I agree with you x-man we have a very limited free speech.....Clear channel communicatios owns all most all Modern rock stations as well as counrty and top 40....they set the formats..and control what the nation listens to..with hardly any compitition...the radio stations are basicaly the same from town to town these daya with very little reginalism.....also i think payola and sexola are much bigger problems than most people think these days

The 90's alt-rock movement is dead, but alternative music isn't, in the sense that reasonably good music is still being produced outside the mainstream. If anything, with the Majors focusing on the current new-rock sound, the Indie scene -- the alternative to that mainstream -- has only gotten more diverse and interesting. Geez, what's with the essays? It's pretty straightforward.

I think it's true that the main reason for the descent of the quality of rock music is just that the bands these days are too scared and lazy to really try to attack peoples values. By that, I don't mean be as ridiculous as possible, just to be different.

music never dies, it just changes, and if you don't like it, then thats your fucking problem. i don't want to be the equivalent of a 50 year old rocker in leather jacket and blue jeans when i get older.
alternative rock isn't dead, but maybe rock is a little broke |

As long is there is a mainstream then there has to be an alternative which consists of music that does not sound like acceptible mainstream music. It slips around, alternative music isn't dead, it's just that what was alternative a few years ago is mainstream now. The two things co-exist and shape each other. The mainstream develops quicker than the alterniative so we are just in a stage right now where a shift is starting to take place.

Stapp on VH1, talking about hearing Tremonti playing metal riffs for the first time...
"OK. That's not really what I'm into right now, but you're all I've got." I find that really inspiring. By the way, I'm not really into techno right now, but I'm going to start DJing because I want to famous and all I've got is this drum machine. See what happens when Tremonti quits. Should be interesting. |

I guess the other question that goes hand in hand with the topic is does being alternative have more importance than being good.
I mean, Soundgarden, SP, although it was "alternative music" it was also really good. If a band made something that sounded like that, but it was really good, would you be less inclined to respect it because of it's link with the past |

but when a band sounds like another band that already existed, and isn't that good or at least somewhat original, I don't think it's interesting. I don't think that Scott Stapp would have sung like he does if he had never heard Vedder. ------------------ Mallow http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/5226.jpg |

this thread is gayer than richard simmons.
nirvana not meant to be big? please. the "grunge" scene WAS exploding at the time BEFORE they began recording nevermind. (ever hear of subpop? it was getting bigger). the corporate labels catch a hold, sign nirvana (and many others), produce nevermind and lead the nation to believe that that was the record that broke grunge. its rock and roll. there aint anything alternative about it. ------------------ I can suck my own ****.
