I used to be obsessed with pop and hip hop about 2 years ago. Then my dad showed me how i was sort of copying every body elses music taste.

My dad himself HATES r&b and hip hop. He detests it.

I didnt listen to him at first but then last year i was getting pretty into rock music. It started with muse, then linkin park , paramore, then evenescence. Now its things like Killswitch Engage, Young guns, breaking benjamin.

The music and lyrics are amazing. Theyre just so deep and relate to actual serious life situations.

When i tell people that pop, hip hop and r&b dont really mean much most of the time, they get annoyed. But its true. I mean, the lyrics are all about the same thing, love, girls, boys, sex, money, popularity and fame. What the hell.

Why is rock unpopular. Its not right. Dont get me wrong anyone out there who doesnt like rock but doesnt it seem that rock should have more credit than it does at the moment. The lyrics mean something.

So please explain to me why rock music is so unpopular compared to the popular majority of pop, R&B and hip hop.

Clear explanation please and no abusive or off topic responses. Thanks,
 
well all those bands you mentioned are NOT rock for god's sake.......... well this is wat is called rock
Led Zeppelin
the who
guns n roses
iron maiden
ac/dc
pink floyd
rolling stones


and you are wrong rock music is very much popular except among some teens who listen to pop and crap ...... if you combine all the rock artists they would have sold more than 3 billion albums worldwide which can never be overtaken by hiphop and pop..... they ve had the most number of singles topping the charts ...... their albums have spent an incredible 748 weeks on billboard charts ... their songs are the most requested on radio
 
None of the bands you mentioned are actual Rock. Most of them aren't popular because they're generic and repetitive. No offense, that's just why I think they're not popular.
 
It is popular to those who know it.

People are just ignorant.
The majority of what is popular now a days shouldnt even be considered "music"...
And the "artist" dont deserve to hold that title. Its all auto-tune..

Idk. But I like that your father taught you the good stuff :)
Now go listen to some Metallica, Megadeth, and some Five Finger Death Punch :D
