Embrace the shameless primal masculinity that you have been told to hate and fear.

Basically this. Rock dudes are shitbags with no respect or care for others. We just need more rude dudes.

That's rappers you're thinking of.

Stop this meme.

NO STOPPIN ON THE RED LIGHT GIRL CAUSE I WANNA GET YOUR SIGNAL

led zeppelin are effiminate pussies tho

No, rappers respect their mothers. Rock dudes don't talk to their moms.

You mean respect their grandmommas

>What has to happen for rock to make a big comeback?
Perhaps one man bands which would resemble rock in some capacity, because only that option would be profitable. Why do you think DJs are called the rock stars of today? I'm personally not interested and not in favor of rock music becoming that at all. Remember how and when rock music was elevated to the heights it deserved? In the 60's by Englishmen from a small town with one church called Canterbury. I'd prefer it that, than any other way.

A new instrument?

Scenes seem to be a big factor. We just need 10 localized bands playing slightly different takes on similiar styles but with enough variety to cycle through live line ups at shows and make things competitive within said scene to elevate those bands to the next level

Stop with this "progression" crap. Rock is just about finding different ways to write the same songs. New doesn't equal good.

>Rock is just about finding different ways to write the same songs.
you could say the same about any genre you twit.

Time travel.

Now you're getting it.

Not Led Zeppelin because they solidified some of the worst trends in the genre.

You must be out of your fucking mind. All rockers loved their moms

i see it actually making a comeback in the next 10 years. i think trap is going to kill hiphop like hair metal did the rock scene then your going to have a lot of X-revival bands like your seeing in AUS with their surf rock revival, the neo-psych revival going on with king gizzard and tame impala, and the garage rock revival with many underground bands like twin peaks. i dont see any other genre with so much young talent
probably wrong tho

Music is dead as an art form

Rock was never notably good music, it was edgy culturally. That edge can't be ever regained.

We should do prog again. Those were good times.

Modern prog bands are either garbage Dream Theater-tier prog metal wankery with zero musicality, or 70's Genesis/Pink Floyd worship. Nobody's interested in actually being progressive.
The only modern prog band I really loved was The Mars Volta but they're dead now. Tool are nice too.

my dudes it is completely possible that the old status of rock n roll will never be accomplished again and that shouldn't bother us since, fuck jazz was pop pre40s, the industry changes, music changes so fuckit

however i do believe that there's something unique about rock that no other genre is capable of putting forward, now i would be einstein if i could pinpoint exactly what that is, but i believe it has much to do with yknow the rebel stance, being the underdog, not givin a fuck, masculity and such shit, what you niggers think whats the thing that sets rock apart not musically but rather ideologically

Experimentalism... This is a factor that all music, not just rock, has recently lost. Ariel Pink speaks about this in an interview.

Revivals are fucking awful and the worst thing ever and you shouldn't want them to exist

DUDE ALCOHOL AND CIGS LMAO XD

Mass genocide

It needs to be edgy but marketable (e.g. God Save The Queen by SP) If it isn't edgy enough it's not really rock (e.g. Boy Pablo) but if it's too edgy it isn't marketable (e.g. Extreme metal)

kek

rappers respect their mothers because moms are the only parent they have

Dream Theater is "wankery with zero musicality" and Tool isn't?

I don't like either band, I'm just trying to see where you're coming from here.

>Metal
>rock

>and Tool isn't
From the instrumentation alone they aren't. Also:
youtube.com/watch?v=FwkcRTNMsWs

Because they never wank even the guitar solos are always conservative and the solos are always musical

Nigga what. Tool songs are incredibly simple rhythmically, unless you're a drummer.

Which interview?

i can't find it atm but he basically said he considered stuff like hall & oates experimental by his statement, and the last time he really listened or enjoyed pop music was with nevermind

it was some guy's podcast, it was over the phone

it was either that one, or one where he talks about how he takes a "professor" approach to his music (print)

It’s probably going to happen. It’s not as if neurotypicals completely forgot what rock is - most people still remember a time where rock was popular, and are getting sick of pop rap and trap rap invading every area of popular music. Like it or not, there’s going to be a huge pushback some two or three years down the line with people asking for more rock music in the mainstream.
As for scenes, there’s something really weird happening in southern Arizona. There’s not that many new notable bands from there (since playing live in Arizona is an absolute nightmare due to the weather), but there’s this weird “new rock culture” forming there. People more commonly wear rock memorabilia from any era, there are stores that mainly sell said items and rock records, and the strangest bands have regained huge audiences there. Stryper’s “Fallen” album inexpicably got extremely popular for a bit in cities like Chandler and Phoenix.

it's the spirit of rock music and experimentalism of the past that needs to be brought back.

The idea behind it.

We don't need to constantly copy forgotten genres that have already been perfected in the past or bring back 'revival scenes' or whatever it is

yikes

King gizzard and the lizard wizard?

MEDIOCRE
COPYCAT
BUZZ BAND

Nah, people who ask this usually either ignore current popular/mainstream rock acts or call them shit and "not real rock". For example
>Tame Impala
>Mac Demarco
>UMO
>King Krule

I dont understand. All those bands are great, but you cant deny what king gizzard is doing right is helping rock right?

holy crap the guitarist is hot and i'm not even full gay

It is, but what I'm saying is the likes of OP will ignore that and just call it soycuck music or something. Great rock music is still being made, and lots of people are still listening to it, even if it's not always in the top 40.

hell yea. well fuck op then. Im glad king gizzard is gainging a lot of popularity, even in the mainstream. went to a concert of them yesterday and the gig was sold out. lots of people, it was great

none of those bands/artists are that popular, and their music isn't objectively good or innovative. they're not bad.

bullshit

Think this is it, thanks

I am seriously curious about this whole “Arizona rock culture” thing. Can any Arizonanons tell me more about it?

that's not an argument.

music has nothing to do with it, people just need to get bored of hip hop and "indie" culture. there will be a time when looking like robert plant is the cool thing again

the real answer in summary is to stop trying to fucking revive memey shred geetar rawkstar culture, it should stay dead. The answer is to be creative and try new things but also at the same time not being faggy timid indie nerds with zero charisma and stage presence. Also more improv (without devolving into solo shredding wankery).
(Maybe try doing the 60s counter culture, part 2, but relevant to today, though this last line is prolly unlikely and may not work)
this user is probably correct about trap music being like rap music's hair metal/glam stage. (hopefully lol) people will get tired of the appeal of the whole excess/hedonism/nihilism thing

Mac demarco is really popular, Tame Impala is really popular, King Gizz are selling out shows and I know damn well that King Krule is getting a lot of hype.
What's your argument for them being unpopular?

Tame Impala is the only one that is near soundcloud rapper lvl popularity and they had to add disco and R&B to their sound to do it, the rest are literal whos

Have you ever gone to one of their concerts? That shit gets sold out incredibly fast.

Radiohead shows sell out in minutes. U2 shows sell out in seconds. A Mac Demarco show where I live sold out in like 20 minutes.
Not everywhere is the US m8

Rap is going to decline fairly soon but rock won't take it's place, there'll be a new genre we can't see coming, rock will remain underground

No

Yes

resurrect the the Judge

Rock had a pseudo comeback when all the guitar hero type games were huge in the 00's because people now want to experience music instead of just listening to it.

Angry white dudes playing guitars is just fucking stale at this point.

b r a i n l e t

You are not winning, nigger

thats what raps is. rap does this for ego and masculinity

a lot of rock used to be that way too, though.

It needs to adapt with the times. It should no longer just be an extension of the white male patriarchy

if it means diversity quotas at gigs then so be it. No one wants to watch a whole band of white cis dudes

Every gig should reflect the exact demographics of the city it's played in. Every band should have around 10 extra members of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds including gays and trannies in order to fulfill this requirement

unironically kill yourself.

Unironically this. The amount of all male, majority white gigs ive walked out of lately..

Better question: Why should rock, or any other genre that's in decline, for that matter, make a comeback?

>not being offensive to people with an inferiority complex is more important than having talent
Maybe women/minorities/LGBT people should sacrifice a handful of the 16 hours a day they use to bitch about being unerrepresented to develope some talent and actually make the music they want to listen to and help to bring about a new age of bands that aren't 90% white straight men?

How was it that that phrase went, "be the change you want to see" or something?

Bands need to start hiring people like Grimes to produce their albums. It's the only way desu. Send a shock to the system by going out of the box for collaborators.

That worked for Homme when he enlisted Reznor

well said.

Hey can my band revive rock n roull.

^This. Rock is a couple of guitars over a 4/4 backbeat. The sounds and themes change a bit with the times, but the basic ideas expressed are always the same.

>the real answer in summary is to stop trying to fucking revive memey shred geetar rawkstar culture, it should stay dead

I agree. Gene Simmons' brand of rock was a product of its time, it doesn't work today.

The thing is, 70s-80s arena rock was based on flamboyant excess and wearing ridiculous outfits, but that's not what's popular since the 90s. Look at the average clothing people wear today and it looks very...muted compared to the over-the-top 80s styles.

Mac Demarco isn't "rock" and the others are old guy dadrockers.

He's more like the Millenial James Taylor.

the internet has to disappear & a full generation of kids have to grow up not having easy access to 60+ years of pop & rock to DL & be bored of in one summer

White kids need to start listening to it again instead of nigger music

>guitar solos are bad
You should seriously consider killing yourself

trips of truth

>Courtney Barnett, Dave Grohl, Captain Beefheart, and Grimes all in one photo
Holy shit

What makes this Led Zeppelin cover band so special?

There won't be a comeback since it ties too strongly with demographics, and the latter won't make a comeback either.

you guys sound like black flag at the end of their career.

The rock revival has now been postponed another couple years. Thanks.

They sound more like Led Zeppelin than Led Zeppelin does.

Speak ye any English?
