"That period has passed because now there are many alternative social mediums. Rock and roll needs a context in which to exist. "It doesn't exist anymore. It's ceased to be culturally relevant.

Very perceptive. I'm shocked that rap lasted longer than a few years, and that rap and dance have displaced rock. They're very monotonous.

There was so much variety and great music in Rock's hey-day, which I would peg from '67-'79.

But it's cheap to produce. Disposable "flavor of the month" acts.

Do you have any idea how technical guitar playing became in the 1980s? Think Les Paul, but in front of saturated Marshall stacks.

Too bad disco isn’t dead either. Whether it is 70s or house music, it all is repetitive machination of sounds designed for drug fueled boinking.
