Sure, it will happen... it always does. Sometimes things take time and sometimes things seem to explode like Nirvana did. Just think back to a few years ago when the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC ruled the charts and airwaves. Music is slowly returning to rock... Even Rap and Hip Hop is loosing hold in the music scene. Once one band emerges the record labels will always counter with clones but things are already getting better... the bands that you mentioned...  Panic!At the Disco, Fallout Boy, My Chemical Romance, they all pretty much have no real talent but at least they are borrowing sounds from bands that we can all respect. I think that the Internet and downloading music like we do now is destroying the big record companies... things are going to revert back to the early days of rock. There are going to be less and less AOR releases and more singles... just like bands used to put out 45's with a B-track. Artists will put their own sounds out there and market themselves. Somewhere out in the world there is a hotbed of new sounds and we all wait for something fresh. Remember this though, there are not too many of us out there that would say no to a big fat record deal, everyone likes a roof that doesn't leak.

This is a question for music, not politics\n\nBut Sup Pop records has pumped out some good bands, like Nirvana

No you just have to deep a little deeper nowadays.  The difference is, when I was at school, I had a lot of friends and we were all into Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Breeders etc etc, so it was easy to find out about new music in the same genre.\n\nNow I am old(!) all the stuff that's 'mainstream' is dire, I agree, but listening to 'rock' radio stations, there is still some good stuff out there - it just needs 'finding' now that my friends have grown up, and out of their angst dammit!

Yeah. I have a CD of theirs i ganked from a guy about 7 months ago, and hes still whining for it. Hmmm, i may return it...someday. They are like old school rock, i like em.

I'll take on all three: Nirvana, Korn, Incubus, and Tool.  \nSimple enough!  Jet, Vines, Strokes are all throwback sounding bands, and will all be gone soon.

That's quite alright. I hate this new rock crap too. I like a lot of older stuff from back then like The Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Aerosmith, Elvis, & Lynyrd Skynyrd.\n\nMusic today really sucks. Except there's some good country actually.

Yeah, like do a "Behind the Music" type of thing. It would be cool.

Emoist is not a real occupation, it is just a person who supports emo music. Just like a ska to skater or punk music. It is basically the same thing.

I'd like to hear music with some substance.  With so much going on in our country today, I am surprised that popular music doesn't reflect the issues at hand.  There are some good tunes out there, but more often than not, they are not being played by the radio stations or mtv.  It seems like whenever I turn on my radio I hear "My Humps" or that "Crazy Bitc*" song.  Or that "Hate me Today" song or some other song about sex/women's bodies/or self loathing. bllllaaaah.    \nI was in college when September 11th happened and one of the things I noticed is how MTV stopped playing music like Britney Spears or the boy bands or rap.  They put on old videos of bands that actually HAVE messages in their music like U2, Pearl Jam, etc.   So they know they are playing crap, they just don't care, unless of course there is a tragedy.   Personally I'd like to hear music like that ALL of the time and I'd like our youth to hear that music, too.

I agree 100%.  These bands today are all toe gazers, constantly depressed.  Dio has a very good new album out.  I'd kill for a Grand Funk Railroad reunion.  The problem is a lot of these older bands have just one original member.   I saw Iron Butterfly about 10 years ago and the singer was the only original member and he was so smashed he could barely stand up.  Bring back the NWOBHM.  Tygers of Pan Tang, Scorpions, Accept just to name a few.  Rock on and Rock hard.

Hope you don't mind a Boring Old Fart weighing in on this one but you're running into the same thing that every counterculture throughout history has had to deal with. One of the establishments most tried and true tactics is to co-opt both the message & the means of getting that message out & turn these into mindless pap that threaten nobody's peace of mind. For all the stereotypes (many well deserved) of boring stoned out hippies too wasted to give a damn about anything, the counterculture in the 60's started out full of anger about freedom of speech, war, the environment , etc. The media largely ignored these issues & concentrated on the drugs & styles, Madison Avenue turned the counterculture into an advertising strategy to sell oodles of the corporate garbage that we were supposedly against, sickening no-talents like the Osmonds had Top 40 hits with "protest" songs about universal love & the environment. The truly comitted like you finally wore out beating their heads against both the established order & all the wannabes that had the look down right & took all the right drugs but couldn't be bothered with the issues that fueled the counterculture in the first place. These tactics obviously worked well then & have stayed in place since. You're also running into the fact that most people are AFRAID to get truly angry. This requires effort & upsets all the things that make them comfortable. Why listen to somebody like Bad Religion that requires actual involvement with the music & actual thinking about whats being said when you can turn on some mindless pap background noise that requires no effort at all?\nAll you can do is keep the faith in the music & issues that you believe in, keep your anger alive but don't let it turn into "whats the use " resignation, see all the lies & bullcrap in front of you & don't swallow any of it, and hope for the day when & if people finally wake the hell up and see what little drones we've all too willingly let ourselves be turned into. Don't lose the anger, USE the anger!!!

How about just coming up with an original style of your own and not ripping off other people's styles?  That right there is punk as f*ck.\n\nI hate people who think they have to dress or act a certain way just because they prefer a certain genre of music.  Do me a favor, go to a punk show dressed completely in urban clothes (roca, phat pharm, whatever is trendy in urban clothing)... that too would be punk as f*ck.

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.

You know? I rather prefer hearing Kim Carnes singing Crazy in the night.\n\nWonder what ever happened to this good tunes?\nNo one does them anymore, just plain good rock songs.\nAll we see is ugly covers that embarrassed even the dead!
