Are The Jonas Brothers The Band That Brings Rock 'N' Roll To The Kids?

Neil Young sings "Rock 'N' Roll will never die," alas he seems to be wrong. In fact the last Rock 'N' Roll that reached the young folk was stuff like Korn and Limp Bizkit. Ugh Limp Bizkit! :pukefight:That was a while ago as well and I fear that that style of Rock 'N' Roll made people just as sick which is why kids seemed to have left it. I consider it the death of Rock in fact. Folks Hip Hop is THE music that kids listen to nowadays with few exceptions. Rock 'N' Roll is thought of as quaint music that their parents listen to. They consider Rock what the Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath generation considers Frank Sinatra. They most likely will snicker if their parents will buy the new Aerosmith or KISS albums coming out soon. With that said I see a band called the Jonas Brothers and they seem to be the hot ticket nowadays. They seem like the closest thing to Rock 'N' Roll that kids will listen to these days. So I ask you...are the Jonas Brothers the last hope for Rock 'N' Roll or is the future listening to Jamie Foxx singing Blame It On The Alcohol over and over. If it's the latter scenario as I believe I'm beginning to see a benefit in global warming! 😈
 
The Jonas Brothers are technically considered pop music. I have never considered them for any type of rock formula.

My nephew likes them so I have had a chance to listen to some of their songs. In my opinion, they are definately not rock.

I'm a crotchety " old man" of thirty tree. In my world, rock is rock, pop is pop, and white people who listen to rap/hip-hop are wiggers.
 
The Jonas Brothers are shitty, shitty pop music. Not even close to rock.

Yeah but back in the 70s pop rock was played by bands like KISS and Alice Cooper. I Was Made For Loving You by KISS is definitely pop and was vilified back when it was released and only later people grew a fondness for it. :zomgrabbit:
 
horrible. i heard someone refer to them once as "the new beatles"...i wanted to throw an old lady at that person for even insinuating such an awful thing.
 
Rock and Roll is about rebellion, and the Jonas Brothers are far from being rebels. I am not saying they are bad musition, and there is nothing wrong with being good roll models, it's grat that they are doing this, but it's not Rock and Roll.
 
Whatever they are, they have to be better than what every kid in America seems to listen to nowadays and that's hip hop. Here in NYC there's like 5 or 6 major radio stations all with the same hip hop format. All the top singles are hip hop. Whatever happened to musical diversity? This is why I hate the kids of this generation. All robots playing their X-boxes, watching the dreadful G4 channel, sending messages on MySpace and walking around with obnoxious cell phones ringing all day. I truly hope that global warming affects them in their time.
 
don't worry rock won't die... 😉

My only question is ... how old are those kids? Due to the fact that certain kindof tastes in life develop and change. And believe me when I tell you that no media can manipulate you to the point of getting close minded bout music. 🙂
 
Rock won't die. There are too many sub-genres for that to happen. Neil Young was a bit folk-rock, not traditional rock n roll like Elvis, not hard like "Korn" which I think helped to pave way for some of the indie and folk rock bands around today.

As for Limp Bizkit and Korn, they are no better than the JoBros in my opinion.

In terms of current rock, there is a wealth of good music out there, you just have to look for it.

If you think rock is dead or that hip hop is the new music, you need to stop thinking that what's played on the radio represents what everyone is listening to. There are a lot of cool bands that don't get airtime. But great use of sweeping generalizations...

Also, when was Alice Cooper considered "pop"?

What the fuck? This thread just got too ridiculous to even pay attention to.

Agreed about Limp Bizkit and Korn being no better than Jonas boys. As for what's being played on the radio being what everyone listens to, I am generalizing because generally kids listen to only hip hop nowadays. If Rock was still popular there would be radio stations with a rock format of newer bands like Seether, Taproot and Dropbox. They don't exist. And Alice made pop rock songs like School's Out, KISS did the same as a lot of 70s bands. I'm certainly not saying Alice's or anyone playing pop rock is bad just trying to categorize it. Bon Jovi is considered pop rock by many and they are quite talented. :chocrabbit:

There is at least one, if not more, radio stations here in Chicago that play strictly rock music, including the subgenres of alternative and so on. This includes bands like Seether and Tool and such. As for everyone listening to Hip Hop, I gotta disagree. One look at the current Bilboard top 100 and you will see it's mostly Pop and R&B, followed by Hip Hop, Rock (Kings of Leon, Linkin Park, Shinedown, and Green Day), and Country.
 
Yet the chicago rock stations are the ones that go out of business the quickest

Q101 is the only real surviving one but Back in the day you had the ultimate in rock 103.5 and rebel radio but for the most part, you have chicago rock stations changing frequencies and names every 6 months to a year

The hip hop\rap stations seem to be a mainstay

Stations? Only one I know of that's been on longer than a year is WGCI. Even B96, which I always thought was a strict hip hop and r&b station is playing Kelly Clarkson now.

103.5 Kiss FM has been hip hop\R%B for some time now
B96 as you said but they are getting more clubbish
V103-similar to Kiss FM
92.3-More up and coming but tends to play mainstream but not the stuff that is played 2 times every hour
