There are many phases/trends in society that changed the history and shape music. Where do you think our society is going with mainstream music?
Right now I think we are in Rap take-over. It seems that our perception ( especially the youth, 16-29)is heading towards music that engages a club style atmosphere, where people can grind down on the dance floor and try to hook-up with everyone. When I go and see local rock bands perform, #1 people don't show up in the masses like they use to, and #2 no one is really paying attention and all they are really doing is scoping out the scene. Now..., I know that we will always have rebels and a counter-culture, so where the heck is rock headed?Can we still say Rock and Roll will never die? Has it? With all these cookie-cutter rock bands getting regurgitated by larger record labels? Will there ever be another Kurt Kobain,John Lennon etc... Do we need to start a new wave?c'mon fellas/ladies...let's hear it!!
