Rock is the new Pop eh?

I don't think that everybody is against me (sometimes I do, but not in here). In contrast to that: I'm quite happy that I found a place where people (mostly) share my taste... And - maybe you didn't get the impresson - I like the fact that people discuss in here, there's nothing wrong bout critic (if it is justified)...
It's better to have an opinion that gets criticized than noone...like all these mainstream-people.
And sorry, but I didn't get u: Do ya mean that I like this kinda music cause it's "en vogue"? Please don't mind if it's only a misunderstanding, but I need to tell u that it's definitly not like that.
Well, I'm sure you're a nice person, too & I'm looking forward to a new discussion...

seeing as the US is the centre of the music industry, i'll use it as an example. rock music sales make up 24.8% of music sales, more than any other genre of music. pop sales are 11%, RnB 9.7%, rap 12.9%, country 10.7% and so on. thus rock is the most populatr genre of music. take that to a worldwide scale and its exactly the same overall.

Josephine · 05-21-2005, 01:03 PM

aha, good to know... but that wouldn't make me like rock music...

Imonlydancing · 05-21-2005, 01:09 PM

huh? anyhoo...Josephine, where are you from?
yeah, seems like theres a lot more Rock being produced nowadays, and people are starting to realise what good music is...i suppose...

i wasnt suggesting you like rock music because its the in thing, i said i dont understand how everyone can be against your taste in music when rock is the most popular genre of music certainly in western culture.

Josephine · 05-21-2005, 01:18 PM

Aahh, now I got u... but I said already that u shouldn't mind if it's a misunderstanding...

Yeah, I actually think so, too: More people who like Rock music - that can't be wrong!

Imonlydancing, I'm from germany... That's why there're still many people who don't share my taste. Some over here a real dump!

Imonlydancing · 05-21-2005, 01:24 PM

Josephine...are you english? cos your english is pretty good.
it does seem like rocks the new thing, and i think its quite good, at least then on the radio something decent might be playing...

Josephine · 05-21-2005, 01:35 PM

No, I'm not english (sometimes I wish I was)... But it's very flattering that a Brit like u could think that.

I like the UK cause music is much better over there.

Tell me something bout London's Indie-scene! I saw u talking bout that in the new thread and I got curious....

Sneer · 05-21-2005, 01:39 PM

its based mostly in east end whitechapel area, spawning a lot of low key. raw indie pop bands like the rakes, cherubs, cribs, paddingtons etc. then you have the two bands that have had some commercial success- the libertines and the others. its all very basic, slapdash rock and roll but very good nevertheless. all the bands have websites if you want to check them out.
