Rock... Going out of style?

Well on one of Jay-Z's interviews he said that rock WAS slowly dying which gave way to HIP-HOP. Hiop-hop became the "new" style of music that everyone started listening to. It was like a new religion that had all the answers, but recent events such as soulja boy, GS Boys, B-Dash and more have destoryed the true meaning of hip-hop. This lead to Lil' Wayne going towards rock and 'audiotune' music causing everyone to follow. That's why he wrote D.O.A. to tell rappers, "Hip-hop is heading in the same direction as rock, we need to get on another route and progress better."

So if a genre is "dead" it's cause the major population left it. You just support your genre like Jay-Z is and a miracle might happen.
