My favorite band, Alter Bridge, sells out arenas in Europe, but here in America they play in local venues 1/4th the size.
Growing up as a child of the 80s, I vividly remember listening to everything mainstream pushed out which was a combination of so many genres--Duran Duran, MJ, John Mellencamp, Def Leppard, Journey, Toto, Poison, Huey Lewis, Beastie Boys, NWA, etc. Man the music was GREAT!
Even the 90s & 00s seemed to be a great mix. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alanis Morrisette, Blink 182, U2, Eminem, Linkin Park, Pink, Maroon 5, Foo Fighters, Evanescence, etc.
Am I just old and disconnected, but it seams the popular stuff is crap I won't listen to like Ariana Grande, CardiB, Miley Cyrus, Machine Gun Kelly, etc. I'm 49, have I finally become my parents--listening to the "classics" like Match Box Twenty, Bush & Breaking Benjamin? LOL
Rock music remains the most popular music in America, despite the fact that young people are less likely to listen to it. Adults under the age of 30 prefer it to hip hop and pop music, but it is the most popular music among all Americans.
