Do you think a new edgy subgenre of rock is going to be mainstream again soon?

Why on earth would you want rock to become mainstream?

probably, rock is gonna make a comeback, it's been like 20 years of absolute garbage, just like they had hair metal in the 80s now we have mumble rap.

The only good badass artist to come out in the last 20 years was Amy Winehouse.

I do think rock will enter the mainstream again, but I don't think it will ever have the presence/dominance it had from about 1955 to maybe 2013-ish.

I don't think it's going away, though, because at its core, it's essentially pop music that's easy to get into and is appealing. I also think there will always be a place for more organic, real instrumentation, and things like hip hop, EDM, and electropop don't compete for that niche.

I also don't think rock's fade from the mainstream is really that bad of a thing. Jazz was the American pop music until rock and R&B got big in the 40s and 50s. But when that happened, jazz actually entered its best, most musically valuable period, with bebop, and subsequently everything from free jazz and avant-garde jazz to third stream. Obviously rock won't follow the same trajectory since it's already gone through more challenging, experimental phases with everything from prog rock and punk to death metal, industrial, and shoegaze. But I do think that underground niche is still there. And if you look at jazz, there are still amazing jazz groups making music today.

what a fucking embarassing post holy shit, rockists are truly braindead retards

I hope not.

you sound like a manlet

But more importantly will we be able to benefit from it and become rockstars? Who wif me?

There will definantly be a Post trap grunge movement

Fucking good

last 2 times rock was notable to mainstream audiences was numetal and mallemo so its probably best saved for the purists and from popularity seeking edge whores

I hope rock never comes back into the mainstream. Most of mainstream rock has never and will never be good.

I mostly agree, but between those two things there was briefly the garage rock/post-punk revival, and that was fun.

You're all idiots who haven't even been alive long enough to know what the "downfall of rock in the mainstream" has to do with in the first place.

And the answer is no, there will NEVER BE A MAINSTREAM MUSIC MOVEMENT that is "edgy" or organic, MUSIC SCENES ARE DEAD AND EVEN ONES THAT ARE AROUND WILL NEVER BE PICKED UP AND GAMBLED ON BY THE MAINSTREAM AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY

All the "Mainstream" will be forever mow is the most corporate produced popstars and disposable ghetto rappers they can snatch up and hoodwink. The dream is dead. You cannot make it to the mainstream anymore. The system doesn't need you and you can't make money for them because nobody would buy your product.

Correct

Maybe in America, though I doubt it.

In the UK, the current trend for young bands seems to be that virtuosity is replacing simple guitar riffs and edgy lyrics. The current bands that are all around 20 are generally well-educated. Their lyrics tend to be more literary in nature than hard-hitting. Edginess doesn't fit there at all. Maybe in five years there'll be a reaction to that and we'll get a bunch of bands trying to be edgy again, or maybe America will see Britain and try to compete by propping up their own crop of young, edgy bands. Either way, no one knows.

I've noticed that here and especially with the "local" bands, they tend to be "educated" in music to the point that they try to be so full of themselves about how perfect they can play something rather than trying to just play with emotion.

You're gonna have assholes like that in every scene, people who think they're much better than they really are.

Black Country, New Road is the best example, I think, when it comes to what I'm talking about. Despite most of them being well educated musically, they don't come off as pretentious. A lot of them listen to mainstream pop, even. They just combine all of their influences, from Shellac, to their music school background, to Arcade Fire. In the worst case, you get bands doing what you said, being pretentious and ignoring the emotion if music for technicality. But I think there's a lot of bands from Britain with music school backgrounds (or at least good schooling, some people are studying other things like history, but I still think that goes toward my point) that are combining their influences and playing with emotion that are making some really good stuff.

Despite your insane and largely incoherent ramblings you are right about one thing. There is no mainstream anymore.

Your post was utter dogshit tho, user.

This

No. Maybe eventually, but not soon.
