    Stoner/doom metal is honestly closer to progressive+hard rock than metal beyond sounding like early Sabbath

    Lies, I still listen to dirtbag punk music like FIDLAR, the Mean Jeans, and Lambrini Girls.

    Similarly, math noise rock seems to be alive and well with those weird polka-dotted fellows Angine de Poitrine and electronic noise rock groups like Black Dresses.

    Anamanaguchi was also back with a rock soundtrack for the new Scott Pilgrim games, more good rock tracks that aren’t strictly metal.

      You’re right in that this person is out of the loop, but they’re right that the mainstream has moved past hard rock for the same social signifiers they used hard rock for. It you want angst and rebellion, putting on an oldies band like rolling stone won’t have the same impact that it did back then.

    You can’t kill The Metal

    The Metal will live on

    Punk Rock tried to kill The Metal

    But they failed, as they were smite to the ground

    New Wave tried to kill The Metal

    But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground

    Grunge tried to kill The Metal Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

    They failed, as they were thrown to the ground

    Yeah, might be a I wanna be special thing. I listened to a Spotify hard rock playlist s while back and it was anything but what I would consider hard rock.
