Rock music has been on a slow decline since Kurt died. Not because his music was so damn good, but because he was the last true rock star. Rock needs a rock star in order to be mainstream, and to inspire people to start bands. He was the last, and that was over 20 years ago. Rock is at an all time low in terms of mainstream popularity, innovation, and simply good music. A coincidence? I think not.

Stopped reading after "died". KYS.

Marylin Manson was a Rockstar in the classic sense.
You are wrong.

>last true rockstar
he was a grimy self-pitying heroin-shooting spitting pseudo-deep retard
lemmy was the last true rockstar

fair enough. he's probably the only exception i can think of.

Jack White is arguably the last relevant mainstream rock musician too. Not a rockstar in the classic or Marylin Manson sense though.

>in order to be mainstream
serious question - why do you want it to be mainstream?

Scott Stapp was too.
And you can't use "but he sucks" to argue, it makes no difference.

...

literally never heard of him. looked him up and he's in the band creed.

not a rockstar.

>Rock needs a rock star in order to be mainstream, and to inspire people to start bands.
Who cares. I love most things labeled as rock but nothing lasts forever.

more music and better music is made when its mainstream.

Trump is a rockstar.

but even now I can find enough good rock music to listen
but being mainstream also means that there will be a lot of shitty bands just for making money instead of music

Rock in the mainstream died in 1995 after Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
There was a short garage rock revival in the early 2000s but wasn't anywhere near the same magnitude as it once was

trump sucks

>thread about musicians daughters 404ed

Really, janitor?

'Adolf Hitler was the first rock star'

- David Bowie

>Not a rockstar in the classic

what is that?

They were literally the biggest rock band on earth for a couple of years.
And Scott was the typical dudebro celebrity

creed was the biggest artist in the world at one point youngfag

"David Bowie was the leader of the 4th Reich"

- Adolf "Literally Trump" Hitler

stfu about creed
nobody likes buttrock
there's still plenty of rockstars alive
it's waning in popularity because record companies and radio stations started getting bought out by giants corporations who don't push rock music. If you think there isn't any good rock music or innovation you aren't trying to find any. It's out there. 1/8 awful b8 m8 but you made me respond so +1

When rock became the prominent genre in the 60s do you think big band fans cried this much they're favourite music was obsolete?

Rocks finished, move on already.

Drug/alcohol binges, a lot of fucking, and general debauchery.

they were big, but not even top 5 at their peak.

and like i said before, i've never heard his name. therefore he can't be a rock star.

Mod showed up and deleted that Virgin Killer thread, and for some reason decided oh hey that thread about musicians daughters should go as well.

Chad Kroger

He's not anymore.
But 99-01 you would have known his name.
The only other band at that time that were on the same level was Limp Bizkit.
>but not even top 5 at their peak
Name another rock band from that time wit a Diamond status album

Gay.

Think, if only some retard didn't post the thread about VK and summoned le unpaid doggy here.

Maybe Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit

Anyways yes Scott Stapp was the definition of a "rock star" in the worst way imaginable

>they were big, but not even top 5 at their peak.
you have no clue what you're talking about young one

I really wish we had good dedicated mods and jannies who knew shit about the boards they occasionally monitor instead of just shitposting on Sup Forums. But what do you expect when they do it for free.

>last true rock star
>will toledo exists

How it's like im reading the youtube comments lmao

>reading youtube comments

This douchebag is the antithesis to rockstar.

Jack White was Reddit before Reddit even existed.

Jack White is about to marry Serena Williams

A bunch of bands getting inspired by the rockstar of the moment doesn't mean they will produce anything as good as that rockstar.

And Nirvana is proof of that.

The youth is too apathetic for guitar-driven catharsis.

Plus, synths replaced the electric guitar as the most versatile instruments.

Nirvana ultimately killed Rock and Roll faggot. Get a grip.

How is Dave Grohl not a rockstar?

He died because he was gay

stfu he rocks a pair of leather pants like no ones business

fucking STUD
