10 Reasons Why Classic Rock Will Always Be Better Than Pop Music
Quotesgram

If you're parents are relatively old, then you most likely grew up listening to classic rock music. As a classic rock kid you totally remember that time on the bus when of all of your friends were listening to Britney Spears while you were jamming out to Journey.

Looking back on that now, you have your parents to thank for giving you the greatest gift of knowing what real music is.

In a world filled with new pop stars rising from the dust every week, auto tuned one hit wonders and lip synched performances nothing compares to the real iconic bands you grew up listening to.

You know you're a classic rock kid or you just played a lot of guitar hero growing up, if you agree with these:

1. Real Instruments

Hearing actual instruments being played by actual musicians is truly what music is all about.

2. Artists were the songwriters

Some of the greatest songs of all time were written by band members, something that definitely lacks in todays "artists."

3. No Autotune


Clearly something that didn't exist back then, but in todays "music" every song you hear is touched up and unrealistic to the singers actual voice.

4. Music Legends

Bands like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Guns N' Roses those are legends. Todays kids don't really have anyone that iconic to look up to in the music industry.

5. The Commercial Aspect

Pop music is all about image and money these days, something musicians back then could give two shits about, and thats what makes it so real.

6. Pop is easy, Rock is really hard.

Pop stars basically show up and "sing" Rock stars have to preform, and slave to the grind every night on tour.

7. Famous for music not appearance

Rock musicians never really had to deal with image or appearance, it was all about the music, this is completely different in todays music.

8. LIVE PERFORMANCE

If you can go to a show and say wow that sounded even better than it did on the album, you just saw a musician not some pop star.

9. Album Art

Most great rock bands had actual art for album covers, not some scantily dressed guy or girl on it for no reason other than their image.

10. It never gets old

That song you hear on the radio over and over again at some point it will get old, and so will that pop star. But Rock N' Roll music will never die.

If you're a 20 year old that still listens to your parents favorite rock bands, you made it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
