It’s focus on anti-establishment nature and non conformity is actually much more endearing than this “rise & grind” culture we have in hip hop

i’m aware that systematic struggles are what cultivate hustle culture in the black community (more worry about trying to survive) but it’s so blatant at promoting capitalism and labels pushing it shamelessly unbeknownst to the artist

Since hip hop “ falling off” fans of any genre let’s shamelessly make Rock return back to #1 commercially with that same feeling

Nah fr I didn’t think the verse was that bad

not true

Punk had that ethos

but most Rock does not

and even then, Punk later had to transform into the commercialized commodity pop punk to even survive into the 2000s

It's about DRIVE It's about POWER

i like hi hat doing a triple roll in my left headphone

Real man music

Rock largely was about d****, sex, alcohol, hedonism, shock value, etc.

The idea that Rock was largely "anti-establishment" is a false doctrine from people that romanticize older rock. There were political songs for sure, especially with punk bands like Rage Against The Machine, but it wasn't as prevalent as people though.

And good luck bringing "Rock" back to number 1. MGK had 2 number one albums this decade but it never made Rock any more popular than Rap, Pop, Country, or International Music.

Who is we

that makes sense just like how not all forms of rap promote the same thing but it’s like the way i remember it for the youth more cool & non conforming

unrelated to the thread but i recently started getting into rock music. im going thru the beatles discography right now and these niggas was fire

The song that ended racism

yeah if you ignore the "selling out", "fast food" & homogenizing of Rock like Rap then sure

Rock never died Imagine Dragons never leaves the radio or playlists

Putting a lot of words in a lot of people's mouths rn
