true - I went to Riot Fest last year and it was way overpriced. I'm old and rich, so "it caters to me!" However, I feel bad for the youth that might not have the same resources as myself like when I was that age. Riot Fest truly is a Rolling Stones concert for old rich people as a fest in my eyes...this is not the Warped Tour I went to as a youth to have fun for cheap. I understand older bands have bills and house payments and all that now, but the marketing is "this is a fun event for the youth" instead of "these bands are in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s and they have medical bills and house payments and stuff so the event is priced and produced accordingly. Remember everyone to social distance! Moshing is forbidden."

I guess the hardest thing for a lot of people to wrap their head around is the difference between "music as art" vs. "music as fashion". Pissing off parents is just "music as fashion". Even when Marilyn Manson was making parents mad, a lot of kids were still listening to Jimi Hendrix even though those songs were recorded 30 years prior. Good music will always be good music. "Shocking music" will only sometimes be good music. Calling it "Dad Rock" as a way of calling it old is just silly.

no one is saying it's old, they're saying that the people who shepherded that music into popularity and still listen to it are the ones who are old. young people, as a whole, do not seek to popularize what old people listen to, they seek what is current and being commercially marketed toward them. they popularize what is fresh and current, what their friends are listening to. it was never about what's old, it's about the perpetual generational cycle of music evolution.

Honestly I think it’s less so the lack of new acts pissing people off, and more so the death of subculture with the rise of the internet.

@camiblack16 ай бұрын
I'd say the death of subculture kinda hit when the Hipsters came around, where just imitating counter-culture became sort of counter culture (in a counter cultureception kind of way). There really isn't that youth culture thing going on (especially in rock) that feels different, like yeah Bad Omens and Sleep Token are a breath of fresh air, but frankly Sleep Token just feels like they'd fit in in that whole Scene era, and Bad Omens in kinda the same way, there's not really anything alt in rock anymore.

Let's be real black culture and music is the mainstream for all youth at this point. Being 13 in 08 their was a bit of a divide. After the scene era rock kinda died punk is only relevant if you live in certain metros. Rap took over that edgy punk rock experience for the youth. I say that as a juice peep and fan of the south Florida movement. The gangster rap movement just fills everything the youth finds cool and deals with. Growing up in the scene era I didn't face the same kind of shit as all the fake bars and fetty pills flowing free.

@ShinerCCC5 ай бұрын
The death of rock is economic. You need to be rich enough to afford an instrument, enough leisure time to learn it, and access to a rehearsal space (house in the suburbs where you might be able to jam until 9 PM without a noise complaint, or expensive studio time). And then multiply this by 3 or more to have enough members for what is considered rock. Kids these days can't even afford avocado toast. Hence we have Soundcloud rappers and people making beats with headphones on instead. Making music in realtime with instruments may become a lost art.

At least that's what it seems like. No one told the lo-fi, funk and indie musicians who reinvented the sound for today's listeners that their music is for dads.

So it's a very interesting time, it's a bit of a catch 22 in some cases, at least for myself as an artist. During the time when I got back in the music after taking a 5-year break, I came back full swing, and as a solo artist under the name I have now ColSeth, who mainly does Alternative Rock/Metal/Grunge/Shoegaze it was both perfect timing (I thought) but also a losing battle. Like I make stuff that would have been perfect, and heck who knows if it had the ears hear it or where it could have gone, but that's neither here nor there. Point is, while we're living in a time where all of that sound is resurging it's all the more difficult, because I'm competing against Legendary icon bands who are blowing up again. So it's like trying to compete with Deftones or Slipknot or something, idc who you are I'm losing that battle 100% of the time, and rightfully so, as I should. They've cemented themselves in the history of Rock forever, but my question is how do I? I've poured more blood, sweat, and tears, passion and my everything into my music especially these last 2 years. Got picked up by a PR team, Mayhem Music Company, have multiple reviews about my album "The Elusive More" from many different Music publications, all very positive and well written. Spent so much time and energy, and money into building a following on all platforms, and in other artists music who are trying, having the opportunity to collaborate with countless fantastic artists, toured and played many shows with bands like Modern Baseball, Title Fight, Tigers Jaw, Glocca Morra just to name a few, and plenty of other accomplishments along the way ect... I don't really care about all of that as a means to my point, but did all the things (at least to the best of my ability) and nothing has come of it really in the end. So where do new artists, or other artists that make great music go to find opportunity, other than the current way which essentially feels like a waiting game of hoping you get blessed by an algorithm, and maybe go viral for a very short lived moment? Not having these types of events or festivals definitely hurts those changes for sure...

The way I see it, honestly, is "Who gives a shit?" Unless you're still in high school (literally or metaphorically), why should it matter what's popular and what isn't? As someone in a metal band, my only concern is making sounds that touch people and lyrics that speak to them. Whether or not our sound is "groundbreaking" or "innovative" is not really of any concern to me, nor is changing the world or shocking grandmas to the point of a heart attack. All that matters to me is, as mentioned, making music and writing lyrics that people love. That's not to say we don't experiment with our sound, because we absolutely do (imo that's the best part of creating your own music) but I wouldn't say our main concern is creating something so unique only 4 people in the world "get" it. Mainstream success isn't even in our minds at this moment. We know and accept the state of rock and metal today, and as dudes who went to high school in the mid to late '10s, we know what a majority of kids are into, and it's not gonna be us. But that doesn't matter. Stick to your guns, be real, be authentic, and you will attract the right crowd, small or not.

Personally, when warped tour called it quits, the nostalgia acts were the only thing to really pull massive crowds. We don’t have any festivals based on trying to push up and comers because “they aren’t profitable or worth the time”. Bands don’t really blow up anymore, they all have long careers and already built up a good audience before they “blew up over night”. And if we want to shock people and be counter culture in this day and age, you have to be Tom Macdonald and push those narratives.
@nonamelegend_vapor6 ай бұрын
This really made me think. Maybe our current musical landscape is a byproduct of the counterculture, by and large, winning the culture war (or at least having the upper hand). It feels similar to Constantine's Christianization of Rome in terms of "what was once edgy, taboo, tread upon, and/or unsafe is now, while still opposed by some, actively endorsed by the establishment" When what was once considered rebellious becomes safe, it loses its traction with naturally rebellious youth. It can't thrive on being persecuted anymore (which is probably why Tom MacDonald's "countercultural" approach resonates with his fans). This leaves teens who want to "rebel" go either a) the neocon Tom MacDonald route or b) go hard left and find increasingly more niche and defiant political or social subgroups to identify with and fight for acceptance of. Rock moved the establishment more to the center (from the right), and we're seeing the ramifications (not that they're necessarily good or bad on the whole)

I can get behind that. Nobody really wants a dad bod though, it simply happens by itself because of either being lazy or working like a dog. If you have the energy to go to the gym (or work out at home) then you may as well put that energy into making money. The exception is people that don't have to work for a living. No idea what the appeal is of having kids. It's inevitably a big expensive disappointment. Most people will not have three PhDs and a 12,000 square foot mansion, but ESPECIALLY not people who are so simple minded that they think having kids is the ultimate life achievement.

I think culture is too fractured due to easy media accessibility to have a new mainstream music. Part of the reason there was "alternative" music was that there wasn't so many ways to get your stuff out to your audience, just a few radio stations and record stores. I think you can become rich and "famous" with music without the mass audience knowing who you are Take Tom McDonald for example. As shocking and polarizing as he can be to some people, he has made a boatload of "top billboard singles" and money, while being virtually unknown to the average radio/ mainstream listener. This kind of success was unthinkable 20+ years ago.

Something to consider is the recent trend of “genre blends” like you Lil Peep was mentioned. From what I’ve seen this has been becoming more popular (which to me shows the tremendous influence of rock). You have Hardy over in the country scene making waves with his rock influence on The Mocking Bird & The Crow. You also have EDM artists who are incorporating rock into their music. I love what Sullivan King and Excision are doing and just yesterday Marshmello and SVDDEN DEATH released a collab EP that blends EDM and rock and even collab with rock artists such as Crown the Empire.

I want to be and/or see a new generation of heavy rockers that will change the world with music more than anything. It's a shame it is the way it is right now.

It isn't dad rock unless it was dad rock when it came out. Music that was marketed to and popular with young people in its day doesn't count as dad rock, no matter how many nostalgic dads still listen to it. That isn't how genres work. There's a little more to it than just the passage of time and taking the name literally. True dad rock has to be music that was dad rock the whole time. Steely Dan, Phil Collins, REM, or these days stuff like The War On Drugs. You can find dads who listen to the Black Eyed Peas, they're never going to be dad rock.

If Korn and Slipknot are "Dad Rock" now then I guess Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones must have moved on to "Grandpa Rock" as a lot of dads today listened to the latter through their dads.

About the lack of fresh trends and directions: We're perhaps biased to think in terms of the 20th century, during which culture kept transforming extremely quickly, every decade being different from the previous one. But if you look at the history of humanity, such rapid transformations are actually pretty rare (they were obviously fueled by the incredible technological progress). Cultures had always been evolving and changing, but those changes often took decades to manifest, sometimes even centuries. So maybe what we're seeing is just things slowing down again. Perhaps the next major shift doesn't come in the next 10 years, but 30 years...

I'm surprised that no mention is made of the changes in the music industry, along with the listening habits moving from radio/MTV to streaming. That's the biggest change. Today you have to work hard to find the good stuff, but it's there. I'm 65 and still performing original rock/metal/fusion. I was never influenced by the "culture" surrounding particular music genres, or by trying to piss my parents off with the music I listened to. I actually disliked the bands that used shock and spectacle as a replacement for good songwriting. I was listening to Beatles before I went to kindergarten, then classical music, then Hendrix and Mountain. In the 70's Mahavishnu, Return to Forever, and Zappa. New Wave and Stevie ray in the 80s. In the '00s Mastodon and Children of Bodom. Today I won't pass up a chance to see a good jam band or Cannibal Corpse. I never cared about a breakthrough "style" or genre; I just wanted tohear great musicians doing something original. And it hasn't all been done yet. Pop musicians just stopped trying to be original because record labels didn't want original. Thank God record labels will soon be as dead as dinosaurs.

The first time i saw IDW was the most fights in a single set ive ever seen, there was a new fist fight for almost every song. i think kids were getting kicked out every five minutes. this was like back in 2012 when IDW were at their peak, and all i remember is when another fight happened Jamie Hanks was like "I WANT MORE I WANT MORE VIOLENCE", i think the fact that the venue was small didnt help to stop that aggression either since everyone was barely elbow room next to each other the entire time
