Rock and Roll used to be cool, it used to be rebellious, heck Rock and Roll even effected political change....
Now it seems trivialized as a party game. People singing lyric's that may have serious meaning to the writer and fans, are now being sung and trivialized at Rock and Roll Band parties, by people playing plastic toys...
What do you think? Is this the last gasp for Rock and Roll...
In order for a new cool to happen with teens, do they have to kill they old cool of Rock and Roll....

the problem is rock and roll is just like any type of music, rebellion is gotten used to, so now rock is this fun thing to listen to with less meaning then before, but something else needs to come in and take its place... whether it be a different variation of rock, different type or music, or even something completely different (hint hint, satire video games, hint).

Agreed, very cool.... Once the music, is turned into something that can be played on plastic toy guitars and plastic fake drums it's not cool.. IMHO Now that cool music is a party game for 10 year old's, thats served with cake and ice cream... Uncool..... Ken

eh,i like them sorta, but i either prefer something like led zepplin or the rolling stones (older rock), or I prefer 90's grunge or alternative nirvana, alice in chains - eve 6, third eye blind etc or punk rock and some newer metal such as avenged sevenfold, mindless self indulgence, mcr, etc.
thats the rock types i like, but i do like mellow music as well but ill leave that to a different thread.
guns'n'roses just gets to me, axel rose imo has a really whiny and annoying voice that just... gah it grates my soul in a bad way. I do like slash tho :P but who couldnt.

Nardalus I definitly agree with you but this is a natural evolution The beginning , the 50' : original but rough music The golden years ,the 60' : original and sophisticated music The decadence from the 70': sophisticated but plastic music Afterwards : noise ( well I am an old guy ) Let's go to jazz, now Dixiland : exciting but childish music Charlie Parker and the others : the top Free jazz : no comment Same consideration for classic music
