When did the Age of Rock end?
2007
You tell me.

is that the dad from Medium
The second summer of love starting in '88 was the most important era in modern European music culture as it took the American based house and techno and fused it with European attitudes, prowess and compositional excellence to forefront the run of the music that followed on through the rave era, the 90s progression of techno, house, and of course breakbeat hardcore, jungle and all the genres and fusions that followed
Dance music of the 1990s largely rejected the simple, jovial, hedonistic approach to body movement that had ruled since James Brown invented funk music in the 1960s. Disco, techno and house had simply imported new technologies (both for rhythm and arrangements) into the paradigm of funk. The 1990s continued that process, one of the most important ideas to come out of Britain was jungle or drum & bass, a syncopated, polyrhythmic and frantic variant of house, a fusion of hip-hop and techno that relied on extremely fast drum-machines, epileptic breakbeats and huge bass lines.
Few genres of popular music underwent so many changes and reached such ambitious heights as jungle did. Within a few years, jungle musicians were already composing abstract and ambient pieces, integrating breakbeats with pop vocals, adopting jazz improvisation Thanks to ever more intricate beats and to free structures borrowed from jazz, jungle music rapidly became the foundation for a new kind of avantgarde music, pursued by the most austere of the genre's visionaries
It both cemented the death of and proved without doubt that outside of America, the dark ages of rock were dead and merely a passing fad and the progression of funk, soul and rhythm and blues, and via proxy, the music of Jamaica and the influence of hip hop on dance music and indeed hip hop itself showed that electronic music was the natural progression and the rock of the 60s and 70s was a waste of time and a step backwards in music progression.

Ah yes, the selective choosing of abysmal lyrics of a "fun" rock song and seemingly philosophical hip hop ones to support your argument. I can do that too!
when hip-hop became a thing.

Rock died the moment retards started calling anyone making money to feed themselves from a band sellouts.

this desu
>>63607956
The writer very wisely replicates the tongue of the oppressed youth.
>>63607926
I love how instead of picking any other hip hop song to prove his point, the guy just cuts out the silly 30 Rock lyric from that verse
>>63608070
The 30 rock line is clever though.
>>63607963
The joke is that everyone places rock on a pedestal for 'great music' as if it has no flaws then takes the worst of another genre to compare to the more well known rock songs. As if the shit tier rock songs never existed.
>>63607941
The lyrics aren't even that much better.

>implying that kanyes lyrics make any more sense than bicycle
Hard to tell, it's been dying slowly and progressively.
Radiohead abandoning the genre with Kid A in 2000 was one sign among others that rock was becoming a spent force; when more and more popular indie bands in the 00s incorporated post-rock, electronic, pop, folk... elements into their sound, it was a bad sign too: rock needed more and more "grafts" from other genres to be kept alive. Now we mostly have revival bands, and the most famous musicians come from hip hop, pop and EDM. It's pretty clear that rock is over.
So I'd say it died somewhere in the mid-00s.

This starts convincing enough, then gets weirder and weirder until it reads like total bullshit. Drum'n'bass is avant-garde? Drum'n'bass killed rock? Rock was just a "passing fad"? "The most austere of the genre's visionaries"? What the hell.

>people in this thread actually trying to discredit Ye
lol. He has single-handedly changed the sound and culture of the most popular genre in the world for over a decade now.
The way hip-hop producers sample, the isntrumentation, the slang, the outfits, a very good percentage of the entire style comes from Yeezus himself.
>"See I invented Kanye, it wasn't any Kanye's, and I look-and look around and it's so many Kanye's"
You know how it's seen as okay for black people to wear skinny jeans?
That's because of Kanye.
Remember shutter shades?
Kanye.
You know how 90% of modern hip-hop is mostly focused on the production now, instead of just dope lyrics?
Kanye.
No matter if you like the music or the fashion trends or anything else, don't act like Ye isn't one of the most influential people in modern music history.
