re: is hard rock making a mainstream comeback?

If it's stuff like trad populist metal, it can stay gone IMO.
And anything resembling classic rock is not going to happen. The audience and played out old songs of classic rock will have to go away and stay gone for a while for it to have any chance at being rebooted. It's just too common and uncool at this point; younger people don't want any part of it.

21 pilots, x ambassadors and stuff like that... No thanks. All a fad.
Alabama shakes, jack white, etc... 100% yes

I think he singled out Tame Impala because they're huge right now and getting lots of media coverage. Who knows where they'll be in 20 years. They seem like the type of band that could be forgotten in a few years.
Look at these rock fests and you'll see a lot of older bands near the top of the lineup every year. It goes to show how bands like Rob Zombie and Slayer aren't just a fad.

Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones aren't coming back. Just accept it.

Tame Impala is kinda lame in my opinion. I really don't get the appeal. I really believe that Bro Country is simply the natural reaction to a world starved of new rock. The "rock" world keeps pushing techno, indie folk, pop rock bands as their "rising stars" and it's just being rejected by the majority of the country. People are flocking to the one new genre that even sorta makes them feel the way they used to feel, even despite the fact that it is completely artificial and contrived. That's why cover bands are so popular. People are so desperate for a taste of the real thing that they can't help but patronize the only outlets still willing to give them a spoonful. It's like an entire population dying for a taste of some fruit, but because there is no fruit, they resort to drinking orange soda loaded with high-fructos corn syrup because that's the closest thing they can get their hands on.

We're about to the hit the 90's revival apex here in the next 18-24 months, mainstream hard rock is part of that so yeah. I don't think it's going to be a long term thing though.

I think what the article is saying is that rock music, both bands and fans, never went away. It was just ignored by the media. There were always popular rock bands from the late 60s to the early 2000s, then it just got marginalized somehow. Even the underground was still strong.
I can't see rock fans turning to bro country just for new music. They may have moved on from Korn and Limp Bizkit to Shinedown and Three Days Grace, but they didn't move on to Jason Aldean or FGL.

New Orleans is a nook and cranny! always been good hard and heavy bands playing around town. Lots of good fans also.
Look country and rap have evolved into shite with garbage music and huge ego's (sup Kanye). There is no energy there.

Yes, but that nostalgia is centered around early 90's gangsta rap like Public Enemy, MC Hammer, and Run DMC, not Nirvana, STP, and Alice in Chains. Nostalgia is all about what was kinda hokey, but fun like 80's hair bands and Tricky Tricky Tricky. We may be 3-5 years from a pop/punk nostalgia because that stuff is pure fun. Grunge is cool, edgy, ect, but it's not fun.

I guess it depends on your social circle but i don't agree with that at all. I first started seeing grunge coming back at SXSW in 2012 or so and its only gotten bigger and bigger

They´re fairly creative, but they´re likely to burn out.
Fairly creative these days is an absolutely major feat.

Both of these quotes gave me the same reaction.

I hope so, I have a lot of songs ready.
Problem is,some frickheads are going to decide what fits,and what doesn't,and the genre will be just as narrow as new country is.

It's ok to have one 4 chord song about drinking beer and f$&king in the back of a pickup truck. It's a completely different thing for one to have an entire genre of them that gets played 24/7 on no less than 4 radio stations in every town.
A rock resurgance where all the music is forced to conform to a strict formula would result in even less musical choice than the current climate. Conformity breeds normality breeds unorigionality breeds apathy.

Right man.
Programmers never want to put great shite out there,for the world to hear.That would cause the public to expect more,and that would make their job more difficult.
You have to keep the bar low.
