i remember when i was in high school only 10 years ago, pretty much every guy tried learning guitar at some point

my little brother is currently a high school senior and tells me he knows of maybe 2 people who play it and apparently they get teased for it >_>

Yeah, it can be confusing since its last few years of mainstream relevance were pretty high, depending on who you hung out with as a teen. But that all changed up pretty quick.

There were plans to revive Warped again this year but obviously that didn't pan out. I wouldn't say Warped was a good representation of 'rock' at any point of its existence tho.

this is what society gets for shaming emo out of the mainstream like it wasn't the last prominent subgenre to make significant waves

Really? I feel like there's still superstardom out there. Granted you either have to sound like Kevin Parker, Ty Segall, or Mac Demarco

Emo was garbage and deserved all the hate that it got

it was and is an endearing and underrated genre

Problem is all the mainstream rock radio listeners want is the same shit bands that were popular 20 years ago

theres so much amazing rock music out there being made today and all the radio plays is Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Seether, etc

Machine Gun Kelly released a Pop Punk album that went number one but many rock fans will tell you that its not real rock and doesnt count. JXDN started making music less than a year ago, has yet to release a debut album, and has plenty of videos on YouTube with millions of views, but again rock fans will tell you that it doesnt count. Rock fans just want the same old stinky bands to stay commercially relevant, then get mad when the same old stinky bands stay commercially relevant. Then find something to get mad about when a new artist doing anything with a guitar comes out. You just cant win.

A lot of newer hip hop artists are incorporating a lot of rock/emo elements into their music.

This is the last rock song I can recall being popular and it wasnt really rock but watered down reggae rock. Catchy song though

Underground rock and metal right now absolutely destroy anything the mainstream is pumping out.
