Not pulling a "Le born in the wrong generation" bullshit but why hasn't there been anything innovative for Rock music that much ever since the 2000s? It's been 7 years into this decade and I've not stumbled upon anything that is really unique at all. There are alot of good sounding rock bands don't get me wrong but they aren't necessarily spewing new shit.
Maybe i'm a retard who only likes old music. idk.
Rock music is no longer an avant-garde popular form. You won't be hearing anything innovative from it again, it doesn't even rip off current stuff any more, it rips off stuff earlier rock has already ripped off. Rock listeners seem unable to listen to any black artists under forty. They still think hip-hop is all scratching and wikki wikki wa wa West. Anything new is electronic now, much of it black.
I feel like rock is going through a period of consolidation. I am starting to see a lot more keyboardists in local bands as 80s nostalgia hits, so maybe we see new stuff coming from that direction.
your obsession with race is pathetic
when ever some-one trys to be innovative with rock, they arent considered rock, its either some weird ass sub-genre or pop, rock is now just a stencil for some corporate fucktard to jizz into
>I listen to hip-hop for the instrumentals
t. brainlet
name ONE innovation in music since 2000
Music memes
what guitar's that
looks like cort or fernandes?
trap beat
Even rap "innovations" like trap pull from shit that was already done in the 90s.
Face it, we're in an era where innovation has hit a wall. The popular music canon either needs to go the way of the library of Alexandria or we need artists to focus on self-innovation, much like Kanye is doing whether you like his recent output or not.
This could actually be a valid reason.
You're probably right, It's hard to find something that is completely wild to music in itself and make it sound good, there are very little to few people who learn how to do it correctly.
I bet progressive rock is going to make a huge fucking comeback.
Doubt it, people have shorter attention spans then they used too, not that there is anything wrong with it. We just need some innovation that isn't mediocre like what Imagine Dragons does
It already came and went bud
This. For example MBDTF didn't reinvent the wheel at all but it's still largely "innovative" in relation to the chronology of the rest of Kanye's albums.
Thash makesh me purdy sad.
King Gizzard reminds me of prog for some reason tho.
Prog never went away. Like most rock/metal traditions it's thriving in its niche and underground.
In the mainstream I think the population is sick of bad feels. Rap gets a pass because it's "woke" and makes hipsters feel good about social causes, but rock and it's sub genres went full angst with grunge and all the later developments in the 90's. Popular rock music was about sex, drugs, partying, peace, free love, etc. Now r&b and rap are taking up the mantle as distorted, angsty instrumentals are going out of style with the new sincerity crowd.
Thank God.
this
only skinny virgin boys like me listen to rock because its sad and shit
Prog rock is great for its instrumentals tho.
I think lyrics in general are pointless tho.
I've been borderline pretending to like rap for like 3 years. I keep trying to but the lyrics for are fucking garbage. Most rappers can't stay on topic for a full song. It almost always devolves into some form of bragging. Which is fine over interesting beats, but trap production is fucking garbage. Say what you will about grunge and "depressing music" at least it had a pulse. There's still some hip hop I like, but it's few and far between. The first sentence was an overstatement, but I really miss being able to change to the country, or the rock, or the pop stations, or the spanish, or the hip hop stations and it sounding different. Ever since mainstream "indie" died out in 2014, it's almost all sounded like a single monotonous drone.
not innovative, I'm pretty sure some band before in the 90s or early 2000s has created that sound too
>bases innovation on "sound"
kek. pleb detected. I bet you think it's innovative when bands add unusual instruments for the hell of it
>it's almost all sounded like a single monotonous drone.
youtube.com
You are exactly right
>getting mad because I have a different opinion
Congrats you've proven you're a raging virgin.
post-punk revival
garage rock revival
Wikipedia says Djent style of metal originated in the mid 2000's.
Synth replaced the electric guitar as the most expressive and practical instrument.
vaporwave
>revival
>innovation
do you even English
The current state of music is similar to what it was like in America before the Beatles hit. Schlock shit. And yes, I was there.
Its the use of odd time signatures, they definitely have a prog/krautrock feel
Wtf are you doing on Sup Forums if you're like 68 if you unironically did live in a time before the beatles became famous
Listen to Opeth you fag.
mass distribution of media and production software
