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.

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

metal died out long before 2008 grandpa

Huge with Sirs, I think they self insert themselves with Greg Gonzalez who looks slightly Indian from certain angles
