So if rock is dead (who knows, maybe in its traditional form, it is, though I think The White Stripes makes some damn good rock...Jack White also knows how to play guitar...)
But if it is dead, quit griping. Listen to Led Zeppelin and Cream, but find something new, because there is plenty of new good stuff out there to be heard.
New stuff I have heard that is nowhere near the pop mainstream includes:
Hip hop -- Eyedea, Immortal Technique, Atmosphere (well, he has gotten onto radio, but I still like him), Aesop Rock. And saying that hip hop sucks because of 50 cent or Ja Rule is like saying rock sucks because of Nickelback.
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Rjd2 - imagine if Moby was cool
Even the White Stripes I first heard before they made it big.
The point is to not wait til MTV plays it, because then it will just get annoying anyway. Go out and find some new music for yourself, because there is plenty of awesome stuff with no air time. Or go back - dig up some Muddy Waters or other blues.
There is more to music than MTV and other good genres besides rock.
