I don’t think there’s anything wrong with rock at all. It’s overlooked. And right now, the current musical climate is not unlike it was back in 1991, right before Nirvana got popular. The late ’80s was full of over-produced pop that kids had nothing to grab hold of - they had no way of connecting to this hair metal band singing about fucking strippers in a limousine on Sunset Boulevard. Who can relate to that? Then you had a bunch of formulaic pop songstress bullshit, and music was boring. And then a bunch of bands with dirty kids got on MTV and rock and roll became huge again. And I feel like that’s about to happen. Something’s got to give. It can’t be song contests on television for the rest of our lives. It can’t be the same playlists on every radio station for the rest of our lives. It can’t be music made entirely by computers with people talking over it the rest of our lives. It can’t go that way, it just won’t.

Dave Grohl, calling bullshit on those “rock is dead” claims.

billboard: Today’s big (albeit expected) Spotify announcement? A new (sort of public) API platform. What does that mean for all you music fans? Well, do you like any of the above brands (hint hint: Billboard)? They’ll soon have their own Spotify apps, where they’ll curate streaming playlists and the like. More.
