Is there revolution left in rock n roll /mu/?
Rock hasn't been revolutionary for like 40 years. It's the establishment now
rock is dead m8...it's all the same shit nowadays, anyone pushing any boundaries isn't nearly mainstream enough to affect anything
rock died after punk fizzled out in the late 80's

Idk, hip hop/R&B are pretty much all of pop right now.

Chuckled, I wouldnt call them rock n roll but definitely rock influenced
>>61876476

When I saw them last year, I imagined it was probably the same feeling people got when they saw Minor Threat or Bad Brains for the first time. Pure visceral noise, most intense show I've ever been to.

Rock was revolutionary and edgy in 1966 to 71. After that, Corporate America safely neutered and turned it into a moneymaking racket.

The question is rock still alive /mu/?

Not after American Idiot. That was the curtain call of big, mainstream rock.

This was when rock actually meant something. By the time Kiss and REO Speedwagon happened, any notion of rock being scary or rebellious was over.
There are some people out there doing interesting stuff but it's just too easy to make generic radio music and get easy money.

Quoth Xgau: "I've listened to this record a bunch of times, but try as I might, I can't make contact. I want to laugh every time Grace lilts out the phrase 'Up against the wall, motherfuckers!' (a slightly overused phrase by this point anyway) and I don't find the instrumental cuts very inspired either. It's hardly a bad album though and everyone seems to dig it a lot, but they could be wrong. B"

Nigger, if you think a band signed to big corporate RCA was actually going to overthrow The Man and start a revolution...

Airplane were never that good anyway and their music has aged a lot worse than the Britrock of the 60s-70s. I'm glad that Grace Slick realized it too and retired from music.

"I don't think rock stars should be over the age of 50. Rock and hip-hop are great ways for kids to get that anger out."
Welp...
>tacitly admitting that your music the whole time was just stress release for suicidal angsty 15 year olds and that revolution stuff was just for yucks
