I'm having one of my frequent genre based crises at the moment.

Someone explain the difference between 'rock' and 'classic rock' for me please.

K, thanks.

I am saying farewell, I am joining a forum where people are more mature and will not be posting on this lame forum anymore. Nice chattin with y'all.

Imagine every overhyped Rock band from the 60s or 70s you can think of, and that's Classic Rock.

Kashmir, you still haven't responded to my post. I had to actually read and respond to that bullshit you posted (and then you complained when I hadn't made my argument), the least you can do is return the favor.

Or do you have nothing to say?

So in 30 years will anything that's overhyped from today be classic rock as well, or will it be nu-classic rock?

Haha, I never thought about that. Post-Classic?

forgotten hopefully

i personally think some bands will be considered classic rock 30 years from now.. but what i don't know.. but for the most part i think alot of it will be forgotten :o(

Absolutely right. MTV is the most listened to Music Channel, so they must be doing something right. Even if you do not like what they play, you are not limited to that. There are plenty more good artists just begging to be found. And someone must like MTV because they sure as hell have a large empire not, what with MTV2, MTVBase and everything. Those who say that MTV should be stopped because it is ruining music should walk home in shame, because MTV plays songs that MTV plays. You can't change it, and there are many people who love MTV. I'm not one of those people, but I don't go on about how MTV is ruining music. It is simply giving MTV fans the music that they want. Those that aren't content with listening to the music MTV offers should just search the Net, like Urb said.

Genres today are established, they'll most likely just go down as what they are.
MTV actually plays some underground bands (well MTV2), at like 2:00am though =/
I was watching videos by alot of bands we dicuss here.
