Le rock est-il mort ? (Director's Cut)

Le rock, c'était aussi associé aux groupes qui animaient les bals du samedi soir ou des fêtes de village, avec force bière et baston général une fois sur deux ! Avec l'arrivée des discothèques à DJ et la mort des bals montés, le rock est devenu rien qu'une musique pour concert et a perdu son essence festive.

C'est bien ce que je disais, c'est en Allemagne !
Et pis d'abord c'est pas du rock, c'est du twist. Le twist a été inventé pour ceux qui n'arrivaient pas à danser le rock

...
J’ai passé le samedi soir sur la grande terrasse d’une micro brasserie à la frontière belge, genre guinguette.
C’était noir de monde et le groupe enchaînait les titres rock “grand public”. C’était noir de monde. Pas des gamins forcément mais super ambiance.
Bon…sur la fin le dj a basculé du rock aux habituelles varietoches de fête de village, Belgique oblige

Malle Poste à Warneton ?

En tant que musique le rock est toujours vivant, c'est tout le cadre dans lequel il se vivait qui est fini et enterré.

Well, your CD collection
Looks shiny and costly
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend
On your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now, tickets to concerts
And drinking at clubs
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of
And how much did you pay for
Your rock 'n' roll T-shirt
That proves you were there, that you heard of them first?
Now, how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
Oh, tell me
Aw, yeah, all right
All right
Oh, yeah, all right, aw
How much did you pay
For the chunk of his guitar
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay
For a brand-new guitar
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers
Keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones
And how long will the workers
Keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones
Aw, yeah, aw, yeah
Aw, yeah, all right, ha
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh, no
Aging black leather and hospital bills
And tatoo removal and dozens of pills
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments
But rock on completely with some brand-new components
Now, how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
All right, aw, yeah
So good, oh, baby
Excess ain't rebellion
You're drinkin' what they're selling now
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them
Your chaos won't convert them
They're so happy to rebuild it
You'll never really kill it, aw, yeah
Excess ain't rebellion
You're drinkin' what they're selling, oh
Excess ain't rebellion, oh
You're drinkin', you're drinkin'
Aw, yeah, you're drinkin' what they selling
Aw
Yeah, all right
Aw
Yeah
All right

Mais ce n'en est plus, de la bonne musique, c'est bien pour ça que personne n'en écoute. Il n'y a pas le dixième de la créativité qu'il y avait dans les décennies 60-70-80-90. À un moment t'as fait le tour, les gens créatifs sont partis ailleurs et c'est normal.

La créativité, on pourrait en parler longtemps. J'aurais plutôt dit l'urgence, la frénésie de ces années. La réelle créativité était très loin d'être généralisée, quelques réels génies et beaucoup de suiveurs plus ou moins doués, et, ce qui est toujours oublié a posteriori, une masse immense de produits de grande consommation le plus souvent tombés dans les oubliettes de l'histoire. On ne garde en mémoire que les tout bons, mais ils ne représentaient qu'une petite portion de ce qui passait dans les medias.

Le rock est-il mort ? C'est la couve de Rock'n folk depuis des décennies.

Le Metal survit mais le rock ne sert plus qu'à agrémenter les BO de films et séries pour signifier que ça va bastonner.
