Imagine playing guitar in 2025

>>126778964 (OP)
Rock is a fake genre.

>>126778971
Pop is mostly fake

>he thinks the only reason to be artistic and learn a skill is money

>>126778971
rock is THE genre.
rock is music incarnate

the less distorted guitar something has, the gayer it sounds

>>126778980
Pop is popular. It’s in the name. Rock doesn’t even have a real definition.

>>126778964 (OP)
i don't have to imagine it i do it

>>126778964 (OP)
Imbred will change this

>>126778983
This place is actually kind of creepy. A lot of anons who act like they're part of some cool pop mainstream, but they're all fatass gooners acting thirsty over pop idols. Like that makes them cool themselves or something.

>>126778964 (OP)
Yeah I really give a fuck about normie popslop

>>126778992
This. It's the natural blend between classical and rhythmic percussion. Rock & Roll is perfect.

Rock (and metal, punk, you name it) is pop. It is no different from pop compositionally. You're listening to rebranded repolished arianna grande and lady gaga.

Take the real music pill: >>126752922

>>126779136
nice way to tell us women think you're a creep

>>126778964 (OP)
Benson Boone with Bautiful Things and Lady Gaga with Die with a smile have shown that rock music is still very much alive
Get rekt!

>>126778964 (OP)
Rock has never dominated singles charts even when it was UTTERLY dominating album charts. It's always been an album driven genre.

>>126779565
Die with a smile is considered rock?

have people cared about billboard top 100 since 2001?
i thouhht napster defeated that kind of slop

>>126779476
Explain how this
https://youtu.be/CVb2tnFN5AA?si=bfpp1grcu3jgVRdB
Is compositionally the same as this
https://youtu.be/bESGLojNYSo?si=pLoZ31zozFsYzRGm

>>126778964 (OP)
I just bought a guitar

>>126779704
do freebird

The real reason rock is dead is because 99% of zoomer guitarists either learn nothing beyond 4 chord pop slop, trying to imitate boomer rock, or learning faggy shredding techniques that only appeal to other guitarists. No one is actually trying to push boundaries

>>126778964 (OP)
>guitar can only be used for rock

>>126779813
It's the only genre where guitar is the best instrument

>>126779688
Let's see....
>same exact harmony first 100x bar or so
>same exact motif
>same exact rhythmic variety
>nonsensical noise appears and disappears, for no apparent reason at all (this never repeats in the song, lol)
>guitars come in
>it's literal power chord slop, parallel fifths with le distortion, nothing else. lowest of the low craftship meant for monkeys
>idiotic lead with shit voice leading, formless, appears and disappears on a whim
You're right, lady gaga is less pop and low IQ than king creamturd, astonishing. This is pop for hipsters and RYMsisters, a.k.a. THE pop of today.

For the sake of god, listen to actual music >>126752922 this is embarrassing beyond comprehension.

>>126779786
Boundaries like what?

>>126778964 (OP)
Why millennials killed rock?

>>126779831
yep and there it is, he typed a bunch of shit that is factually wrong and outs himself as a musiclet. lol every time, he never learns.

>>126779831
This track isn't that dissimilar from most contemporary classical pieces, criticizing it on these metrics is retarded and disingenuous.

>>126778992
*tips fedora*
Rock had a time and place
It's now a niche genre much like jazz became once if fell out of the zeitgeist

That can't be true. There were so many popular rock songs that were huge mainstream hits up until the late 2000's

>>126779000
>Rock doesn’t even have a real definition.
it's like porn: hard to define but you know it when you encounter it

>>126779899
>that is factually wrong
All of that was factually correct, deaf, musically illiterate anon.
>>126779965
>contemporary classical
Garbage.

>>126778964 (OP)
plenty of rock songs hit #1 since then (Die With A Smile recently)
>NOT ROCK!!!
it's called "pop rock" retard, if you don't include these then only two rock songs hit #1 since the 60s (How You Remind Me and Sweet Child O' Mine)

>>126778964 (OP)
>>126779983
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay reached #1 in 2008.
The first genre description on its Wikipedia page is art rock.

>>126779022
We're not ALL fat!

>>126780249
luv that song, simple as

>>126780249
also:
"We are Young" by Fun
>Arena rock
>Indie Rock
"Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo
>Pop-punk
>Pop rock

it's called "pop rock" retard, if you don't include these then only 3 rock songs hit #1 since the 60s (Nickelback, Creed, GNR)

>good 4 u

>>126780249

VLV is a pop song mate, just think about it

>Avril Lavigne - "Girlfriend" (2007) - Pop-punk/pop-rock.
>P!nk - "So What" (2008) - Pop-rock.

>>126780281
*since the late 60s I mean

>>126780306
>it's called "pop rock" retard, if you don't include these then only 3 rock songs hit #1 since the 60s (Nickelback, Creed, GNR)
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (1970)
The Guess Who - American Woman (1970)
The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar (1971)
Grand Funk Railroad - We're an American Band (1973)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (1976)
Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 (1980)
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'n Roll (1982)
Eye of the Tiger and Livin on a Prayer actually go pretty hard but I'll be count them as pop, same with Jump and You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet

>>126779476
You're talking from a place of not knowing what you're talking about.

>>126780418
You're coping from a place of illiteracy and lack of experience

>How I really am
A talentless faggot then?

>>126778964 (OP)
>AI overview
>dropped

>>126779978
and yet in the scope of history, it remains THE genre

>>126779786
It's also due to subgenrefagging's crab mentality that didn't let any popular rock band to rise up, as rock fans were infighting and actively boycotting any rising bands that didn't fit into their personal subgenre niche, instead of letting them be and being glad that some rock bands were getting the spotlight away from pop and rap slop, even if they didn't personally like these rock bands.
Oh well, rockists did that to themselves.

>>126781180
Reminds me of how back in the 2000's there would be SMS battles on music channels, where you could send a paid SMS to vote for which band would get more airplay on the weekend or some shit. Even as a teenage autismo I thought that was stupid.

>>126778964 (OP)
What if I play guitar but only play jpop and vocaloid songs

>>126779574
this

>>126780344
>Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 (1980)
disco song btw

>>126778992
>Genre that only exists because of the invention of the electric guitar is music incarnate
lul

>>126779022
it's a deliberate demoralization campaign. they're fighting the chuds or something

nickelback is a pop band though

>>126778964 (OP)
this is probably the best time to get into it now that no one gives a fuck

you know that guitar isn't just used in rock music right?

>>126778964 (OP)
Yeah I realized this. I might try to pick up guitar when I'm retired with nothing to do as a curiosity. But really, nobody is impressed by guitar anymore. Better to be some 7/10 thot with autotune vocals or something.

Who is the equivalent to someone like Chet Baker today? Is it Radiohead?

>>126780279
not rock neither is coldplay

>>126780305
girlfriend was rock so what was not

>>126778964 (OP)
Sorry but is Benson Boone "Beautiful things" not considered rock? How is it not

>>126782505
Wow would you look at that, a man with a guitar in the Beautiful Things video.

>>126780519
this
ai overview is one of the worst "innovations" to tech i've ever seen. i filter it with ublock because it's so bad

>>126782640
Who even uses google anymore? lmfao. Worst search engine. And AI is literally the best for searching most things. Get with the times, granpa

Imagine being a temporarily embarrassed pop star in any year.

>>126778964 (OP)
All commercial popular music is created by the COA to get kids addicted to drugs, alcohol, social media, and crime

>>126782530
dreadfully corporate guitar colour.

>>126784527
ai gives incorrect information all the time

>>126778964 (OP)
Trap is dead, guitar is the future. Every girl under 25 think it’s cool

>>126786042
>Every girl under 25 think it’s cool
That's not useful if you're a 30+ millennial.

>>126778964 (OP)
AM by the Monkeys was #1 in America

>>126786119
i'm 29 and slay zoomer pussy so idk about that homie

>>126786195
>not 30
>arguably a zoomer
Well you didnt refute a god damn thing he said

>>126786210
i'm turning 30 in a few months...

but if you think it's hard to fuck an early 20s girl when you're in your 30s your problem isn't your age

I hate rock fans

>>126786456
This. Rock is dead for a reason. That kind of old person sleaze just ain't gonna do it in 2025. Like come on, we hear about sexual harassment controversies from sleazy old men all the time now. The people resonate better with Shawn Mendes singing a moody alternative tune about treating girls better then he can. The people want feminist Doja Cat anthems about not needing men. The days of wild sex and drugs are so far behind us it might as well be prehistoric times.

>>126786712
that shawn mendes thing was 10 years ago nigger

>>126786726
I still hear it on the radio every day. It never goes away. None of the shitty meme songs do.

>>126784527
I asked Grok for a list of #1 rock songs and it included a Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men song, I think there was only 2 other 90s songs. It also agreed about the Nickelback one being the last #1 rock song.

>>126786748
do you live in like czechoslovakia or something

>>126781255
>Even as a teenage autismo
as a teen autist myself this to me sounds like one of those moments when we see more sense and rationale over the normies

>>126781616
>>126778997

>>126781616
>the genre only exist because of the invention of the greatest instrument of all time

>>126779022
I get what you mean but spelling out the truth to them is like telling a bunch of degenerates that they're gonna be burning in hell for sucking cock. They don't care.

>>126784742
>All commercial popular music is created by the (made up word) to get kids addicted to drugs, alcohol, social media, and crime

>>126786119
>30+ millennial.
you mean the things zoomer girls love the most?

>boomer starts playing rock music

>>126786712
>just ain't gonna do it in 2025.
>implying any year in these modern times has any intrinsic value

>>126778964 (OP)
THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME

>>126786956
lul. what is this ancient ass show?

>>126786712
No, I hate rock fans because they care more about mainstream relevancy than the music itself. Fuck them

>>126786977
still more timely than a 100 year old man playing the same blues scales for 60+ years mang

guitarless music sounds thin and small

>>126778964 (OP)
Imagine following the entertainment industrial complex. oy vey even.

>>126778964 (OP)
Welp, time to become a rock superstar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4VpE-0zitU

>>126778964 (OP)
cRap and POoP ruined everything

>>126786712
You're a lame retard. Continue being delusional in your parents basement. Literally none of this matters and no one cares lol. People still fuck and get drunk and high

>>126787414
They smoke marijuana in their dingy apartments and have cybersex in VR. It's not the same.

>>126786999
You're gonna really hate turning 30 aren't you? Sad how delusional you are

>>126787431
I live near the beach and I see tons of zoomer girls having fun probably drunk and high and they're outside. Shame you can't go outside to see any of that

>>126787435
lmao sure thing bud, make sure you get your polident ready before you put you boring old man music on your hifi boomer

zoomer girls will physically cringe if you start rapping. guitars on the other hand are still or again seen as cool and interesting.

>>126787530
MGK thought this and it didn't go too well for him.

>>126787598
His problem is that he's MGK and nothing can fix that.

>>126787598
millennials and early zooms have no understanding of guitar music. failed generation. tiktok girls these days are more cultured

>>126787623
Women in general are more conservative and less experimental but I get what you mean it a bad culture

>>126787357
Really cool production. As far as rap goes it's pretty rich, song structure, climax, everything

>>126786042
>>126787530
I had my niece and her friends over the other week, they're all around 18-20. I played them a little something and showed them my guitar collection and they didn't give a single shit. They just went "oh cool" then started blabbering amongst themselves about whatever zoomer sluts are into nowadays. Maybe it's cause I'm just seen as the faggy uncle but damn they could at least pretend be interested.

>>126787765
it's probably cuz you're a huge loser lol

>>126787765
I have a clip for you https://youtu.be/UZlSeuU6np4?si=5fM6gmoweXusJ1zo

>>126787765
Imagine if a woman showed you her shoes collection, would you be interested?

>>126787765
it's funny to think that if it were the 70's-90's they would have thought you were the coolest person ever
