Where did all of our rockstars go?

>>126714105 (OP)
Dead or old fat fucks, what else.

hahahahahahhaha

>>126714105 (OP)
Keith Richards is 81, Jimmy Page is 81
there's not many of the old true rockstars left

Our world's would be rockstars are sitting in front of a computer right now writing the most fire twitter posts to about 8.000 followers.

>>126714105 (OP)
There's just no incentive to be a rockstar anymore, the money is gone (rise of streaming), the clout is gone (young people think being in a band is ''cringe''), even the bitches are gone (people will look at you weird if you have consensual sex with an 18 yr old). This is going to sound weird, but I think a lot of would be rock n roll energy is problably going into indie video game development right now. It's the one artistic endeavour that a group of young guys can do together and become incredibly rich off of, and across all youth oriented media, video games have the most energy at the moment. Meanwhile, there will be a handful of eccentrics around the world keeping the torch of rock n roll alive through sheer passion. But these highly nerdy art guys will never be rich and famous. Also they know that and will do it anyway.

Billy Corgan is weirding me out in this.

is that bald Morrissey?

Elaborate on what you're saying here because I want to know what you mean. Are you talking about enslaving people? I guess that's the answer to your question OP: the industry that killed Rock and Roll was the slave trade, the same industry propping up hip hop as a mainstream genre of music

Why does Dave look like a queer poet?

>>126715454
Not only is he trying to squeeze into the picture but he looks a bit too receptive of whatever his neighbor there is doing. Frank on the other side not caring if he's in the picture or not with a beer in hand makes Dave look uptight here too

They stole their sound from Vola

This photo was what, early 2000s or late 90s?

Rock is dead, nowadays it's just dorky onions boys making nerd shit, if you want to fuck bitches, rap and streaming is where it's at, you might get a little more pushback nowadays for fucking some teen poon though.

Rock is based because it's dead. Do you really want rock to go back to being cringe popslop mainstream shit?

>>126715618
Rock is currently both of those things. Overproduced, irrelevant and lame slop like Ghost and Sleep Token are what we have now.

>>126715572
these guys are truly one of the absolute worst things i've ever heard. they are in instant skip the second they ever come on the radio

>>126715344
shit changes
cringe culture will become cringe

ChatGPT:
>The statement "chris cornell is just aids john fogerty" is nonsensical and incorrect. Chris Cornell and John Fogerty are two distinct musicians, neither of whom has the medical condition "AIDS".
In case you needed any proof that AI is garbage

>>126715835
Cringing is human nature. We just choose different stuff to ciringe at with every generation, and it's usually the stuff our parents or 30 year old guys are into.

As opposed to what, album sales? I thought artists nowadays made money through touring and merch sales, a rock band could still make money that way.

>>126715999
Its not gonna happen because any kid interested in music is just gonna fire up his laptop and get to work instead of wasting time searching around for a few other bums to play instruments for him.

>>126716011
>There is zero zoomer musicians playing instruments
What drugs did your mother take during her pregnancy?

>>126716021
Zoomers aren't gonna pick up an instrument, their attention spans are shot from all the digital entertainment. I'm older than them and still gave up music to watch Youtube and play video games. Besides which why put all the effort into learning some instrument that doesn't even crack the Billboard 200 when you can learn to rhyme and do beats on Adobe and some producer will maybe reach out to you and sign you to a million dollar deal?

>>126716021
What the fuck instruments do zoomers need to make the music that’s popular with them, i.e. rap?

>>126716064
....well there ARE zoomers out there playing instruments so I don't really give a shit about how much of a loser you are. God I hate it when people on the spectrum make arguments like this

>>126716080
They play guitar
>Rock is dead
Yeah I know but rock isn't the only genre with guitars, dumbasses

>>126716097
Fuckass country isn’t music

Over time people realized the rockstar life isn't what it was made out to be, at least not in most cases. You'd grow up to be a drunk fat stoner with greasy hair who never got married and who everyone rips on in the line at McDonalds reminiscing about the "glory days" when you were just sitting around doing nothing but drugs. Ironically today the young people that are into rock are usually quiet educated types who have their life in order not punks who have fun and take risks in life, and it reflects on their music

>>126716226
most of the rockstars are dead. those that did grow old didn't age gracefully
the ones that look good into old age after decades of drug use are the exceptions, not the rule

It will also get you exactly zero pussy. That's the biggest issue in the world right now, is that everything that's "cool" is nerd shit that is not sexy at all.

>>126715376
Probably you are looking at Reeves Gabrels

>>126716315
You can't exactly sell people on idea of sex like you used to. Most people now are scared shitless of getting raped/cucked/pregnant/stalked/whatever else you see on TV everyday. Non stop disco and all that. People would just rather not take the risk, especially when they're already struggling economically.

>>126716353
kek if only it was TV. It's social media giving everyone a voice and exposing how retarded a lot of people can be. It naturally made most people very careful about who they talk to so they don't have as much fun. Also, social media ironically made people less social in general

>>126714105 (OP)
I'm right here bro, what do you need

Everyone in this thread thinking rock is dead or that there are no good bands these days doesn’t take two seconds to actually look. I can give you all a fucking list of great new bands that just don’t get attention because retards like the ones in this thread think mainstream shit represents rock as a whole

>>126715344
This dude thinks the only music these days is what’s on the radio or video games lol you don’t look hard enough for good music being made these days

>>126716390
A new rock album that's actually mainstream

>>126716353
I think it's social media(again, nerd shit). There's this weird duality between extreme oversexualization(OF, Tinder, porn, etc) and this kind of feminist/busybody/snitch culture that enforces a kind of puritanism through fear of being publicly exposed and shamed for something that should be private(sex). There's always been a social element to sex, but everyone is so oversocialized and analytical about it that it completely kills any real sex drive, especially for men.

>>126714105 (OP)

they listen to kpop now

(that's Axl Rose)

>>126716897
good. i’m not a fan of kpop but it's still better than most of current "rock"

>>126716401
>retards like the ones in this thread think mainstream shit represents rock as a whole
name one good "underground" rock band

>>126714105 (OP)
I’m still here

>>126716401
eh he did say rock's kept alive by nerds as an artfag passion project, just with little cultural or commercial relevance

Robert smith hated meeting bowie lol

>>126714105 (OP)

Think about zoomers and think about the word ‘cool’

No bullshit being ‘cool’ fades out in the 90’s and was totally gone with the hipster.

Literally no zoomer is actively trying to be cool. They are a lot of things like fag trannys or schizo lifter bros but they aren’t cool because it wasn’t taught.

Being a rockstar at was the coolest shit ever at one point. These fags literally think being a streamer is cooler than playing an instrument on stage playing stadiums & getting women.

>>126715572
hahahaha

hell yeah
