Oct 9, 2020·1 replyCloser was popular for like two years. It was huge but I don't believe it was that popular. It was one of the first massive streaming songs that would drop off (along with the chain smokers).

rvii 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
they don't die, they're composted and recycled

Oct 9, 2020BRAVEI personally think it’s cause blues influence stopped being cool going into the 2010s, and that’s the reason both rock and r&b died around the same time
But what’s your theory?
Oct 9, 2020laudiit'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 retreadAnd honestly it was for the better lmao. Physical Graffiti is one of my all time favorite albums, and it just sealed the classic rock era for me. There was too many s***ty hard rock bands so there had to be a change.

S*** if we take the surge of edm going into the 2010s (the same time rock and r&b died in the mainstream) then there’s really no room for any blues influence in the production, songwriting, aesthetics or anything
And if everyone started doing that as the industry standard for “sung” music, what space is there for the main blues influenced genres to thrive like they did in the entire decade prior?

i still think it has enough traction to be popular in the future with our generation as a "throwback", obv not as much as 2016

I think certain artists can do it but it can't be the standard anymore

call me maybe classic
Oct 9, 2020laudiwhen "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
I think precious few artists ever can legitimately claim the lineage of Little Richard.... James, Paul, Iggy, Prince...... I'd say rock was truly done when the spirit of the Yardbirds and their more encompassing style of rave-ups was abandoned.

i actually think it happened earlier
rock was done after Hendrix died but ran on fumes for a few years afterwards
that's around the time funk and disco started and england appreciated those genres better than racist ass Amerikkka
so when disco "died" in 1980, england appropriated it in a lot of their "rock" music to keep the spirit of mainstream rock going but america completely ignored it throughout the '80s, '90s, and '00s
this is why american rock bands from 1980-2010 were mostly lame as f***Hendrix was an an both an extreme apex and a mere blip in the context of the golden era of rock. Definitely have never thought of his death as the end of any sort of era. Bowie and Roxy and the Stooges hit their stride right after he was gone let alone Exile n Who's Next n all the krautrock etc so many goats.
