lmao i love the inherent patting of self on back whenever someone says "rock is dead"so hip now with it and wow
so hip now with it and wow
i mean, it kinda is, or at least on life support...i don't really have any positive or negative opinions on that fact tho, and good bands that play rock music are still good bands obvs, i do believe war on drugs is one of them

I don't know what "rock is dead" even means but it sure sounds cool to say.
― Evan, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link
I saw an "ART IS DEAD" sign in someones window. I don't know what that means either, though I bet that person is pretty edgy.
― Evan, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
yeah i'm not sure either. "rock" has become many things; i feel like a lot of the music i listen to wouldn't exist without "rock" but some people here might not consider it "rock."
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
the whole notion of relevance seems really boring to me and less and less important when everything's just a big mess on the internet and spotify now
if there are good bands then it's not dead or if it is dead and there are still good bands then who cares if it's "dead"? i don't care about big outsized bono/woodstock notions about rock having to be big or an important cultural force

"We're so sick of seeing Picassos sell for millions of dollars just because they say Picasso. You know, people aren't looking at the art any more, they're looking at the signature. And "Not Art" in itself is a signature."- bob marley

If he posted "not art" on a famous work, say starry night or even better the mona lisa he would be on to something (something = footnote mention in art history books)

Actually, Twigs at 4 in he Uncut list is pretty jaw dropping. Related to the departure of Allan Jones?
