What is this new genre of music...

[Smitty]

I mean, the fact that bands like Jet, Franz Ferdinand, and most of the bands with "The" as the first word are slowly replacing the nu-metal crap doesn't make me that mad, but what kind of music is it? Retro-rock?

Yeah, I guess. Some of it (particularly The Strokes' first single) is basically 70s rock. I don't know what to call it.

Here's a radical idea:

Let's call it rock.

[tomisonfire]

yes, it is Rock I would think.

[The Mask]

I don't know. I tend to find rock music interesting. I don't find them interesting.

[House of Pancakes]

Buzz and the gang will DESTROY them all with their acclaimed status in the rock and roll charts..

Yeah, but not all music is good music. Not all rock is good rock. It's still rock, whether you like it or not.

[Downunder]

It's only Rock n' Roll but I like it

All metal is good metal. If it's not good, it's not metal.

Note: I did not say "If it's not metal, it's not good".

Ok that's just silly, if you don't put something infront of it how the hell is it supposed to sell???

Bullshit.

You're right. It's marketing suicide.

Let's call it. I dunno...Nu Rock. Naw. Still too alienating. Nu Rawk?

Bah. Let's call it punk. We got a bunch of people to believe boy bands were punk, why not call these guys punk?

No, wait. -Core genres tend to sell. Rawk-Core? Ret-Core? AHA! NURETCORE!

[Penner]

Are The Trews like that?

I thought their first song sounded kinda like that.

[Downunder]

Nuretcore. :D

But you will have to spell it like this NurEtKore. That way the Avril and Lump Bikkie fans will buy it.

[Danny Electric]

Then you have loads of different variations. By the way The Killers rule.

[Outsider]

I just thought it was shitty dull indie

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Lets just call it: CRAP
