I saw this as a kid with my dad, and I was like, “Jeez, imagine having a teacher like that.” He was like, "Imagine having a student like that.” I was like, “What's wrong with the student?”
When this KITH came out, rock WAS becoming a sad, tired thing that couldn't digest solid food and talked to itself on the bus. It was all Hair Metal and Pop/Dance. Then, Sub Pop/Seattle happened.
Though every music is dying, all there is now are bpm formulas and discrete sound effects. At least there was some good alt&prog rock into 00s, good jazz died earlier
@cookmoore= I loved him in the Beverly Hillbillies. Rock and roll isn't dead. The dignity of MTV is. I remember when MTV started fgoing down the toilet. I started playing techno and "gulp" country music on my radio.
What makes this funny is I think of this as a person looking back at how you were before sort of Like when I watched this I still were alarmed at how my buddies were starting to love Country music it was sort of like Invasion of the Bodie Snatchers tell they all did then you one day wake up and listen to the Music you hate that that jerk said you would I do like jazz at the time so I was sort of happy knowing Rock will give way to what ever maybe jazz maybe country but the music of boomers seen to go on forever
I can agree to the idea of trends being eaten up by the "cattle"... but it kind of contradicts your support of Alice in Chains rather than Nirvana... while both were being shoved in peoples faces, it was clear that it wasn't what Kurt wanted, it made him very unhappy to see that his work had been used for that, where as Alice in Chains was essentially the boy band of grunge. But again I can agree, whats popular is not popular because its good, its because its there.
On the road to rock and roll there's a lot of wreckage in the ravine some you'll recognize used to hang out on the scene Joe Strummer Road To Rock And Roll (it's a lament)
I got to spend alot of time with Joe Strummer, and when I asked him about this song, knowing that he wrote it for Johnny Cash, he said that after it was recorded he went down to the studio where Johnny was recording with Rick Ruben, to show them his new song, and they weren't there! He spent three days on the sidewalk. Poor Joe.
Reminds me of the World Economic Forum flute player girl, They literally want people tame and placated. Rock and Roll is a threat against global naz1ism, lol. This is actually a real thing, not a joke anymore, and I love it. Why did MTV stop letting young artists express their talent and political statements? World Powers don't want Americans expressing at all.
@jessemaurais Oh please, don't act like shitty pop music didn't always dominate the charts. There was shitty music on top when this sketch was made. There was shitty 50's pop, 60's pop, 70's pop, 80's pop, shitty 1874 pop and there's shitty music now on top of the charts (I don't really know but there has to be). Shitty music and pop always dominated. But thank god for the internet (at least in that aspect) because people find better music easier. It's not a hassle to find music anymore.
I would agree that they weren't too far off-rock was no longer God after 1996(maybe 97ish). Rock is still going, mind you, but it has long been swept under the rug for pop/rap/hip hop. Hell, I think country has more of a general following then real rock does at this point, and even country is a watered down(somehow even more generic) version of itself. When was the last time the "cool" kids at school were fans of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Stones or the Doors?
great skit my thoughts exactly i mean remakes and pop artists played on Z104 (Madison WI, Radio Station) are destroying the music that used to be good and the young people take for granted.
Well, the problem with the Beach Boys was never Brian Wilson, he continues to be pretty cool, into old age. Mike Love, on the other hand, has been sad since birth.
@patton303 i know somebody who claims he's a music "analyst, historian and producer,"...he's 19, 'produces' a college internet radio show and doesnt know any music that predates rap
Heavy Metal has been around for about 40 years, and its managed to survive like a cockroach in the underground, whereas highly popular music forms like disco, new wave, pop punk, the latin explosion and the swing revival have either died or are dying. I think that rock has survived fairly well. :)
I come to you from the far magical future year of 2021 and everything you said was correct except the disco thing. That one has....well it's been, uh, interesting. But not necessarily bad all the way. Actually all genres operate like that. But yeah, disco in its pure form's kinda waning since 2014 but its sound influence is undeniably all over the place in the background of any popular hits.
Taste is subjective, Kurt Cobain, though a less than talented guitarest, had a different idea of what "rock" should be, he liked his strings out of tune, it was the "Grunge". Also, people have been doing heroine and writing songs in the same format for at least as long as there has been heroine. How many jazzers have done heroine? How many have written their own tune to the same changes as another? Too many to list here is the answer to that. Same goes for any genre.
@@insectwarriorjojo7780So is Dick Dale, but Dick Dale is also Rock and Roll. I love surf music, surfing is the way to go through life, but help people along the way too.
Something made you think of this skit recently too, eh? Earlier today, I was thinking, "life's a pretty sweet fruit!!" "Ah, who am I kiddin'? 13 bucks a month nearly *killed* me..." Go watch that one 😉
There were guys like Bobby in my high school band class. It was rock or nothing. Thus they could never get drunk, where the rest of us who liked multiple genres could.
@@kazumahazeuzumaki and every 20, 30y-50y it comes back. Probably du to generationnal overlap and how kids immitate teens and teen imitate adults 30y + . Good stuff prevail by definition tho.. its going to be interesting times soon we already see 70s 80s 90s nostalgia in full force . Im gussing 1920 30 style is going to come back a bit like it did a bit with amy winehouse and lady gaga. (You know jetson space race like era after that..)
"If Rock and Roll doesn't reinvent itself, then it probably deserves to die." - Gene Simmons. I'm not much of a Kiss fan, but I actually agree with that quote.
Same here, but doses instead of shrooms. Crazy, seen them come and perform live as well, 1994 was the year of that I believe. But I was a little younger than 18!
This character Bobby reminds me a bit of Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar. Same generational trends. There were a lot of dudes like that then and now they’re just all metal heads. Or posers who dress like them.
People don't even realize the extent to which Jazz influenced Rock.Maybe not the dixieland or swing stuff, but you can definitely hear Coltrane in a lot of bands that came after.
You see the problem is the rap music. All these kids with the hipin' and the hopin' and the bipin' and the bopin', Soooo they don't know what the Jazz is all about you see...
I knew guys like Bobby in high school. The easiest way to piss them off was to play a parody of, "Stairway to Heaven," (best one had the lyrics to, "Gilligan's Island," on it). "Dude, you can't mess with Stairway! That's sacrilegious!" I think you mean, "Sacri-licious!' * turns volume up *
