there is not enough American conflict. We need strife in this country to influence great music. World War III needs to come soon.

It refused to expand and sucked the dick of the classics too much

Dude or possibly lady on the far left looks just like Mike Mills.

It ran its course. New genres broke out from it.

because rock musicians care more about romanticising the past and emulating more than creating something new

Ran out of new ideas in the... 70s, maybe? Just took a couple more decades to realise.

>implying the soundtrack for WWIII isn't gonna be made by Taylor Swift

well, either it's not dead, and it lives on in lots of metal and post-rock acts

-or-

it died because purists constrained the definition of rock music to very specific dimensions that became cliches

True rock never dies \﹏/
