Rock And Roll Isnt The Same As It Used To Be
Rock music is defiantly not the same as it used to be. Rock music has changed a great deal from the sixties until now. Each decade had a different spin on rock music. You have Elvis in the sixties, which he is the king of rock. In the seventies there is a lot of bands such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimmi Hendrix, etc. Even the eighties weren't too shabby, if you ask me.

One day I was watching MTV and a Good Charlotte video was on and the head singer was dancing like he was in a rap video. Does this sound like rock to you? What happened to the head banging while playing the guitar? There are bands in today's society that are keeping it real. All I'm saying is rock music is still not like it used to be. It's hard to even compare rock music from the sixties till present day. Old rock speaks for itself in general, but it is easier to look at more recent years and see how rock took a plunge. Nirvana was huge in the nineties, and Kurt just flat out killed...
