The bad conventional wisdom is that people don& #39;t like rock music anymore and if there& #39;s any truth to that it& #39;s because of the tidal wave of truly awful mainstream rock music in the 2000s
FWIW, rock music is very popular, it& #39;s just over-categorized to the point that the audience is scattered and lots of things that are popular rock music are not considered to be rock for reasons often rooted in hating working class people or young women
