Mainstream rock might be a little sickly looking at the moment but rock in the underground scene is thriving, especially in the doom, stoner rock and heavy psych scenes. These days you just need to do a little extra digging to find gems.
Like everything, the popularity of rock will ebb and flow, dip and rise. Right now tho, it’s at an all time low. Underground bands are holding the flame right now. Plenty of great acts out there, ya just have to search for them.
Long Live Rock! Be it dead or Alive. As long as R&R recorded music is available for new generations to.discover and talented young musicians wail on with 3 power chords, Rock n Roll will never die. I'm 62 soon and Im.still rocking!
Rock lives and will continue to live. Radio is not the decider. Radio sucks. Artists are producing themselves. The crap they are doing on radio is not what my kids listen to. Rock will never die.
Thank heavens for the Rolling Stones and their latest album. At least that is a litmus test to what rock is. I like to feel something on the back of my neck with good rock. That's because I don't have hair
Rock is indeed dead in the mainstream. I remember in the late '80s and early '90s we all realized that it was getting harder and harder to do something new in rock, and like it or not, gangster rap provided that "freshness." It just got harder and harder to reinvent rock 'n' roll, and to do something new. When the last wave of rock hit, and it was just The Strokes, Ryan Adams, and Greta Van Fleet simply copying Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan, I knew it was over.
Depending on our own opinion on what Rock means.. Graveyard.. Vintage inspired for sure... But good... 2nd album from Sword.. Elders... Punk and Roll... Moral Panic.. Hex Dispenser.. Murder City Devils..
The guitar/bass/drums thing is over. It's just "Dad Rock" for old farts like me. It's now just an extreme niche audience attraction like Jazz or Blues music.

We hardly even hear rock music anymore. Now you have to go to the outskirts of the internet to hear it.

Not dead perhaps, but there is certainly an identity crisis when it comes to Rock.
80s rock was not called hair metal until 1997 it was knowin as party rock in the 80s
We called it "hair metal" in the '80s.
