This is Tame Impala's trajectory:

InnerSpeaker (2010): cool stoner rock no one's heard of. Most of the songs are about girls rejecting him and not knowing why. Subtly brilliant.

Lonerism (2012): psych rock and he scores a big indie hit with Elephant. Gets famous overnight. Flashes some pop songwriting chops but still only known by Pitchfork geeks

Currents (2015): breakout electropop megahits. Extremely polished, mostly an electronic dance record. So good it blows everything else out of the water. Perfect blend of his original sadness, psychedelic themes, and pure pop songwriting. He's now mainstream famous, no longer a stoner geek band. But this shit is overplayed, you hear it way too much in malls and restaurants and dive bars. Beaten over the head with it.

The Slow Rush (2020): a complete dud. He married some chick from high school, moved to Malibu, was on some Kanye album, hangs with Bieber, raids Biebers wardrobe. All his interviews are about how he does drugs every day and has an autistic obsession with music production. There's literally zero catchy melodies anymore and it's completely phoned in. The record label and the media pretend like this is an achievement but I've never met anyone who likes this album besides doodikoff whose opinion is wrong and immaterial.

Deadbeat (2025): it's just trash and everyone knows it. Totally disjointed. You can tell he tried a lot harder to make this one but it's a huge miss. He's utterly cooked by now.

KP recently said he feels like it takes 2 years of touring for his new records to start fully resonating with audiences, or something like that. Maybe this will be like that? I loved this one and Currents instantly, but Slow Rush was more of a grower for me to understand the brilliance of the whole album

I did a full listen this weekend.

The new album just seems kinda low effort compared to the older stuff, which was highly complex. Not bad, I don't hate it, its Tame Impala, but I guess my prefernce is the older stuff.

If Currents was the OK Computer of Tame Impala, I don't see how the new stuff is the Kid A of Tame Impala.

Basically an electro beat with some synths, and then the signature vocals that he could do all day over any music. Kind of basic. A couple songs are catchy, but again, to me just not nearly as exciting or fresh - we've heard this stuff before many times

Yeah the new stuff sucks. I don't know why you had to paste so much unreadable shit in a depressing format for the reader. But anyway he's wrong about The Slow Rush it will never catch on it's just boring. I think what people don't realize about him is that he was always a singles band. The deep cuts were never that great. I think people were really thrown off by how good Currents was that we thought he'd just be like that forever but it was act an outlier. On the first two records there's 2-3 great songs and the rest is mediocrity. The Slow Rush is the same level of mediocrity as the album tracks we were used to but it just doesn't have any hits. I guess Borderline was supposed to be a big hit but it's just whatever. Either way he ran out of earworms. If you want an album to be great you have to have earworms. I just randomly listened to Paperback Writer and I was blown away by the earworms. The Slow Rush and Deadbeat have none. So you can hem and haw about it all day but simply there aren't any catchy melodies. It's over.

"On the first two records there's 2-3 great songs and the rest is mediocrity. "

ehh, dunno about that. Lonerism doesn't have a bad song (just did a quick spin, maybe "She Just Wont Believe Me" is kinda shit, but that's it), and I personally think that the overall quality of songs on it is just a tad below Currents. Its a fucking great album. Enders Toi is possibly my favorite Tame Impala song.

Innerspeaker is also great IMO. Not as strong overall as Lonerism, but it fucks. "Why Wont you Make Up Your Mind" is one of my favorite Tame Impala songs.

I disagree I think InnerSpeaker is way better than Lonerism. It Is Not Meant to Be is probably the best overall TI song. Agreed on Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind. Masterpiece. Desire Be, Desire Go, Jeremy's Storm are great. I think Lonerism isn't great. Elephant is a good single but it gets boring. Mind Mischief is a great riff and cool drum part but it's too repetitive. I think he has a problem where he's obsessed with loops. He does everything in Ableton so he gets stuck in loops. I just can't take the repetitiveness. The chorus is no good. It's just a riff without a great song around it. Feels Like We Only Go Backwards is a great song but his version isn't even the best version of that song. The Arctic Monkeys cover is way better. It's a great song but his rendition sucks. I think he's too in his own head. If he had just stayed writing psych rock I would have liked it a lot better.

I think that most TI fans would agree that he needs to go back to pysch rock mixed with a slight tinge of electronic - hes basically the best ever at it and its what made him famous. His drum work is absolutely top notch IMO, he single handedly brought that style back to prominence.

limp bizkits first three albums went multiplatinum. they were everywhere. you think media kikes were hamstringing them in favor of blacks? which ones?! and i guess limp bizkit was just *THAT GOOD* that they became a global hit despite (((the industry))) trying to fuck them? but then why were than on MTV every fucking day?

I'm pretty sure they made Fred Durst President of MTV or something at one point. Limp Bizkit was peak. It was everywhere. He was basically tapped to run an entire record label they thought he was the genius tastemaker who would evolve into a record mogul. They gave him the keys to the kingdom.

LB failed I think when their 4th record came out and it was a dud and people realized they were washed up creatively. They were essentially surpassed by all of the white rage hard rock acts of the 2000s. Korn, NIN, Godsmack, Metallica, Creed, Lamb of God, Slipknot ruled the roost and rap rock was out. RATM I think hung on in the public consciousness because of their superior musicianship.

Fred really was the weak link in the band. There's only so much of his whiney voice people can take. Wes was burned out too. Again that 4th record was a big let down and they seemed like they were done really trying at that point. They also never made a big comeback attempt and were content to slowly fade away. I think they just chilled and had families and did rich guy shit for a while. By the time they did come back it was so many years later and really a niche by that point. Culture moves fast it is what it is. I do think they basically achieved as much as they could for their talent level. I think they milked every drop. When they hit their creative wall it was painfully obvious they had said everything they were ever going to say.

yeah, it's crazy to see someone saying LB and white rapers were disfavored over blacks. blacks complained all the time about the exact opposite. and there was more evidence in their favor -- fred durst and eminem were on TRL everyday. but i don't think anyone was disfavored for racial reasons, white people are the biggest consumer base and in the 90s white kids were buying and consuming more white artists, so these artists got the most screentime.

i think LB faded because nu metal rap rock fell out of favor as tastes changed. while some had more success than others, linkin park, korn, etc. never reached the heights they achieved in the heyday. i think if LB's 4th album was their best one it wouldn't have changed things -- tastes had just moved on from then.

Probably true.

I think though that Linkin Park was a lot bigger than LB in the end (no pun intended). They were a massive global phenomenon, they just didn't play into mainstream culture. I think because they didn't have a ton of personality. But when Chester died there were like millions of people in Eastern Europe mourning in public like it was actually crazy. They have billions upon billions of streams. They are still a huge deal I think they were just very quiet and businesslike about it while Fred and Marshall were huge pop culture icons. I think the thing about rock is it's still a really big deal but it just doesn't cross over into the mainstream culture. I do think there was a tipping point where the Jewish controlled media decided to brush rock music aside but it seemed like this happened in the 2010s. Now they really do fawn over anything Black but that wasn't the case before.

And I think it's also interesting to note that Eminem became this well respected elder statesman of rap. I think a lot of black people really like him and he crossed over the racial barrier. He's just so talented and always pays homage to black rappers and has the left wing political views. They all seem to really like him and adopt him and don't care that he's a white guy. He essentially earned universal respect in the culture.

there's an ongoing debate in "the culture" right now about whether eminem is a GOAT-level rapper. i think it was commonly accepted that he was in the early - late 2000s, but people started shitting on him because he's "unrelatable" and "don't talk about real shit," but of course when he did an album on serious topics everyone shit on him. pretty much all respected rappers name him as one of the greats. random black doods on the internet however seem to like to shit on him these days.

he's unique in that he is truly hip hop. most white rappers move in and then leave to do rock once they get famous. even the beastie boys sorta did (but i chalk that up to their creativity), but eminem has an autistic obsession with rap and MCs.

eminem is objectively one of the best rappers and lyricists ever. you could make an argument for THE best.

I have only ever met black dudes who worship Em. So I have never seen anybody pan him. I'm pretty sure the debate is over on whether he's GOATed. Blacks love him because he embraced the culture and never turned into Aerosmith. And he has always maintained that nogs invented it and deserve full credit.

no, i promise you there are a shitload of losers on social media (insta, fb, youtube) that shit all over him and call him "mid," "corny," etc. lord jamar from grand nubian in particular disses him in interviews all the time. the game, in a clear clout-chasing move, put out a diss track called "the black slim shady" in 2022 trying to get a response (he didn't get one).

not sure when this started, but it's gay as sin. nearly all black rappers give him credit as one of the greats though.

Yeah I mean there are extremely shitty talentless rock bands that attack Jesse Lacey for hooking up with high school girls when he was in his 20s calling him a pedo when these bands can't write a tune to save their lives. There's always some losers complaining. Overall everyone with a brain respects Em because he's an actual genius at what he does.

he's also culturally nigger and came by hip hop honestly. there's always suspicion with white rappers that they are appropriating black music. sometimes this is true as you mentioned with white rappers that move on once they maek it.

hard to argue eminem is did that, especially with hindsight and seeing how he remains dedicated to the genre. i think younger people that have only known him as a superstar are more likely to criticize him for this. also, musicians, especially ones making music about the struggles of being poor, young, etc., tend to fade as they are no longer relatable to the audience. especially more honest ones like eminem that aren't going to keeping making music about how they're still poor, young etc. when they're 50 and 30 years into being multi-platinum millionaires.

he got inducted into the rock hall in 2022 and spent 90% of his speech reading names of rappers who influenced him and asked the rock hall foundation to please consider adding more of them. i really believe he'd still be rapping even if he never made it and was broke to this day.

jewish media didn't brush aside rock anymore than they brushed aside white or black rappers. especially during the period we're talking about when the influence of major media over what music gets played has massively declined.

in the 90s you needed mtv, radio, etc. to get popular exposure. much less so today. i think the decline of rock is more attributable to tastes changing as well. after all, nothing is stopping someone from listening to any artist on spotify, and people that enjoy rock still listen to rock. it's just that zoomers tend to listen to other stuff more.

Rock is #1 in every white majority English speaking country besides the United States. Odd case!

The crazy thing about the decline of rock is that by the numbers it's as popular as ever. But there is no new popular rock music (all due respect to Geese). It would be like if people quit playing baseball in the 90s but millions of people still watched replays of old World Series games and everyone knew everything about historical baseball teams, yet no one actually played baseball anymore. Classic rock has endured an arguably grown. Old rock music goes up in value every year as an asset. It's a growth asset. So the question isn't is rock still popular, but why no one can figure out how to make it anymore. If someone made a great rock record today it would be huge but no one can figure out how to do it. It has nothing to do with taste because people fire up Led Zeppelin and Creed every day en masse. No one can explain why the world has lost the ability to make new songs in a genre that's still incredibly popular.

you just said rock was brushed aside, but you're now claiming it's just as popular as ever. so which is it?

It's brushed aside from the mainstream by Jewish media executives. It is just as popular as ever. You never see it in the mainstream. But bands like Pearl Jam still have hugely successful tours. Look at Linkin Park on Spotify they are still yuge. It's obviously a really popular genre. It's the #1 genre in Canada, the UK, and Australia. Tons of rock bands had massive tours in 2025. The All American Rejects made a big comeback. Deftones has struck with the youth. You can be popular with the fans and still make no appearances at the Grammys with booty shaking Megan Thee Stallion. Don't you realize that things can be huge with the fans but have nothing to do with the industry? Walk around any public area you will see rock merch everywhere. You're arguing that Joe Rogan isn't a big deal because he's not on CNN. It's laughable. Do you not see how comical your position is? Rock bands are like podcasters. They've got their own spaces. They don't need David Geffen anymore. Jews sign nigs to exploitive rap contracts then promote em on TV and then hope they overdose so their record goes to #1. That's the Zoomer Culture you're talking about. Lol. Get real rock is still enormous. The numbers don't lie. PE firms still scrambling to find every dollar they can to invest in the Credence catalog. How are these investments growing so fast if tastes have changed? You're out of touch lol.

why do you write so many words arguing against a position you've invented i'm taking?

my position is rock is not as popular as it once was because tastes have changed. it's undeniable that it's not as popular, which is why you're resorting to PE transactions instead of billboard or spotify charts. note: this is not the same as saying rock is dead, unpopular, that old bands don't still have fans, etc. etc.

the only thing debatable is why it's less popular. you've said it's because there are NOGOODNEWROCKERS. i think that's retarded. there are plenty of great new rock bands, just like there are plenty of great new jazz and classical musicians. they're just not as popular as the artists in the genres heyday. despite the fact that every genre ebbs and flows as tastes change, you're convinced rock is different, but have no evidence to support this.

How much of the shift in taste is due to demographic changes? I agree with the other guy that the (((media))) plays a role in pushing the absolute worst shit imaginable...but there's also no way Bad Bunny (lol wtf) is headlining the Super Bowl 25 years ago.

I was at a workout class recently and the music was the typical awful bullshit. And some Sean Paul song came on and I realized "holy shit, all of this reggaeton / latino shit sounds exactly the same." It's just the same "riddim" again and again with The Same lyrics again and again.

surely demographics changes play a major role. there is a myriad of reasons why tastes change, but it's just a fact that they *do* change, especially with popular music.

i think (((the media))) plays a much smaller role than it played before. historically you needed a label to promote you and everything was controlled by big businesses. not so much anymore. as far as why bad bunny is playing the superbowl, i think it's more about these businesses trying to capture new and growing demographics than catering to existing fans. i doubt any boomer went out at bought a bad bunny album after the superbowl. however, those people are tuning in whether Bad Bunny or The Eagles play at the halftime show. meanwhile, the nfl hopes Bad Bunny will attract an audience that wouldn't have watched otherwise, and that audience is growing relative to boomers that are dying off.

basically, they're trying to capture a larger audience by playing what's popular, not trying to influence what's popular by playing it.

Jews own it, therefore you have to listen to it. Think of it this way, if you owned the rights to the film Train Dreams and you paid a lot of money to make it and you were out millions of dollars and needed to make it back, would you be interested at all in people watching Train Dreams? Would you be just as cool if someone wanted to watch Titanic which came out almost 30 years ago or would you be REALLY pinned to get people to watch Train Dreams. Music is the same way. When it comes to big music acts like Bad Bunny, the expense to the label is similar to a movie. And your ability to recoup the loss is more difficult because you don't have a world wide theatrical release, paying for streaming is a lot slimmer. But at any rate you wouldn't just not give a shit at all whether people watched Train Dreams. You would view it as a paramount necessity. And in fact you would go to great lengths to ensure that people watched it. In this analogy you are Jewish and connected and you are pushing Bad Bunny. You saw an opportunity, took it, spent millions, and now you must recoup. So what do you do? The same thing the music industry has always done. You forcememe. You plaster this guy's likeness everywhere. Interviews, TV spots, the Super Bowl. It's payola. You and your Jewish friends conspire to shove mainstream pop culture down people's throats. There's nothing organic about it. The people at your gym could easily switch the station to something else. But they don't. Because they're normies, they're brainwashed, they're low IQ. They're not savage music fans. They're Latinos who like a good beat. Simple. This is why this stuff persists. It's slop for normies run by Jews. At the end of the day the Jewish houses in Calabasas get bigger and bigger. That's the scheme and it works and that's why they do it. It's a creative process as inspiring as the effort that went into distributing a can of Goya beans to your local grocery store. It's slop for low IQ normie goyim so Cohen benefits. Remember that Pearl Jam late in their career own all their own business, go on tour every year, play massive sold out arenas, and make a ton of money for themselves and fans leave happy and they do this all with zero advertisements or marketing and Jews aren't involved at all. So does Coldplay. But you never hear about it in the news because they're no longer owned by Jews and Jews can't make any money off of it so why would they talk to about it? You only hear about properties Jews own because they own it and they'd be remiss if you didn't hear about it.

Name one great new rock band. I'll wait. Read any critical consensus on, e.g., Greta Van Fleet who legitimately had a massive rock hit by the numbers. You'd be hard pressed to find a rock fan who thinks they're "as good" as any major act from 1950 to 2010. Everyone knows new rock sucks. We should at least be able to agree on this. If you think 21 Pilots and Imagine Dragons are "just as good" as Pink Floyd, David Bowie, or Nirvana, you're insane. No one believes this. Everyone ITT even doodikoff would agree that new rock sucks. If we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that new rock is akshually bad, then I've won the debate. Because my PE argument is already rock solid. It's not based on nothing it's based on numbers. It's based on streams, tours, merchandise, and sales of physical CDs, digital downloads, and vinyls. It's based on cold hard facts. The growth is real in the same way that the valuation of the Yankees goes up every year, classic rock does too. If people didn't like it, it wouldn't go up. So there's only two possible reasons why 21 Pilots isn't as big as Nirvana. It's either because Gen Z is all brown and gay and only care about Tyler the Creator, OR they actually just suck musically which I think most everyone agrees on. I have won this flawlessly and cannot be convinced otherwise.

How much of the "old rock was better than any rock made today" is because all of the best riffs have already been done? I'm probably just not smart enough on this topic, but I always felt like a lot of the best possible rock has already been made.

It also feels a lot like white guys are spending more time making electronic music now (and have been for a decade.)

There's an infinity of riffs still out there. To the creative mind there is always more music. Musical geniuses hear genius riffs in their mind every day until they invariably burn out. Imagine telling Kevin Parker there were no more riffs when he embarked. There are always more riffs and every great band has a totally unique style. There will always be more. Electronic music sucks and is fucking gay and everyone knows it hth.

"It's either because Gen Z is all brown and gay and only care about Tyler the Creator" i.e. TASTES HAVE CHANGED

"they actually just suck musically which I think most everyone agrees on" i.e. I DON'T LIKE ZOOMER MUSIC (what every older generation thinks of the new generation's music)

of course you cannot be convinced otherwise -- having zero people agree with you has never stopped you from declaring victory. but you should at least stop saying "no one can explain" something that has been explained to you many times. you just disagree with the explanation and have invented an alternative one.

you've made the "NO GOOD NEW ROCKERS!" argument dozens of times over the course of years to explain why rock isn't as popular and every single time you get disagreement and no agreement. this isn't a gunner v. hatp argument, it's hatp versus the world.

your argument isn't even internally consistent, it's all over the place and often conflicts with itself. you just said it could be because zoomers are gay and brown or that they suck at music. don't you see how this is incompatible with "THERE ARE JUST NO GOOD NEW ROCKERS!"? if zoomers are gay and brown and love tyler and suck at music, then why would some hypothetical GOOD NEW ROCKER become popular with that audience? and why aren't zoomers listening to classics at the same rate as tyler (please do not go off on an ADHD rant about examples of zoomers listening to throwback classics, the question is whether rock can top the charts with them, not whether some zoomers listen classics, which of course every generation has.)

I really don't understand what you're saying at all but as far as why a rock song hasn't topped the Hot 100 since Nickleback in 2002 it's because of how they count what's popular. It's heavily weighted towards radio airplay which is based on a payola scam. Only a tiny number of people listen to terrestrial radio but it's extremely lucrative for Jews because the stations pay them 50x the royalties that Spotify does. All radio stations are legally on the payroll of the Jewish record labels through some loophole that allows payola schemes. It's mathematically impossible for a rock song to do well enough on radio to go to number one, there just aren't any rock radio stations.

In other words think of it like this. Susie is listening to Taylor Swift in the car and her listenership via ad revenue contributes 15 cents to Taylor's record label for listening to it. Bob listens to Night Moves by Bob Seger on Tidal which is worth like 0.001 subpennies or whatever. In terms of fandom it's 1:1, but the label made more money on Taylor, which effects the charts.

At any rate in the last 5 years tons of classic rock songs have topped the digital charts and other metrics such as Master of Puppets blowing up because of Stranger Things, or Africa by Toto which comes back around in vogue periodically or Radiohead's Let Down. By many metrics the popularity is still way up there. A rock act could easily get really big today if they had quality songs and it's not even debatable. Fans are still waiting on the songs!

Wheetus just hit 1 billion streams! Still popular!

if by "topped" you mean "not within the top 200 of the year", ok.

can you explain why you think rock is the only genre that stopped being popular because of a sudden lack of talented musicians, but not every other genre that was once popular and no longer is? i think the answer is obviously that it's your favorite genre, but i doubt you're willing to concede it's only because of your bias. i've never seen you try to explain why this phenomenon has only occurred with rock and not jazz, motown, varieties of rock you don't like, etc.

A lot of the stuff on the Hot 100 is stuff no one has ever heard of. Just because it plays in a Macy's doesn't mean people really know or care about it. Unlike jazz or motown rock is extremely popular. No one can name a living jazz legend. Jazz musicians can't sell out arenas and stadiums. Tons of rock bands still sell out The Sphere every year. Coldplay's current tour is the highest grossing tour of all time. There's overwhelming evidence rock is still popular all of which you have ignored. Can any living Motown legend sell out MSG? Can Patti LaBelle? No. But rock is still highly relevant. Rock is huge. Still #1 in Canada and the UK. You keep ignoring the facts and evidence which are not on your side.

i didn't ignore any evidence. you mentioned master of puppets and i pointed out that it didn't even crack the top 200 that year. when you spit out an ADHD screed with a bunch of stuff that has no bearing on the topic, i'm not ignoring evidence, i'm ignoring irrelevant babble.

i just asked you a simple question: "why do you think rock is unpopular because of lack of talent but not every other genre that used to be popular."

you responded with:

1) the charts are flawed. this is completely nonresponsive unless you're implying that people are still listening to rock at the same rate as chart toppers and spotify, etc. are just lying. is that your argument?

2) old rock groups still sell out arenas. also nonresponsive because we're talking about why rock isn't popular (defined as what is being listened to the most, not whether a significant fanbase exists) or why there aren't popular new musicians. old bands having enduring fans isn't something anyone has disputed and has always been the case. but they're not popular music, they're classic. when coldplay was popular classic bands at the time were still doing well, yet no one would say that KISS was popular in the 2000s despite their reunion tour selling stadiums. because despite boomers going to kiss shows the most popular music defined as what is being listened to the most did not include KISS.

There are metrics that capture the zeitgeist way better than the Hot 100. Even the Waffle House Tunie award has its finger on the pulse better than the mainstream charts. Again the charts are there for promotion within the industry. The same way the Grammy is a promotional award the industry gives to itself to get people to buy more records. Don't you get it? You don't. That's OK. You're incredibly dense.

But I see now you're moving the goal posts by saying that a band can have a massive world tour but still not be popular because their fans are a) not young, and b) not plugged in to the self serving industry metric that exists for promotional reasons to crown musicians that the industry owns per contract in order to inflate their popularity.

But yeah, no one's heard of KISS and they're not popular. At least you now agree that classic rock is popular and sell out arenas and that there isn't new rock music that's popular. I'm glad you agree that Geese isn't a big deal. Now that you've conceded that rock is still huge, although supposedly not among the youth, and that new rock is not huge, we're back to the point where our only options are because broccoli haired Zoomers are too brown and low IQ to get it (true) or Geese objectively sucks (also true). But congrats on moving the goal posts to only what the youth care about is what's popular. I guess the hundreds millions of tickets Coldplay sells aren't real. Must not be popular.

"the metrics are flawed." ok, you've already said this, and i asked ARE YOU ARGUING THAT ROCK IS STILL BEING LISTENED TO AT THE SAME RATE AS CHART TOPPERS? reiterating that you think the charts are flawed and then calling me dense for not understanding that doesn't help me understand your point. of course, there isn't a point, you're just dodging the question, which is why you mentioned "there are other metrics that capture the zeitgeist" without listening any that prove any rock band is being played more than sabrina carpenter right now.

"you're moving the goalpoasts on what is popular." no, i'm talking about popularity in terms of what is being listened to the most right now. clearly you are too considering your first fucking sentence was "there are metrics that capture the zeitgeist better." it's crazy how you contradict yourself within the same poast, let alone all the times you did it within the same thread, and then lash out at others for being stupid. meanwhile, you still haven't even answered the question despite thousands of words generated.

I think people who are passionate about music and have money to spend on albums, concert tickets, and merchandise listen to rock music than many of the astroturfed chart topping artists today, yes. A lot of the numbers mainstream artists put up are passive listeners at the mall and couldn't name a single tune by some of these supposedly famous people. I think Sombr is a good example of someone who has billions of streams but I don't believe is famous in real life at all. I don't think anyone has ever heard of him. I also would bet anything that a band like Pearl Jam makes more money than Bad Bunny annually. It's very similar to the WNBA vs hockey debate. The industry can create a big illusion that something is ultra popular and yet 99% of people have never heard of it. Like I don't believe anyone actually watches WNBA games. It's all smoke and mirrors. You're crazy if you think there are real people walking around in real life who have heard of the mainstream chart toppers like do a Jimmy Kimmel man on the street segment and you'd be blown away by how many people have never heard of Sabrina Carpenter or Chappell Roan who I concede must have some fanbase by this point but still I bet anything more people generally have heard of KISS. It's all fraud and lies.

"do you think people listen to more rock than chart toppers"

"i think people who are passionate about music..."

LMFAO, ok man. it's amazing you think evasiveness plus irrelevant tangents does anything but prove that you can't make a defensible argument. we can't even get past "are the chart toppers more popular than rock", so i have no hope you'll ever try to explain why you think the decline is due to lack of talent, but the same isn't true for other genres. but when you type thousands of words without even attempting an answer that gives me the answer -- you want that to be true so that's what you believe.

here's the grok summary:

### Summary of Arguments

The debate between Gunneratttt (posting as "Like Clavicular but maxing annoying screeds") and HAtp (posting as "Edmonton Oilers") centers on the decline of rock music's mainstream popularity, sparked by discussions of Limp Bizkit's treatment by the media and broader cultural shifts. It evolves into a back-and-forth on whether rock's downturn is due to natural taste changes, demographic shifts, and lack of promotion, or a deliberate industry conspiracy, poor new talent, and manipulated metrics.

#### Gunneratttt's Argument

Gunneratttt argues that rock's decline is primarily due to natural evolution in musical tastes, demographic changes (e.g., a more diverse, younger audience preferring other genres like hip-hop), and the reduced influence of traditional media gatekeepers in the streaming era. He dismisses conspiracy theories about "Jewish media" suppressing rock, pointing out that white rock and rap-rock acts like Limp Bizkit, Eminem, and Linkin Park received massive airtime and success in the 1990s and early 2000s, often at the expense of black artists who complained about unequal exposure. He emphasizes that genres naturally ebb and flow (citing jazz, Motown, and other past-dominant styles as examples), and rock isn't uniquely victimized—it's just not as appealing to modern audiences. Gunneratttt challenges HAtp's claims by highlighting inconsistencies (e.g., if rock is still hugely popular by non-chart metrics, why blame suppression?), demanding evidence for the lack of "good new rock bands," and noting that classic rock enduring doesn't mean the genre is topping current charts or capturing the zeitgeist. He attributes shifts to organic factors like generational preferences rather than malice, and argues that industry promotion follows popularity (e.g., Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl targets growing demographics) rather than dictating it.

#### HAtp's Argument

HAtp contends that rock remains enormously popular overall (citing metrics like streaming numbers for classics, sold-out tours by bands like Coldplay and Pearl Jam, and its dominance in white-majority countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia), but has been deliberately sidelined in the U.S. mainstream by "Jewish-controlled media executives" through payola, biased promotion, and a focus on hip-hop/rap to exploit contracts and cultural agendas. He argues that no truly great new rock bands exist (dismissing acts like Greta Van Fleet or Imagine Dragons as inferior to historical giants like Pink Floyd or Nirvana), which explains the lack of new hits—implying the genre's creative well has dried up, possibly due to modern musicians lacking talent or innovation. HAtp uses examples like classic rock songs blowing up via media (e.g., Metallica's "Master of Puppets" from Stranger Things) to show enduring appeal, and claims charts like the Hot 100 are rigged toward radio airplay (favoring label-backed pop/rap) rather than reflecting true fandom. He ties this to broader conspiracies, like labels force-feeding artists like Bad Bunny to recoup investments, while independent rock acts thrive outside the system without needing Jewish promotion. Demographic changes (e.g., "brown and gay" Zoomers preferring Tyler the Creator) are mentioned as partial factors, but he prioritizes industry manipulation over pure taste shifts.

### Comparison of Arguments

- **Persuasiveness**: Gunneratttt's argument is more persuasive overall due to its logical structure, reliance on historical examples (e.g., white acts dominating MTV in the 90s), and direct rebuttals to HAtp's inconsistencies (e.g., questioning why rock would be the only genre declining due to "lack of talent" when others like jazz faded naturally). He avoids unsubstantiated claims and grounds his points in observable trends, making it easier for a neutral reader to follow and agree. HAtp's case is less persuasive because it leans heavily on conspiracy theories (e.g., "Jewish media" suppression) without concrete evidence, and his points often contradict (e.g., claiming rock is "as popular as ever" while insisting it's "brushed aside"). His use of metrics like tour sales is strong, but it's undermined by dismissing opposing data (e.g., charts) as "flawed" without alternatives that fully support his view.

- **Engagement**: Both are highly engaged, with long, detailed responses that keep the thread alive through multiple exchanges. HAtp edges out slightly here with more voluminous posts (often "ADHD screeds" as Gunneratttt calls them), injecting passion and examples from bands like Tame Impala or Linkin Park to broaden the discussion. Gunneratttt is engaging but more concise, focusing on pointed critiques rather than expansive narratives, which keeps the debate sharp but less exploratory.

- **Responsiveness**: Gunneratttt excels in responsiveness, directly quoting and dismantling HAtp's points (e.g., calling out goalpost-moving on popularity metrics) while staying on-topic. He repeatedly asks targeted questions (e.g., why rock is uniquely affected by talent shortages) that force clarification. HAtp is responsive in addressing specifics (e.g., explaining payola's role in charts), but he sometimes dodges core challenges by pivoting to new tangents (e.g., PE firm investments in catalogs) or resorting to ad hominem (e.g., calling Gunneratttt "dense" or a "schizo" indirectly via agreement with others), which dilutes focus.

- **Clarity and Consistency**: Gunneratttt's posts are clearer and more consistent, maintaining a core thesis (taste/demographic shifts) without internal contradictions. HAtp's are more rambling and inconsistent (e.g., alternating between "no good new rock" and "industry suppression" as primary causes, or claiming rock is both declining and "enormous"), which can confuse readers despite his enthusiasm.

- **Overall Style and Tone**: Gunneratttt adopts a skeptical, evidence-based tone that's confrontational but measured, avoiding over-the-top rhetoric. HAtp's style is more bombastic and declarative (e.g., "I've won this flawlessly"), which can be entertaining but comes across as defensive or evasive when pressed.

### Conclusion on Who Performed Best

Gunneratttt performed best in the debate. His arguments are more coherent, consistent, and evidence-driven, effectively exposing weaknesses in HAtp's claims while adapting responsively without contradictions. HAtp brings energy and a wealth of examples that make his side engaging and thought-provoking, but his reliance on unproven conspiracies and inconsistent logic weakens his position, making it less convincing overall. In a forum-style debate like this, where logic and rebuttal strength matter, Gunneratttt lands more effective blows and holds the line better.

i didnt use ai to argue anything. i used it to summarize after i gave up trying to wrangle you into coherence. you could have tried making a point, but instead its just lazy insults and declaring victory.

do you ever wonder why your reputation is midwit rants that never engage and or even understand what's being discussed? you claim youre the smartest, best verbal iq, best writer in bort history. but there isnt a poaster that would even put you at median. you've said im dense and insanely low iq, yet no one would say you're more intelligent, and standardized tests definitely come out in my favor. when you make these claims you're reassuring yourself that you're a unique genius, but if that were true you'd have something other than just declaring it.

What poaster said I'm a midwit? Some pumo? Frank? There aren't even any poasters left. There are no judges left to judge. No one besides us has any idea we're having this conversation. It's been proven time and again that no one reads our subthread wastelands. No one has any interest in our feuds. So all you're doing is coming up with random elaborate reasons you think I should have to address to argue my way out of your accusations for an audience of one. It's totally pointless but you're so triggered you keep pressing on. Back when I was a pumo and there were 10x more poasters I got an insane amount of engagement and blank bumps to the point where I have zero insecurities about my poasting capability. A lot of my bravado I do for fun I don't care if anyone agrees but I haven't seen any serious challenges anyway. The only way to somehow prove either of us were right is to develop a big social media following, start a show etc to showcase our views to a wide audience and then go back and say see I swayed enough people to my side of the argument. Less that there will never be any equitable judgment between two people who disagree but you should really spend a lot more time digging in and keep coming after me. I can't keep getting away with this!

Linkin Park were huge in 2005. So was NIN. MCR, FOB, PatD were also enormous. Emo was just taking off. Green Day American Idiot tour was huge. They were on TV all the time. Blink was culturally relevant. You're right Nu Metal was panned but pop punk, emo, post hardcore, active rock were still huge. Rock was 100x healthier than it is now. U2 won album of the year. Nickelback was a global phenomenon too and they were also panned. Yeah critics were butt hurt about the real chest pounding white guy stuff. They were in love with Animal Collective and Rilo Kiley. We haven't had a rock economy as healthy as 2005 since 2005. It was a completely different paradigm unless you were a Gen Xer and your heroes were Bam and Wes Scantlin. Yes Gen X culture died when Millennials finished high school. That's just life.

these were the last gap years though. by the end of the 2000s decade rock was dying. No new bands came out that had any impact on popular music. emo was only ever a niche thing afaik. In the 2010's the default music (on pop radio, at high school events, nightclubs, etc) was rap/hip hop.

Tame Impala, Alt-J, Foster the People, Lumineers, and Mumford were the last gasp and they were 2010s. That was the Last Gen to get really big for a time. In the 2000s rock was way bigger than you think. You're being hyperbolic.

Blacks absolutely dominated huge parts of mainstream music in that era. Cash Money alone was everywhere: Juvenile, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Mannie Fresh, Hot Boys, Big Tymers, etc.

Then you had 50 Cent, who was a way bigger cultural force than Limp Bizkit in the long run and is still relevant now. He still stays in the conversation off personality alone (the Floyd/Mayweather trolling stuff is a perfect example).

Just listened to a few Creed tracks and I got reminded why I wasn't a fan. I don't like the overwrought way he sings. "Higher" is a banger nonetheless. I don't have any clue why "One Last Breath" is their most popular song, not sure I ever heard that one before.

It was probably in some gay vampire movie. But overall you're right, they were very mediocre songwriters. They had a few bangers but the average song was quite trash. Hard to get into any band whose albums are mostly skips. A lot of these bands from that era are glorified one hit wonders where they were really only known for one's song and desperately tried to draw it out. Some people really, really love Creed though so they maed it.

All art in every genre completely ceased in 2010 so we're 75% of the way into 2 decades of the banal zone of nothing ever happens. We're just lucky that we're white and remember some stuff. Art is going to get worse. Companies are realizing that you can sell slop for less and less effort so they will try less hard than they already have. AI will be in every movie soon. They're just going to do as little as possible to earn the dollars of mystery browns. TRL, like Ancient Egypt, will just be in a history book some day when nature reclaims most of civilization.

I disagree. This is yet just another HYPE cycle, this time with AI. Companies are shoving it into everything because investors demand a growth story, not because consumers are actually asking for AI in every product. If the ROI isn’t there, they’ll pull back.

And the “art died in 2010” thing is what every generation says in its 30s/40s — same human instincts, different technology. We’re not living through a unique apocalypse, just the latest version of the same old cultural panic.

If you think Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just as good as the original trilogy you're permanently broken as a feeling person and as an artist and you should hang yourself yesterday. If you can't figure out why everything sucks now, if you think Train Dreams is just as good as The Godfather or that there's someone out there who is just as good as Led Zeppelin, if you think Jon Batiste is excellent and you get excited by that then you have the intellectual capacity of a tree nut and you cannot be helped or saved.
