Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes The demise of rock: What happened
2 of 26

When I look at rock today, I don't like a lot of it, but while most people would be bothered by this, I see it as quite possibly the healthiest thing for the rock music scene. Rock is a movement, it's a feeling, it's a notion. My dad loves rock, he has since high school, but he doesn't like a lot of my music. I love rock, and... More..

26 of 73

I'm going to take this moment to use a word that frightens most parents: Sex. Now that we've all had that short intake of air, I'm going to use another word: Teen.
