Is Rock music dead?

[jame]

I read an article recently that maintained the the popularity of country, pop, and rap have relegated rock to a burner so far back it’ll never return.  

Also, it mentioned that most popular music today is a product of market analytics, music and sound design, and targeted promotion.  It’s no longer the product of an individual that writes the music and lyrics, as well as playing and singing in a studio or live in front of an audience.

If true, this saddens me a bit.  I’m still discovering rock music from the past, and the thought of that discovery being hampered is a bit of a bummer.

Thoughts?

Rock isn’t close to dead

Pop is just the annoying little brother, loud but ineffective
