White people: copies a music genre invented by black people. black people abandon the genre to create new sounds and innovate other genres.
White people: proceed to run rock and roll into the ground by warping it into this angry mosh metal emo sound that is not musical in the least. blames black people for ruining it.

Rock music started dying during the Bush 43 era because they couldn't innovate.

Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park (RIP Chester Bennington) were all huge in their time, but they're stale AF in this era. It'd be like all hip-hop still sounding like GRODT-era 50 Cent.

The only 'rock' music that can hit these days usually has some hip-hop or EDM influences, like Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5 or Panic at the Disco.

True, but we did have a small rock revival this summer in Europe (greatly due to an Italian band, believe it or not):

Måneskin make history with two entries in singles Top 10
The band are one of a handful of acts bringing a healthy dose of rock-influenced sounds back the Official Chart, including current Number 1 Good 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo, and Willow Smith's Transparent Soul, which features Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

This year they were #1 in Germany and like half of Europe...
Their energy is crazy, like this one didn't even get to the charts, probably because of the Italian:


Not sure if they could succeed in the US though, maybe they're too sexually ambiguous for your market lol

So stupid. Setting aside that rock music was stolen from black people to begin with, The notion that rock was about white angst is bullshyt. Sure, there's been angsty white rock music, but there's been tons of sub-genres within rock, and ironically most of them are left-leaning and far from anything these guys would support or probably want to listen to.

You know what? :jbhmm: these same motherfukkers would have been blaming rock music for the ills of society 50-60 years ago, and they damn sure don't give a fukk about rock music in any meaningful way.

They're only talking about rock music as a way to shyt on Obama. It's so transparent. These a$$hole conservatives like Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles only care about shyt when they can be reactionaries and attack other groups or throw blame around. These guys have no actual care about the purity or sanctity of rock music or whatever.
