What do rock bands sing about in 2025?

Hmmm a litany of pure trash (minus Limp Bizket, of course).

cigarettes after sex

Not rock

MSI

I thought they had the hate mon against them cause the singer's a nonce or something

how they're doing compared to artists of the same size

What does this mean exactly

Overproduced romance songs

Like November Rain?

Chick looks like she's bent over in front of an invisible man and experiencing rough painal

rock

Not music

no Linkin Park

shit chart desu

Like every Journey song or the Stones' Angie?

Spiders and little green ghouls

Is there anyone making real hard rock or metal these days or is it all this Sleep Token shit where the chorus is some distorted guitar and the rest is some basically soft r and b or rap bullshit? I'll hang up an listen. Thanks.

That kind of ersatz pop rock has always existed. Once it was REO Speedwagon or Pablo Cruise and those bands were reviled by metal and punkfags.

I'd think rock would inevitably come back once DEI was vanquished.

Yes, I understand that. I'm asking is there maybe a band or two out there rocking their cocks off? (no troons)

Type O Negative +60%

System Of A Down +40%

Good

HIM +61%

Pop

all the rest

Literal who?

there's plenty of bands still making metal. scene's never been bigger. but seeing as you're a tourist that's made 0 effort to look for them i'm not spoonfeeding you.

Issue isn't lack of metal bands it's lack of the industry investing the big bucks in them they did in Iron Maiden's day.

uppity metal chud defending new metal's honor

lmao just give the guy some recs you loser

right and getting rid of DEI will also make the eggs cheaper kek

world is completely different from 40 years ago grandpa.

t. Discord tranny
Ermm,
Disposessing whites in their homelands is a GOOD thing ackshually.

don't want to sound old or anything but who the fuck are Cigarettes After Sex?

no see record labels massively cut back since the 2008 recession so they just maked the most low effort pop slop since

being cunty
youtube.com/watch?v=20TDd19oA1Q

metal died out long before 2008 grandpa

yes. you belong in a death camp.

I'm old and I know who they are anon, they've been around since the late 2000's. I have no idea if they have a hit song you'd recognize or not but check them out if you like dream pop or shoegaze.

passable dream pop/slowcore band, famous since 2016 and very famous since 2022

...i thought OP said these were rock bands

lack of the industry investing the big bucks

why?

Look at shit token LMAO unholy fuKKKing industry plant. Only POSERS and FAGGOTS listen to that SHIT.

Type O Negative

picrel explains why this shit band is popular while obviously superior goth/doom bands like My Dying Bride aren't

dream pop: alt rock subgenre (Cocteau Twins != Madonna)
slowcore: indie rock subgenre

they fucking suck, honestly think they got popular from the name alone.

Basically the daily streams artists get is on average 0.05% of their total streams so if one gets 0.1% it's +100%, it mostly shows how popular they are compared to the last few years. Opposite examples:

The Black Keys -90%
Kings of Leon -78%
Muse -71%
Queen -71%
The Killers -71%
Imagine Dragons -70%
Deep Purple -67%
The Beatles -65%
The Who -65%
Queens of the Stone Age -65%
U2 -63%
Electric Light Orchestra -62%
Foo Fighters -60%
The Beach Boys -60%

2,640 Type O Negative +60%

4,304 HIM +61%

5,982 She Wants Revenge +153%
