How could rock music die, after being so influential for so long?

The n word

a big demographic shift in the west

People downloading shit for free (guilty), video games (low attention span), social media being the perfect format for models/actors larping as musicians (rap/pop stars), record companies investing everything into marketing said hacks to zoomers (zero standards).

0/10 racebait, everyone knows how much more crazier the metal scene in LA is compared to the US and Europe

i'm not race baiting, the lowest common denominator is no longer white. I'm not saying rock is some great form of music, but it makes no sense for the industry to push something that only appeals to ~50 percent of the youth market. hip hop and r&b is a much wider net

spics are the biggest metalheads

Nogs, they took over culture as revenge and rock is too "why pipo"

ok OP said rock, i don't know what planet you live on but whatever you are talking about, Sepultura type shit has never been popular or normal

The music industry as a whole changed, ever notice how fewer people are actually famous these days? The industry itself has narrowed a lot more because there is less money to be spread around, also consider rock genres while they got huge still weren't more popular than "pop" music and still catered to somewhat niche audiences, albeit bigger ones than today. Now, all of rock is basically a niche itself because there just isn't room for the mainstream to promote 10 different styles of music like they used to, they just focus on general pop for the masses and "urban" in terms of who they promote

Also obligatory rock music is still being made post, it's just more niche now, if you can't find new rock bands you simply aren't looking cause I bet all genres have new artists that are simply not mainstream. What's different is that record labels aren't paying to push it in front of your face like pop stars and rappers still are

undeserved based digits. explain your retarded take or kys

it's been 60 years, the creative possibilities are all explored, the low hanging fruit has all been plucked, and the industry isn't in a position to sink money into bands that take years to become profitable. There's also so many things you just can't do with acoustic drums and electric instruments that you can with DAWs, and that's wherre the creative and commercial frontier of music is today.

Rock fans refused to pay
>no money = record labels dropped it for more profitable options

Literally everybody stopped buying records towards the early to mid 2000s, by the time you get to 2008 you got a smartphone and streaming services like Spotify and that was it.

Rock is never coming back because no one will fund it, it's over. Dead as jazz.

>There's also so many things you just can't do with acoustic drums and electric instruments that you can with DAWs
you can incorporate more than just "rock band" instruments into rock
bands have been using synths, other keys, brass, pretty much anything you can think of for so long. Some of the detailed "post" effects like post-recording automation, complex effect/instrument emulation like digital reverbs, granular synthesis, and emulated modular synthesis, can only be achieved in a studio but other than that anything that can be done with a DAW can be done by a "rock" band lol. Not to mention that rock bands use DAWs to make their records...

it's easier for execs to financially exploit one person than a whole band

>bands have been using synths, other keys, brass, pretty much anything you can think of for so long

i think you just answered your on question faggot
your shits retarded and you talk like a fag

For like 20 years from 1995-2015 mainstream rock was Post Grunge butt rock with nu metal sprinkled in
It alienated everyone that didn't like Nickelback and FFDP
Brief detours like QOTSA, SOAD, and pop punk/emo couldnt save the genre
It died cause the worst fucking shit was pushed for some reason

hip hop culture became mainstream culture

This.

rocks not dead, the new band's just suck
but the old bands and songs still get millions of streams. jazz and classical are more dead than rock

Rock died because it's not as memeble, rock has always been a party genre, all the art rock stuff is shit, music at the moment needs memeabilily since people don't throw parties anymore, so wanna see rock come back create meme rock like negative XP, that's the only way.

Hip hop survives loudness war mastering better and is cheaper to produce.
