Pfft... unlikely. Rock is still going extremely strong on it's own, even if it's not at the forefront, it's still strong and going along, doing it's own thing.

Pfft... unlikely. Rock is still going extremely strong on it's own, even if it's not at the forefront, it's still strong and going along, doing it's own thing. There is still a great community with it. EDM, dance, trance whatever is nothing. Just a bunch of people thinking they are cool, taking too many drugs and drinking too much because thats they only way they can enjoy such bad music. Edit: Although admittedly I didn't read this article. I just clicked the link and it has a picture of the beatles? The beatles are not a rock band, the beatles were a boy band, much like the backstreet boys etc, maybe this form of "rock" is dying, but real rock is still around.

You could flip EDM and Rock in your descriptions and it would still be just as ill informed

The first few years the Beatles were a boy band. After that, Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Pepper, the 3 albums listed in the article, are highly influential albums that laid the groundwork for more experimental and complex songwriting and composition in rock music. Everything you consider "real rock" were influenced by these albums.

  They were a cover band. They translated Little Richard relatively successfully. Then they became a boy band ( but that was brilliant marketing by Brian Epstein ). But for a boy band, they had real power in the rhythm section. Those recordings have muscle. They couldn't tour ( there was no PA as we now know it and they couldn't get over the crowds ) so they pivoted to recording. Had Crown introduced the DC-300 earlier... who knows? In 1980, it was still racks of DC-300s behind stage with a guy to turn them off to keep them from flaming out...
