I love how every generation claims that rock died shortly after said generation aged a little bit and is no longer a teenager -precisely the age when they were at their most temotionally vulnerable and thus the most receptive to rock music.
I'm pretty sure aging hippies cried when Jimi Hendrix and The Animals stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure guitar-spanking burnouts cried when Peter Frampton and Deep Purple stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure safety-pin punks cried when The Clash and The Sex Pistols stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure mascara-wearing lushes cried when Ratt, Whitesnake, White Lion, Winger, Warrant, and Def Leppard stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure I cried when Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Mr T Experience and Green Day stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure wussies that loved hearing guys with their hair perms sing about their daddy issues cried when Nickelback stopped making records.
I'm pretty sure that soon enough hipsters will cry when ...whoever... stops making records.
Greenday never stopped making records? That just read like an elaborate hipster post compiled via the medium of Google to impress me via musical knowledge.
It failed.
Also... Whitesnake.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

This.
Not sure where he was going with that.....
I was wondering the same. It sounded like wishful thinking to me.
(I'm just kidding, some of their stuff is alright.)
And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!

Rock just isn't in the spotlight like it used to be, and perhaps that is simply its natural place in the order of things now that it has been thoroughly explored. For me it will likely always be my main genre of listening.
I think most people decide that rock is currently dying when they reach their late twenties. It's when they enter their 'Damn Kids And Their Music' phase.

I wish this was true.
I love that Tasebuds.fm voted them #1 musical turnoff, beating both Gaga and that Justin Baby kid(who I've yet to actually hear a song from on anything other than the tv when they talk about him, how is he actually famous/successful if his stuff never gets played?).

See, I've been moving away from rock since hitting my twenties, but instead of being 'Damn Kids and their Music,' I've really come to appreciate electronic music. From early stuff like Kraftwerk in the 70's to guys like James Blake today.

He's famous because of the thousands of tween girls that care more about looks than actual music.

Being one of the primary assassins, that twenty-years-too-late Alice Cooper wannabe....
I respectfully disagree. Also Cooper<Manson.
Both used semi-goth makeup, and shock tactics for publicity. Manson could take it farther, since he came along 20 years later, but Alice was there first.
As far as Cooper</>Manson, that's going to be a judgement call. I was merely pointing out that Manson was being... a bit of a copycat.

Yes they did
I refuse to acknowledge that greenday produced any music after (and including) American Idiot.
They didn't stop making records, they just started making crappy emo songs when the american punk stuff stopped writing cheques...
I won't use quite that much vitriol, but yeah, you got my point loud and clear. -Although I didn't mind American Idiot. I actually thought that Jesus of Suburbia & She's a Rebel were pretty solid. Unfortunately, it was a pretty accurate portent of their new direction; and I thought that 21st Century Breakdown was just terrible, as I do all rock-opera albums.
Despite this, they are still my favourite band. And I'm glad I got to see them live before they started wearing eyeliner.
