> Is Rock and Roll dead?
Much to the chagrin of its original demographic, "rock and roll" in
its strictest sense (that is, the sense that "Madonna is not rock and
roll" that started this discussion) is no longer the driving force of
popular culture. Heck, it's no longer the driving force of popular
music. Basically, rock and roll now is roughly equivalent to where
jazz was in the '60s: still popular, but out of the commercial
mainstream. Eventually, rock and roll will be where jazz is today: an
esoteric, specialist taste that is almost invisible in the wider
popular culture.
