what about pop punk

like green day and blink?

SO BABY PULL ME CLOSER

yeah and mainstream emo bands like mcr

In retrospect, I should've put I Feel It Coming instead of Despacito. But in all fairness, the Bieber remix of Despacito was a landmark moment.

rock also became more apart of establishment

rap supposed rock after 93

The Cure aren’t the only band lmao. I’m talking Talking Heads, Blondie, Devo, Depeche Mode, The Pretenders,The Police, Tears for Fears etc.

All those acts have punk roots, and they were mainstream

my point was the death of rock started much earlier than people realize and it was slowed because of how media controlled the culture

nah the cure definitely made it big enough to qualify as mainstream even tho they were alternative

"rock was done after Hendrix died but ran on fumes for a few years afterwards"

i dont fully believe that you fully believe this bro

Facts. Lovesong, Just Like Heaven, and Friday I’m In Love get constant radio rotation here on the throwback pop channels

would've loved to see Redbone on this

can't stand this song

also rock is very segmented now people don't say oh i am starting a rock band, they say oh i am starting this shoegaze band or they starting some post-hardcore band or some bullshit like that

as @op said none these bands have anything to do with each other musically because they are so different

rap is going down this same path

when "rock" was commercialized and lost its direct roots with little richard and the blues, it died because it had to take on a new form: punk

@Elric chime in

Lil Nas X is set for life thanks to Old Town Road lol, how one song can change your entire life.

possibly Redbone over Royals and I Feel it coming over despacito

no

what definition are you using for the genre "dying"

cuz i really cant see how in terms of quality, popularity or originality rock died in 1971-1975 compared to like 1966-1970

i think that whole narrative about rock "NEEDING" to become punk is kinda trite and overblown tbh. lot of it just coming from dudes who think theyre cool for disliking prog and hard rock

i dont find much value in talking about genres "dying" or being dead tbh

genres dont die they just start to smell a little funny and thats ok

it might be missing the 21 pilots track ?
great beat by mike elizondo btw (produced alot for Dre, Em...)

it's more about the ambitions of the genre
after Physical Graffiti, no mainstream rock act tried to make an album that good which didn't sound like a retread

And not even 1 ounce of talent

also lots of traditional rock which comes out now is f***ing trash

most good stuff coming "rock family tree" are like more experimental side which P4K/fantano champions. None of those records gonna get mainstream radio play
