I'm having the impression that rap is dying and rock and metal are on the rise.

>>126782873 (OP)
Thats because zoom zooms and gen alpha are gigachuds compared to gen x and millenials and rock and metal are chuddier than rap and pop. Also they can't play and sing for shit so rock and metal being on the rise just means they listen to old shit lmao or make cover bands pretending to be actual bands like those faggots from greta van fleet

>>126782873 (OP)
>/mu/ since 2019

Rap is dying but rock/metal aren't rising
Right now fag pop is whats "hot".
Normies also like country again

>>126782929
>Normies also like country again

only because of the pandemic (nostalgia for wasted time) and the absence of rock music

plenty of white people in this country who hate redneck shit, and only "tolerate" country in small doses. Pop will always be around, but I think rock will make a resurgence.

>>126782873 (OP)
There's definitely a resurgence of interest in boomer and Gen X rock

>>126782873 (OP)
People have been saying that for 20 years now. Rock is dead, get over it.

>>126782929
country has always been popular, rap is the #1 genre in the US and worldwide, "fag pop" is a pleonasm

>>126782997
>rap is the #1 genre in the US and worldwide
>all the notable rappers are old -heads who peaked 25-30 years ago
yeah about that

>>126782873 (OP)
Rock/metal does usually do better when Republicans are in power, yes.

>>126782898
>chuds
why do you talk like a nerd from a 1980s comedy?

>>126782994
>People have been saying that for 20 years now. Rock is dead, get over it.

but will replace rap? Rap is clearly on the way out

>>126782997
>rap is the #1 genre in the US and worldwide

lol, rap is heavily domestic oriented and even then it's declining outside of black people

>>126782873 (OP)
Everything is dying across the board. Rock and metal are too difficult to make as zoomers don't play instruments so it's never gonna rise up other than the odd band here and there popping up.

>>126782873 (OP)
Big Beat revival will sweep all this filth away.

>>126782873 (OP)
if by rock and metal you mean country yes

>>126782873 (OP)

tl;dr you're wrong

>>126783156
you're deeply retarded

>>126783344
>washed up has-beens and literallywhos
This isn't making a good case for anything really.

>>126783064
>Rock/metal does usually do better when Republicans are in power, yes.
rap peaked in the late 2010s retard

>>126783050
>all the notable rappers are old -heads who peaked 25-30 years ago
bait used to be believable

>>126783050
>all the notable rappers are old -heads who peaked 25-30 years ago
You're describing rock music.

>>126783450
>>126783433
>>126783469
he's right though. Dre, Cube, Fiddy, Jay-Z. old niggaz are old, man.

>>126783432
>literallywhos
nice way to tell us you're extremely out of touch, and no you can't be a "washed up has-been" if you're at the peak of your career (literally the opposite)

>>126783432
All the rock artist on that list precede the rap artist by decades, if you’re arguing rock is coming back to life based on older rap artist being the most successful you’re doing a poor job

>>126783526
>and no you can't be a "washed up has-been" if you're at the peak of your career (literally the opposite)

By most definition of the world Kendrick, TTC, Radiohead, A7X all peaked a long time ago.

>>126783512
will you boomer old -heads go back to '93 and stay there? Pac ain't coming back from the dead.

Rap isn't music anyway so...

>>126783545
Kendrick had his best selling year this previous year

>>126783545
yeah lol did you hear Tyler's last album? still doing the same schtick from 2012.

if by rock you mean pop with occasional metalcore parts

This year has been a bit bleh because the industry lost their wokebucks and haven't figured out what to do next.

Rap will die, rock is dead, metal will die, pop will die, chamber music is the future.

plagiarizing bitch

never trust your "impressions", you'll be probably wrong 100% of the time.

>pop slop is pop slop.
WOOOOW WHO KNEW.

>>126783554
You must really love emo rap or whatever gay shit is on tik tok
