Rock music is in a global crisis. People are growing up in this age while never experiences the glory of great rock music. No bands have come to take the throne from the greats of yesteryear. How do we save rock music?

Get the strokes to make is this it part 2

There's plenty around it's just that no one cares about rock now. Why? I really don't know, it's a fairly bland genre that can't be explored any more if you're just talking about basic hard rock that is.

That exists already, it's called Room On Fire.

Awol, go to bed.
There's nothing left to do. It's all been done. Look at the few great bands that are still around and tell me their latest albums aren't wildly unimaginative. Leave it in the past so it can be romanticized for the rest of the century, maybe there will be a revival some time down the line but this kind of redemption can't happen if bands keep trying to cling to it and release whatever tripe they can come up with.

Well we're fucked then

Suck my
dick

I don't wanna live in a world where rock bands are only playing in front of 10 people and they're forced to disband because they can't get any gigs.
FYI metal and punk are rock subgenres.

Part 3 2016?
people who think rock is dead are only looking at the top forty charts. There are dozens of metal, indie, and punk scenes blowing up right now if you bother to look for them
rock isn't dead, it's just rock isn't at the top of everything right now, which has to be expected considering it's been the dominant genre for half a century

It's not dead but it's tried and boring.
>>61336876
More concerning is that the youth have not managed to create anything compelling enough to replace it.

>People are growing up in this age while never experiences the glory of great rock music
Every rock music ever made is easily accessible by way of Internet.
People are growing up in an age where they can literally listen to whatever they want, whenever they want,
people can now not only listen to G'n'R whenever they want, they can also listen to hundreds of their live shows, and their unreleased demos whenever they want.
People experience more rock now than people did when rock was topping the charts.

Have young aspiring rock musicians listen to the blues.

What if young aspiring rock musicians listen to jazz?
>>61337989
If they manage to do that, they'd pretty much confirm my AOTY 2016 with that.

>Why can't people just making the same shit over and over again forever?
Do you really want this? You realise the purpose of music in the world isn't just duplicate the sound that YOU happen to like over and over again until everyone fucking kills themselves from how sad and contrived it is. There are literally enough great rock records that have been made that you can and always will be able to access to keep you busy for the rest of your life if you want. There really is. So don't fucking pine for the state of music to just be some eternally repeating loop of one particular genre, and don't cry because a style that was once popular isn't any more. You can still listen to Appetite For Destruction to your hearts content. It's a great record. But you know what? So is the new Tame Impala record. So is the new Unknown Mortal Orchestra record. So are lots of new records from bands that don't have guitars or much rock influence as well. It's fine dude. Be excited about all the cool new shit that's going on while still loving the classics.

You sound like my bitch ass fucking professor who I had a huge argument with. And the worst part is she wasn't being ironic about it
>people think rock music is dead
>don't even look at low-brow festival circuits
>>61340854
I dunno. I'm not sure if rock music really needs more pentatonic scales and vibratos right now. I'd like to see more focus on creating rich melodies with a dank atmosphere.
Rock became popular as an argument, as a statement against the straight edge music that was popular before its time. As rock and roll evolved, the more it was used as a way to say "Fuck You" to societal standards, to older ideals where hedonism and sex were not allowed. As time went by, more music was created, while rock became more mainstream. Now that the generations that repressed rock have gone and those who lived through rock's glory days are getting older, it has become less about the great Sex, Drugs, Rock N' Roll, and more about nostalgia. By /mu/'s standards, rock should be seen as edgy and contrarian. It should be seen as tryharding. While yes, rock has produced great music, it does not need to be saved. Rock will live on, but it will not be what it once was. The same can be said for all types of music. The popularity of musical styles is tied to the evolution of the cultural zeitgeist, and because it has changed in this way, it will fade. But it will not die, and in fact I predict it will make a resurgence as more legislation regarding the suppression of privacy passes in the US. However, it will not be saved for good.

Make your own rock music. Simple as that. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
Metal has replaced rock
