Wow, the sheer density of illogic, ad hominem, and goalpost-moving in the comments section.
- The title of the community implies classic rock as a genre is timeless. You know you will make such claims too.
- You can’t go around arguing that anything that’s good is classic rock and anything that’s bad isn’t “classic”, both changing the meaning of your terms mid-sentence AND no-true-Scotsmanning
- Are you really going to argue that anything good is “classic rock” and it’s not about time? Fall Out Boy too?
- You can’t make statements about my tastes. You don’t know my damn tastes. I shouldn’t need to list my tastes to defend my argument. This isn’t about me, it’s about your stupid genre of music.
- Yes, we know that Dust in the Wind and Journey are good. I listen to those and some of the other top classic rock too, because they are good. Most of the genre is not timeless though. I also love Nightwish, Linkin Park, Niel Diamond, Jagged Edge, video game comedy-pop, and orchestral soundtracks. Like I said, this isn’t about me, this is about how Tom Petty, Motley Crue, and Deep Purple are lame and terrible.
I understand why I got downvoted, but I don’t understand why you got downvoted.
