re: Why is Classic Rock so Much Cooler than Modern Rock?

It's not cooler. Classic rock is such a give up.

Now, let's be clear, there are plenty of older bands who are great. I love the Stones and have a lot of their old records. Big fan. I'm not saying older rock music, I'm saying identifying as a "classic rock" fan is a complete give up. It's saying that you just take received wisdom and accept it. It's like saying you'll just wait for other people to tell you what is good.

I like rock n roll. Old, new, whatever. Doesn't matter. There is no genre of classic rock. That's just repackaged oldies. There's plenty of great bands throughout history. Go find them. It will be a lot of fun.
