New Rock Sub-genre

[rmak]

So the 70's have what is now called "classic rock"

the 80's have "punk rock"

the 90's was a lot of "alternative rock"

 

what is the 2000's? something that relates bands like white stripes, strokes, vines, killers, franz ferdinand maybe?

 

these new bands all kinda sound dancy in a punk kinda way.

 

how bout "Dance Rock" ???

[Crusader]

Pop rock. Hah, not the candy.

[Matt]

Several of the bands you listed there are considered to be Garage Rock though. Even though Garage Rock is a fairly old term, it's still what it's considered to be...

ya, their kind of NewWave-sh, the 2000's haven't found a title yet, we're barely half walf into the decade. I think so far, we're still into Alternative Rock, and Rap is big too

[saturnine]

i think 'shit' pretty much covers it

[cavalier_eternal]

i think everything's sorta melding together, like music always does... look at music. the artists that stand the test of time do not tend to limit themselves to a 'genre' or whatever. they draw on all their influences.

 

if i was to be a musician, i would have some crazy different stuff.

 

classical, light electronic/mixing, hard rock, mellow, classic rock, soft rock, punk, acoustic, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

 

why bother classifying it...

 

music is music.

[Kumquat]

I like 'dance rock'...

EMO

 

aka. I want to kill myself rock.

[HoboFactory]

Only the 1st 1/2 of the decade has elapsed, I think by 2010 we'd know for sure what to call it.

[Ravenous Yam]

Yeah that sounds pretty accurate.

[no yu begin wher i end]

We'll know what to call it 10 years from now. Until then, I'd go with indie rock.

[HoboFactory]

Oh boy, that's something to mark your calendar for! Years from now we'll know what to call the predominant style of rock of the first decade of the 21st century. Wooo! What a time to be alive that's gonna be!

[no yu begin wher i end]

I can barely sleep at night. It's gonna be a long decade.
