Music is suffering because black kids don’t grow up singing in the church no more and white kids don’t start rock bands in their garage no more.

Also, love or hate it, the music industry let people specialize, now there’s less specialization.
The next Whitney Houston isn’t in vocal training right now, she is juggling her 100 online accounts trying to be executive producer product design marketing and everything all at once to promote herself.

No, but here are what a few are doing, they are pretending to trap, they are pending to drill, they are becoming the far-right wing future, and more.
We lost all the diversity in terms of popular music.
I love that rap is one of the most popular and valuable music genres now, it’s been a long time coming, we as a people within the community and as fans deserve our art to be acknowledged as amazing.
But rock literally died and it’s kinda sad to see that as well. I used to fuck with Radiohead, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Joy Division, Interpol, Panic at the Disco heavy, they had different rhythms, I learned they shit via MTV & MTV2 but it was cool to see these mf rocking out literally.
Nothing else gets any true recognition now. Only Rap, Pop, and Country come out on top in terms of genres making money therefore the kids only want to dive into those things.

Damn the cut out the harmonizing/run part of the hook at the end.

Which is wild when you get their albums and realize that’s the only song they go hard on.

The whole video is a pretty good example of the incredibly fine line between parody and homage.

I really liked this rendition. It maintains the spirit of the original song in my opinion and doesn’t try to shift that tone like those weird “stripped down” power ballad covers of classic songs some people try to do.

I think FD Signifier put it best when he said he misses angry white boy music. Give these kids guitars and garages again, man.

U guys be worrying about white kids a bit too much like let’s think about something else

The absence of white people in the music industry would not detrimentally affect the music industry at all.

No it’s hard to learn an instrument. Why not just just use digital insttuments or better yet just lip sync and dance to a shitty song on TikTok!?

White families can’t afford garages anymore

* Shrinking middle class leads to less physical space and money for instruments, amps, etc. (can’t jam in an apartment complex)
* Increasingly car dependency and suburban sprawl makes it impossible for kids without cars to travel to each other’s houses
* Decreased public investment in the arts (specifically in public schools) prevents kids from being exposed to and learning music at younger ages
* Solitary tech-oriented socialization makes it easier to just download production software for musically inclined kids than to find 2-5 other musically inclined friends to jam with
* Loss of “third places” makes finding a communal space for performing and practicing music without paying an astronomical fee nearly impossible
The loss of rock music is an American policy failure, and I could not be more serious.

The fat bassist played a show in Cincy before or after this video came out. He was asking all the girls there for blowies. Creep.

A house with a garage? In this economy?
