Rap isn't music

Metallica were never rockstars you retard. They were never that popular and their members never had strong personalities. The last rockstars of metal were Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, then they all turned into nerds

Rock isn't music

Hell yeah brother, music is shit. I listen to cacophonous rhythmic noise with a small hint of melody.

rock/metal became dadcore

>listening to black metal

are you retarded? metallica is one of the biggest bands ever, they are way more popular than sabbath or priest.

60yo or hipster?

>one is played by a band playing their own instruments in sync with each other to make the song
>one is a guy talking over some beat a 5 year could make with a computer
HMMMM

Nowadays we only have singers, no musicians.

I mean they were never that popular when they were actually good (80s)

This but unironically. Man, this ain't rock

Is this 1995? All the great names in rap were, like, 25-30 years ago.

A ton of rock songs are just a 4/4 beat with a couple of open/power chords.

yes, and? it's still real people playing the music

Singers are musicians, though. Your average pop star has more musical ability than Kurt Cobain lmao.

Still beats a nigger with a laptop mumbling over samples

Your average modern top 40 hip-hop beat takes significantly more musical knowledge than 90% of the dogshit post-grunge/nu-metal bands from the 90s or the terrible arena rock we were subject to in the 70s and 80s. Most mainstream rock music is braindead as fuck to create and play and always has been.

Rammstein is still alive and kicking

This gnome is the farthest thing from a rockstar

"Rock stars" were by and large posturing faggots. Rock is far more genuine today without the money grubbing influence of the top 40.

>forgetting about Billy Corgan

This user knows

still terrible too.

No, rockstars are the very root of the thing. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Jim Morrison, Keith Richards and Iggy Pop were all wild men who lived lavish lives, no posturing. Stop coping for your lack of personality
Like Lemmy said
>'if you wanna be a rockstar go be a rockstar, no one wants to see their neighbour onstage’
