Rock is dead

[cambraceres]

It pains me to the center of my being each and every day.

The current music industry is what happens when all music is tuned to the demographic of 12 year old girls....voila!

I would not be totally opposed to jail terms for making crap pop/rock.

And I agree with you about Monster Magnet, they do indeed rock!

People were saying weird stuff like this 25 years ago. Except back then, "hair" (and visual presence) was taking over music due to MTV's influence.

Rock music will endure.

Rock will endure, of course. The question is, what needs to be done in order to create an atmosphere conducive to the emergence of quality rock bands?

The music industry is in a poor place because, I believe, of the maketing strategies employed. The strategies which favor kids.

Its happening already bands can now record demos cheaply, at home if needs be, and self promote and market online to a much wider relavent audience than has ever been the case previously, without any help for a label, they still need a label to get the proper product to market though.

Look at the success the Artic Monkeys have had and that was all based around the buzz generated on the net and by the band releasing free songs online etc. I beleive they will be the first of many.
