None of those bands sound like the black Crowe’s!
The libertines were one of the last great rock n roll bands. A joy to behold live in the early 00s.

Rock and Roll had a decent 40-year run from the mid-50s to the early 90s. That's much longer than big band music got. It's been on fumes ever since. The sad thing is nothing had really replaced it. New generations have failed to come up with a different sound.

Your son was right though, Sighunt. Hip-hop and rap is is bigger than rock and roll among the broader audience. It was a while since rock was number one.
The rock dinosaurs still attract big audiences when on tour. Mostly older people with thick wallets. Maybe U2 will be the last rock dinosaur? Or Metallica?

I can't relate to any of this because I'm a young person and I don't hang out with anyone who cares about hip hop
We're Stones freaks, deadheads, and huge rock n roll fans of many other bands in between.
I sensationalize the whole hippie dream that came before me and find myself living it out in the present

Indeed they were. For me, they're the last British band that truly mattered to me. I loved The Arctic Monkeys, who followed a few years later, but I have so much nostalgia for Up The Bracket.

I was very lucky that 10 years ago quite by accident I discovered a new genre of music that I love passionately. It is a very rich field with a huge amount of material written and performed mostly by musicians in their 30s and 40s, although some have been going since the early 90s. It suits me better as a mature adult. Rock music was a big part of my adolescence and 20s and 30s, but I don't identify with it any longer.
