There is SOME glimmer of hope, though. Classic bands from the late 80s, early 90s are thankfully still thriving- REM, Sublime, 311, Supergrass, The Dandy Warhols, stuff like that.

I can't stand emo and crappy stadium "punk rock."

I really hope Psychedelic rock and GUITAR BASED rock (blues/jazz riffs and GOOD SOLOS) make a comeback. I really do. We need people who RESPECT their guitars, not just strum repetetive 3 note power chords with a lame singer.

AND STOP WITH THE FUCKING SONGS ABOUT LOVE AND SADNESS. It's getting OLD.
