>>212999268>those are gay genresMy point is they were the last human music to enter the mainstream. The last time you saw normies sitting around listening to songs written and performed by creative people with instruments in their hands, those were Fallout Boy and MCR songs. The alternative was hip hop, which during the boom bap era was also written and performed by rappers and turntablists.
>rock and rap were trash from 2005-2012Yes, they died out during that time. Rock was later completely forgotten (in the mainstream) and rap changed into something else. They both got eaten by top 40 pop/dance music.
