When College Rock and underground music became more popular they had to change the name cause it couldn't be underground and be mainstream and popular all at the same time, so they called it "Alternative Rock."

Preach :D

George Clanton's last album Slide is a good indicator of some ways rock could obtain relevancy in the long term. Vaporwave'd, if you will.

not how original AM are (lol)


In reading through the thread I'm reminded of why I'd originally left for Reddit.

OK I basically assume the premise of this thread is to brashly accuse Rock of "retreading." Well name something that doesn't. Like Hollywood never retreaded plots or movies? Like the Fast and the Furious was one and done? Like tabloids never once "retreaded" the Kennedy assassination story or aliens? ... or both for that matter e.g. Nibiru aliens killed JFK. I am not defending of those gawdawful bands. It just that I am keenly aware that this "retreading" phenomena runs rampant through various other mediums.

In your OP you said that it made you sad that you have to rely on "leaning on guys who are slightly older than me." tbh I don't know why you said that and I am still trying to figure that out. I guess once you're old enough and get pass the way you think in your teenage years you'll see things differently. You can appreciate the opinions even from those slightly older than you. You don't have to totally agree with but you can see where they are coming from, why they hold that pov.

Think about this: If you don't like it it's "retreading," however if you're into it then it's a "revival."

Is that album even rock tho?

I see what you mean to an extent, though the hypnagogic thing like Ariel Pink was a trend in it's own that's kinda left it's peak already

As somebody who also goes on Reddit a lot, this place has MUCH better taste than those f*cking dweebs over there. r/vintageobscura excluded because those guy seriously kick ass but every other music sub is terrible.

Don't blame us cause you're a waste of taste.

I think not. He's one of the few posters here that recognize the stuff I like.
