In the past, everyone tuned in to the same radio stations, watched MTV, or read popular magazines. Now, with streaming platforms, social media, and niche communities, the audience is highly fragmented. People follow their specific interests instead of the mainstream, making it harder for any one artist to become a global superstar.
Whats your greatest Rockstar ?

The “rockstar” image used to be synonymous with rebellion and breaking boundaries, but in a culture that increasingly values humility, kindness, and relatability, the traditional rockstar persona doesn’t resonate the same way.

Check Gyasi on youtube he has all the skills to be a new ziggy Rockstarcopycat.
The Struts, fronted with an Early Queen like Singer.
Palais Royale who have Keith Copy on guitar.
This 3 Bands live up to the Hype, and have the skills.
They are on a everlasting tour and release album now and then but the way to
stardom seems thin and narrow..

Currently I'd I agree Dave Grohl is probably the last true rock star and I'll even throw in that Taylor Hawkins was probably the last non front man from a band that most people knew. Only problem for me is...The Foo Fighters are the one band I wished I like more than I do. Just vanilla and bland to me. Couldn't sit through a Foo concert but I wish I could.

I feel like this thread should be renamed "Excluding the largest Music Star in the world right now, why aren't there Rock Stars". I'm going to add to my earlier comment. Another issue is Rock fans don't even support new bands. Greta Van Fleet could have been that next big Rock Band but all you heard was Zeppelin/Plant rip off and they got a ton of hate from older rock fans. Are they a Zep/Plant rip off? Of course. But never mind that Zeppelin themselves ripped off all their influences as well. Nope, The Lemon Dong doesn't sound like Howlin Wolf's Killing Floor at all

I can't help of think of bands like Tool that prefer to be faceless. I wonder if that is another issue. Being a "Rock Star" just may not be all that important to younger musicians. May not be the case, but worth considering.
