For me this one is easy. While people who love rock music thinks its cool, the mass majority of people don’t think it is. Most likely because their friend groups just like pop etc and don’t want to be left behind. Who wants to be that one rebel that goes against the crowd? Yelling their rock allegiance only to get publicly ridiculed..
Pop music by its very definition is popular, where as rock has always been seen as the black sheep of the family. The weird uncle that you were probably told to stay away from. Also lets not forget there is so many heavier flavours of rock that shock most peoples ears. Or people don’t understand the shift within the genre, numb to genuine progress.
Other than that I think people incorrectly view it as aggressive , whereas in reality its been proven (you can find the studies yourself) that people who listen to rock music are more relaxed than people who do not. There has been an emergence recently I believe in rock music’s popularity, and it’s one I did not expect.
Yet currently it’s a genuine shame though that you can’t go walking through a supermarket and hear a kickass rock song. Or in the charts hear a brand new band. Todays music is unfortunately very unimaginative. That is why we need to celebrate bands that fuse genres, test the senses and more importantly act as a gateway for people to experience rock. Such as Sleep Token. A band that recently scored a top 10 single in the UK charts!
