Totally agree. There’s been great music out of Europe for the last 20 years, or more.Mr. God of Thunder is just being extremely myopic, he can't see past his own ego. When you look outside of typical US labels & media channels, you'll find that rock music is actually doing quite well. FWIW, some of the most inspiring music I've ever heard is being made today.
From The Netherlands
From Italy
From Germany
From France
Even in the US, there are indie bands that are pushing right through preconceptions and expectations to create some insanely cool music.
They are cute. Is this K-Rock?Yeah, well, I'm buying records from these chicks. So there's that.

I'm glad you like them but how can you compare bands like this to Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Nirvana, The Who, The Clash etc, etc. They have a sound and play good but they are nowhere near bands that were big in the 60's through the 90's.
Easy. The groups you mentioned were at the right place and time to be more widely accepted in the US. People had TV and radio, that was pretty much it. Those bands had little to no competition from other media sources (Netflix, HBO, etc) or digital activities (MMOs, Facebook or other online entertainment).I'm glad you like them but how can you compare bands like this to Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Nirvana, The Who, The Clash etc, etc. They have a sound and play good but they are nowhere near bands that were big in the 60's through the 90's.
I think it's easier now to make it big now. You can record at home, upload to a site that millions can access, sell your songs on a website. Like Chance the Rapper you don't even need to have a label with a bunch of weasels telling you what to do.Easy.

That doesn’t mean rock is dead, just different. IMHO, of course.
