Classic Rock May Never Die

If I’m not mistaken, there is an old saying that says “rock n’ roll will never die, and although that sounds like a cliche, it may actually be true. Considering the popularity of “classic rock” these days, it certainly is not showing any signs of dying anytime soon. When I hear a classic rock ringtone coming from some teenager’s phone, I know there is hope for its future.

Despite the fact that much of the music we consider “classic” these days is from 20 or more years ago, a lot of young people seem to be flocking to classic rock. This does not surprise me given the quality of what is considered music these days.

I think the Internet has been a great help in introducing a lot of the older music to young people today. Let’s face it, you can get online and download just about any kind of music you can think of. I don’t doubt that in some cases, parents had a hand in introducing classic rock to their kids as well since that was certainly the case in my family.

However, since the Internet has made so many choices available, young people also has the opportunity to discover classic rock music on their own and perhaps feel more like it was their own and that bodes well for the future of classic rock.
