Maybe it’s a younger generation thing where anything before 2000 is “rock”. There’s been a lot of love for 1980s new wave, tho, so I doubt that’s it.
Personally, as a middle-aged man raise on classic rock, I’m sick of it, largely because everyone everywhere around the world wants to be a rock band. Think I’m exploring French music, it turns into rock. Think I’m exploring Argentine music, it turns into rock. Fuck off.
Meh, don’t care some much about labels, except when it interferes with their purpose. Like if I’m looking for the best new rock bands and some guy is up there with nothing but a laptop… yeah. No thanks. Nothing against electronic music, I love synthwave and most 80s inspired stuff but that’s not what I’m looking for right now…
Or these metal festivals inviting pendulum or the prodigy or whatever. Okay, cool… they’re fun, they make good music, but I’m here to headbang, not for a rave. Save it for the after-party, not the headliner…

Okay, totally unprompted rant, sorry about that.
