really been finding is the industry over-saturated with mediocre indie bands. Muse and Morning Jacket are all that really come to mind for me. And the latter is not that great.

Never is what I say. Likewise GNR is a hold over from an older era. I'm talking about new sprouting bands.

That is actually very decent for a high school band. If they continue to improve they could well end with a record deal.

Tell the drummer he's got to get a bit heavier and be a little more creative with his hands. His bass drum isn't thick enough for my tastes, but that could just be the recording. All around very good for a first recording.

I've enjoyed a great many rock albums this year.

It's not dead, maybe just changing in a way you dislike.

Like?

Also, I forgot about Spiritual Beggars. They are one of my favourite bands. One of the few new ones I like. Audioslave was pretty good, White Stripes are okay. Most of that garage rock revival stuff is pretty much generic garbage though.

The White Stripes are a pretty multi-faceted band. I don't think you can lump them in with anybody, i.e. "Garage rock revival garbage".

I've listened to plenty great rock albums this year....
Rush - Snake and Arrows, Tomahawk - Anonymous, QOTSA - Era Vulgaris, Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Black Planet, and The Whitestripes - Icky Thump to name a few.

You have different taste to me, so obviously we'll enjoy different albums.

I don't think it's dying, but just changing. I don't really enjoy the direction its been taking, but soon we'll hopefully have some better stuff, more original stuff popping in soon.
