Yes, Rock Music is dead, no doubt, say goodbye, African American's came up with something better, and that's hip-hop, so there is no need for Rock Music anymore.And do we really miss it anyway? No. Atleast not me and many in my generation. Many Rock artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera and all those devil worshipping bands (which is about 3/4 of rock artists) released nothing but crap, but kids bought it because they wanted to rebel against their parents. They thought these rock artists were bad dudes because they partied and put skulls and fire on their album liner notes. Well, now we have hip-hop. And for kids that want to rebel they don't have to worship the devil anymore and listen to Meggadeath and Danzig, now they can listen to music that is actually artistic, and at the same time they can identify with rappers who are much more threatening to their parents than Rob Zombie ever was, Rob Zombie maybe got arrested once for public intoxication, but these rappers have murder trials, and not only that, they have homies in prison, and they make music that represents for black men locked up behind bars, many rappers have backgrounds in gangs or are gang-affiliated.... no matter how much hair spray Poison and Steven Tyler put in their hair, they can never be as "bad" as rap artists. And alot of parents are racist, so kids that listened to Tool and all that crap to scare their parents can upset them much more easily by identifying with African American rap artists.Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think that their was much art involved in Rock Music, so most of their listeners were just kids going through a phase where they wanted to rebel against their parents. But now gangsta's, pimps, and hustlaz, have replaced hair bands and devil worshippers. And the real hip-hop music fans never bought into that Rock music crap in the first place, and now they listen to hip-hop, whether they be gangsta, conscious, or revolutionary.... because it is the illest and most thoughtful music on the market.
and i'll add to this by sayingblack sabbath's (ozzy's band) first 5 cds and pantera's first two cd's combined are musically more important than knuckle's whole 50 top rap cd's of all time
