Rock and Roll led a long, fruitful life. In 1956, no one thought it would last fifty years.
I don't think there's room anymore to do anything within the narrow guitar, drums, bass format that hasn't already been done. It's played out.
But it was fun while it lasted. We should appreciate it for that.

... It will always be around. Someone will always do something "good". Guitar, drums and bass is not a "format". Culturally there has been an enormous shift to laziness. That involves computers doing almost everything. Club music isn't exactly music. Something with deep sweeping bass noise and ridiculous beats is just sonic gibberish.

It’s over when the boomers finally all kick the bucket.
More large unused Olympic stadiums going to pot (not organic cannabis farming, but hey )
Seriously, I get this very distinct feeling people are going/we are being geared to staying home- home deliv. from driverfree cars, work at home. Anticipating worsening bad air, not sure, but large massive crowd events, for music, wayside after our rock heroes and us, expire. Replaced by or if, not sure.
I say that’s a massive snow bluff, whoever said that from Livenation.

Life is cyclical...
Anyone ever been to Rome and seen the coliseum? Or a picture of it? Roman and Greek amphitheaters can be found all over southern Europe, N. Africa and the Middle East. I'm not sure about Asia but I'm thinking there are ruins of large ancient theaters to be found there as well. S. America as well.
My point? The elite have been keeping the masses entertained "en masse" for millennia. Unless they start prohibiting us from assembling (a very REAL possibility with the coming artificial intelligence and virtual reality), they will continue to heard the sheeple, like cattle, into large groups for the newest, latest, greatest event you could ever desire to be a part of for millennia to come. It may not be for Rock & Roll, but they'll find some sort of carrot to dangle.
Peace,
Mr DJA

Yes, the sports will continue. Man = football.

ETA: instrument playing at a young age seems to be on the decline, from my view.
In the middle school years, school band time cuts into other academic studies, requires extra time and money, and the band teachers try and get the kids to switch instruments to round out their orchestra/ band, limited as it is.

That's just ridiculous. It will always be around. Someone will always do something "good". Guitar, drums and bass is not a "format". Culturally there has been an enormous shift to laziness.
