I’m not some Vietnam hippy ( even tho I do respect what hippy’s try to do, and all the people who fought or helped us in Vietnam, I deeply respect.) but happened to rock? I mean Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Beatles ( there okay…), Rush, Van Halen, Black Sabbath ( Well ossy’s still out there), all timeless. Now rock is getting confused with The Jonas Brothers and The Naked Brothers Band ( Well, there hardly a band….), and a bunch of other bad bands. At least in this genre. I used to think Kid Rock was awesome…then came his new album ‘Rock&Roll Jesus’….. Now I’m not here to hate bands and genres, but I just don’t like Punk and Metal sides of rock….it annoys me. It’s nothing like listing to a good instrumentalist like Yngwie Malmsteen, or Steve Vai…maybe some classic. A lot of the newer stuff is good too. Pearl Jam? Sweet, but certain people don’t get the credit they deserve….at least nowadays. Some guy’s never did…Yngwie Malmsteen ( more with time), or Steve Vai (never).
Entertainment & Music > Music > Rock and Pop.
That’s what I put this under….Rock and Pop…two very different things…
O for Christ sake….. Metallica is tame for metal by today’s standers(sp?)…
I talk alot to my friends about why this may have happened.
I am with you on not slandering anyone, but I do think there is a finger to point. I don’t know if "blame" is the appropriate term, since that seems I am implying negativity.
Nirvana.
After the 1990’s grunge period rock lost alot of its "classic" sound and gained what alot of bands sound like in rock today.
Guns and roses was one of the most well known and last rock bands before grunge swept the genre. Then Nirvana hit, and every rock-geared band since has had a less instrumental feel and more about the sining. Bands like this are like Three days Grace. Rock is constantly evolving, it started with Elvis in the Sun Studios in 1957. Now i bet when the beatles came around, people were saying the same thing. Where did rock go?
nowhere, it is just making changes, like it will continue to do. I only brought up nirvana since it is in my opinion one of the biggest rock revolutions out there.

I think a lot of it is because people aren’t writing their own music any more. The great rockers did/do, but others (specifically those in the "pop" department) don’t. They hire some word smith to pen their latest hits.

Music evolves. You can’t expect to have bands today sound like the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Music changes for better or worse.
And you never know. There might be a band right now playing in their garage that might change rock music forever in a couple of years.

thats proably why rock hase gotten alot harder so they wont get confused with the jonas brothers and stuff like that. i still love the clasic rock that you were talking about and i like the harder stuff to. were in an era where types of music get meshed in with each other and there isnt a easey way to put bands into rock, pop, r&b, or rap catagory.

K to answer your question Rock hasn’t changed, its evolved into like A Ga Zillion Genres now.
Bands like The Jon@ss brothers belong in the Disney/Bubblegum pop genre but for lack of anywhere else to put them ~ they get lumped in the Rock genre.
AKA ~ Y!A R&P section LOL

music will always change over the years. if every band sounded alike what good would that be. yeah the Jonas Sisters suck but don’t use them to represent modern rock (they’re not even rock). the good rock is still out there you just have to keep your ears opened

Rock has changed and a lot of the bands out there today are not even really playing music. It is get on your instrument and play it as hard and as fast as you can while the lead singer screams into the mic. There are some bright spots in today’s rock, take Disturbed, Papa Roach, or Three Days Grace for example. They all play great music and yes there is some screaming but there is vocal and musical talent there.
