When are you going to stop pretending rock was a major genre?

When are you going to stop pretending rock was a major genre?

>50 years old and still more varied than all these
Damn

>Folk is the oldest form of music
>everything else is a blip because it hasn't been around as long as folk
>All other forms of music are worthless because they haven't been around as long as folk

It's also the least creative and leasr expansive of all those.

almost all of those genres have developed beyond recognition over that time
except one

If you think rock is more varied than all of these other genres you don't listen to some of these genres enough

which one user?

So jazz was a blip 50 years ago? R&B was a blip in the 1980s?

In over 200 countries utilising every instrument, spearheading every major genre and basically inventing music.

do i really need to say it

Rock is dead, it only lasted 50 years before running out of creativity.

yeah
what are you even talking about

>over that time
yeah, I bet folk music evolved a ton from the year 1300 to 1350

>Electronic music older than rock
¿¿¿¿¿¿¡

Why did you think this post was worth taking a screencap of?

what
have you any idea how long folk music has existed

Folk is everything pre-1900 that wasn't classical. It's not just Bob Dylan white-man-and-acoustic shit.

just saying you're comparing 50 years of rock's evolution to centuries of folk

what's your point, I never said anything against that?

oh i see
well, mass media wasn't exactly a thing was it

Stockhausen, Schaffer, Halim El-Dabh

folk is just rock music but unamplified

i mean...........................think about it

it's been around since the early 1900s

Just pointing out it's not just an age thing, it's the most varied of the list

>Electronische musik
>Musique Concrete
It started with composers who were tired of old instruments somewhere in the 1930s-1940s

tru

that's true but there were electronic instruments before that, things like telharmonium and trautonium etc

How's your first week on Sup Forums going?

All of the other geners in OPs image are dead too

>ss from july

1. Rock has been around since about 1950, which is 66 years. Basic math?
2. Rock hasn't "run out of creativity" considering there are still tons of original, creative rock musicians and there will probably continue to be forever. Just like there are still/will continue to be original, creative folk, classical, jazz, R&B, and electronic artists.

you made a good point though desu
i was mentally comparing it to electronic music over the same time, not that it improved necessarily, maybe a bit in some ways and not others

what?

blues has been around since at least the 20s, which makes it well over 80

Which would be covered by ryhthm & BLUES.

Rhythm and Blues is it's own genre

this. what a pleb

Then so would blues be.

>electronic
>80

>rock music
>50

Yes.
