>I’ve got this pathological disrespect for Jim Morrison and the whole myth that surrounds Jim Morrison, simply because it affects and has affected the people in bands and in the rock business, in that they think they have to act like fucking prats in order to live up to the legend. […] Jim Morrison’s a fat, talentless bastard and he’s dead. And none of that means anything. It’s more important just to have your own voice within the business than to live up to this thing that you’re supposed to live up to.
Why is this small time British singer insulting an American legend?

no one gives a shit about jim morrison then or now. america has always been an irrelevant third tier nation when it comes to rock music.

>>24516655
It's really just the UK and the US at the top. Also, historically speaking there would be no rock music without America.

Nobody has listened to rock music since 2003. Once all the boomers die off it will be forgotten like all that old vegas big band crooner stuff

Fuck off.

>>24517125
A lot of millennials are completely blind to this. It’s actually sad looking at all the millenniboomers in white hair and rock band tshirts stinking up the place at concerts and music shops. Most of all their delusional belief that their genres “still got it” as if they’re popular and relevant.
Even the “stars” are fucking geriatric at this point, some still strutting about on stage about to break a hip. This prompts no awareness from the fans.

I think it’s because Rock was so mainstream they can stay delusional. You don’t see Goths unaware they’re a dead period piece.

Why does Jim Morrison make midwits seethe so much?

>>24517227
Crazy it's the most popular one there when you've got Molière, Proust and Wilde. I hate tourists so much it's unreal. At least pretend to care about the culture of the country you're visiting

thom was a real one for that

>>24517203
I can agree that Rock as an actively dominant genre is basically dead. I also agree that all the geriatrics still performing on stage are a tad embarresing but whatever. That said, there's nothing wrong with appreciating it and it's glory days, same could be said about Classical and Jazz. You'd have to be incredibly nigger/zoomer brained to actually view it through those simplistic and internet-rage-bait lenses. I'm 27 and Rock is my primary genre of choice and always will be. I'm talking the the old shit too, the 1960's are my favourite decade in music.

>>24517173
Jim Morrison is a published author.

"I listened to Radiohead once — sounded like a robot having a nervous breakdown in a thunderstorm. People call that genius? Back in my day, we used harmonies, not haunted modem sounds. Thom Yorke’s voice? Like a ghost with asthma. They’re out there trying to reinvent the wheel, but forgot how to drive. I spent six months writing 'God Only Knows' — they sound like they wrote an album during a fire drill. Dissonance is cool if you know what consonance is first. They’re not ahead of their time, they’re just bad at being in one."

— Brian Wilson, Playboy 2002

>>24517268
>same could be said about Classical
I disagree. Classical may not be anywhere near as popular as the current Top 40 radio hits but it arguably has more cultural clout than it's ever had. It was never meant to be for the masses but there are more people now that at least know of the biggest names and their most famous songs than when those guys were alive.

But Jazz I feel is pretty much dead except for a small group of avid fans and rock is pretty much only kept alive by people in the 50+ age bracket.

>>24517495
>rock is pretty much only kept alive by people in the 50+ age bracket.
I go to to rock festivals sometimes and I see mostly young people. Maybe it's different in your country.

>>24516655

I can't imagine the euro seethe to come up with such a retarded statement.

>>24517495
>rock is pretty much only kept alive by people in the 50+ age bracket
there are hundreds of rock genres operating outside of the mainstream, from hardcore to post punk to noise rock, that are kept alive by creators and audiences under 40, same as it ever was

Americans literally invented rock music

>>24517498
I live in America (the only country that matters)

Well your country has been niggerized by rap and whatnot, so that's expected.

>>24516655
I'm an American and do think the Bongs are probably better at rock music than we are. I saw Tesseract open a concert recently and the singer (who also looked the part of a British rock singer) was doing all the moves. I dunno they seem very at ease with "theatrical" performance and poetry and melody but combined with a rough and Rust Belt layer of British society or shaped by that.

I've got to link this, there has been just a ton of these guys:
https://youtu.be/p4w2BZXL6Ss

>>24517203
Bongs are (or at least were) good at goth too, but yeah, goth is actually comfortable being dead, or being at ease with its own undeadness. In essence it's an internal or inward-facing artistic tradition in Western culture.

>>24517203
This generational cope is a bit silly though. Zoomers aren't much different from millennials because there's less of a technological gap between them. (Also millennials are a bit larger in size.) I think the idea of a distinct youth culture is probably going to die off, at least something as strong as it had been. It's something that came about in the 60s/70s because the experience of the youth growing up post-war was radically different from their parents and grandparents due to rapid economic and technological change.

>>24517537
Are you retarded? 80% of rock with any artistic merit, as well as the foundations of the genre, are British. You must be an absolute zoomer to believe this.

>>24517268
The White race letting rock music die sealed their fate.

>>24517591
Rock was invented by niggers third world faggot

>>24517685
Rock flourished thanks to Anglo-Saxons. Jojo Johnson or whatever singing about being le sad and poor while playing guitar is ultimately inconsequential. Rap is gross and its popularity with the American youth perfectly matches America's cultural decline.

>>24517675
The question is who INVENTED rock music. "But look these British guys who came later were very influential!" You are illiterate.

>>24517706
Sure, you could argue that Americans "invented" rock in the primitive form that it existed with Chuck Berry, but the genre would have been completely forgotten by now if it wasn't elevated by the British in the 60s and 70s into what it became. It's pretty insane that PF, LZ, and Bowie still sound sexy to this day. Beatles derivatives still regularly top charts in the 21st century.

>>24517705
>Jojo Johnson or whatever singing about being le sad and poor while playing guitar is ultimately inconsequential.
Except not a single angloid would've picked up a guitar before being inspired by Jojo Johnson

>>24517675
you could have posted any other british rockband to state your point, but you just had to pick the one that stole a shitload from american blues artists lmao

>>24517705
>Rap is gross
It's fun and objectively more /lit/ since the best rappers body the best rock singers when it comes to lyrics

>>24517751
You mean put to good use, improved upon, quickened, enlivened. Americans always talk about blues in music discussion as if they themselves even give a shit about it kek.

>>24517748
At certain point they were just inspired by their peers. Those who did it better contributed more than those who did it first. Also, blacks and Anglos wouldn't have guitars if the Spanish hadn't invented them. We would always play the game of going back to previous eras, what matters are individual contributions.

>>24517758
It's ugly, vulgar and the lyrics are written in a retarded dialect. Rock ruled during America's golden era, rap rules during its decline. This is no coincidence.

>>24517769
Spoken like a trve boomer.

>>24517765

I agree, the contributions of John Lennon wouldn't have happened without the contributions of Chuck Berry

Retarded lyrics.

Btw Kanye said he was more inspired by rock music than by rap. It is the superior genre.

>>24517794
This is bait.

>>24517803
Cope. Real /lit/erates recognize rap as a superior genre. Rock is for balding neckbearded redditors and fat boomers who killed all their brain cells with alcohol 20 years ago.

>>24517812
Did I hit a nerve, fag? lol
Sorry but rock will forever be superior and there's nothing you can do about it. All your "Lil Fags" and "Big Cucks" are nothing compared to the great rock artists.
