rock will never be mainstream again

Rock is mainstream

your average person couldn't name a rock band that debuted in the last 10 years.

The Arctic Monk-
>It's 2017
Jesus Christ

Normies still listen to plenty of shit like The Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys though

this. how would you have felt about swing music in the 50s/60s? you'd remember the good days but realize they'll never return. it's just the logical progression of things.

right, but both of those bands debuted over 10 years ago.

I feel like rock won't disappear as much as swing music has since it is so intertwined with youth culture. Perhaps after all the boomers die out will rock start declining more than it is already.

if you want to count them as rock Fun formed in 2008

swing music was youth culture bro. it was seen as extremely degenerate when it came about, like all music that the kids are listening to at the time.
