Posters Cite Economic and Cultural Factors in Rock's Decline

Wesley Yang posted that rock music declined without much notice. @feelsdesperate suggested attenuated teen libidinal energy from online life, hormone issues, medication, and porn. @ReubenR80027912 blamed exhausted chord sequences after the 1960s and 1970s plus lost confidence after 9/11. @Decentguyusedto said rock was essentially dead by the late 1980s after a short grunge revival. @jtLOL countered that new rock bands still exist. @elite_gz pointed to streaming favoring old music and digital production ending rock's dominance. @o_reachtaire noted low album sales and cheap tickets make it hard for bands to earn.
