This is an interesting thought....
Has rock come full circle? I'm beginning to think so, especially
in light of the massive 80's revivalism going on right now with
alot of modern/indie rock out there (The Darkness, The Sounds,
Interpol, Strokes, Stellastar, The Network, etc...)
Is there a completely original, unique sub-genre of ROCK that
hasn't been touch on yet? is anythin "new" anymore? Music (and
pop culture in general) it seems is getting more and more re-hased
and watered-down as time wears on. Crazy...
