I have a lot of "Alternative Rock" on my iPod. However, Alternative Rock happens to mean a lot of things. There was a big punk surge in the 2000s with bands like Blink 182, Third Eye Blind, Counting Crows, etc. Currently Arcade Fire, The Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys are huge and well respected bands. Personally, I'm also into acts like Jake Bugg and The Killers. I think there is a tendency to think that there is no good music because there is so many different sounds out there and everyone seems to listen to different things. Don't be cynical because things have changed, there is still good music out there- you just have to look for it. What will be remembered 20 years from now we will have to wait and see.

We had psychadelic / blues / classic rock in the siexties, we had hard rock in the seventies, we had punk and pop rock in the eighties, we had grunge and indie in the nineteens - but where is the rock music today? I don´t see any new big artists which make real rock - there weren´t no new real big rock bands since Nirvana. Also, there is no special rock genre which is dominant today. What do you think? Will rock music be dead in some years?

I don´t say there´s no good music out there - I like alternative bands, also there are many great new blues artists. I think we´ve got really much good music today - but one kind of music is missing: rock music. That´s the point: There are many great bands, but my favorite kind of music, classic rock, seems to be dead. Sure, there are some little bands like Blues Pills, The Brew and so on, but: We have to face that someday great rock bands like the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, The Who and so on aren´t there anymore. And I´m afraid the little new real rock bands won´t have the success they deserve. No, I don´t think rock music will die (there are always some little bands who like to play classic rock), but I think rock music will never be as popular as it was back in the last years, and that´s very sad.
I have a serious question about this: What is a hipster? Because if you want to be a hipster than you're not one and if you are one you don't want to be one... but not everyone who doesn't want to be a hipster is a hipster...Quote

It's a niche market now. Current rock and roll has no cultural relevance, just wanna be hipsters in rumpled shirts still trying to get girls. When you see a Stones concert you're seeing music mostly made in the 60s. The equivalent would have been in the 60s listening to music made in the 1910s.

All we are experiencing is the progression of time and culture. Rock n Roll has been around in some iteration since the early 1950's. Gregorian Chants were the rage at one time but they too have been regulated to their chapter in history. Time doesn't even wait for Rock N Roll man.

If these 16-18 year old don't get your rock n roll mojo going I'm not sure what would. 60's vibe, 3 pc plus singer, awesome drummer, good lead singing, energy.
