Its about corperate magazines like rolling stone and bloated record companys who try to push the image that Rock N Roll covers all music, which is a lie. Rock N Roll has become crap, in order for music to progress, Rock N Roll needs to die.

It doesn't necessarily have to die. It just needs a wicked band to come along and push the boundaries once again.

Or....Maybe it does....Maybe a new style of great music needs to emerge from all the fakeness of today's society. Something that is previously unheard of.

This is the most ridiculous thread ever! Music dead? It's all around you! Ok........Yes there's nobody who is different from anybody else but it's out there and some people like it..Even tho it makes you want to do this....

I beg the differ, there are plenty of bands today that are different from others, like Death From Above 1979, The White Stripes, and The Features (though they sound oddly familiar)

I hate them, not only because they are not original, but also because i dont even like Joy Division...Joy Division were original though.

I found this band that's pretty good:

onlynowexisting.com

At least you have a reason, most of the people I know don't like someone because they are different. Like have you heard of The Features?

TheBig3 · 11-12-2005, 04:37 PM

Did you really say the Vines were taking risks?

Listen you, by the grace of god, were blessed to have found this place. Everyone comes here listening to their local KROQ offspring, and knowing classic rock, new **** and little else.

Im not going to blow my own horn here, but if you asked Me, Rise Against, Misfits, and Boo boo what bands were really a breath of fresh air in music today, you'd easily get 40 diffrent bands...at the very least.

MB is a portal to music you didn't know existed before, all you have to do is say something like "I really like [band] because of [reason] and we could **** out 14 bands that may do something similar but not at all the same.

Music's dead if you listen to corporate play lists, but in the seedy nightclub underbelly of music, there lies a heartbeat of passionate music and the deathrattle of of the corporate behemoth.

Its actually not that bad right now, if your 14 today, then you missed the horrid stretch of 98-01. Todays music seen is far more varied (even on three-peice suit radio) and its in no way dying.
