Decline of cultural relevance in the lead
Following User:Teflon Peter Christ's reversion of my edit to the lead, I've tried a different rephrasing of the point about rock's status in the 2010s/2020s. I feel that the claim of a "decline in cultural relevance" is quite subjective (relevant to whom? in what culture?), and while this is supported by sources, these sources are themselves think-pieces, opinions. I also didn't like the overly USA-centric nature of the phrasing, and I'm not sure that the specific point about hip-hop being more popular travels across the world in quite the same way. I've tried to rewrite that paragraph to avoid too much editorialising, to show that rock is sharing the pop music ground with other genres much more. Happy for it to be reworked, but I don't feel a revision to the previous phrasing is a particularly satisfactory outcome either. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 09:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Isn't the entire article Western-centric, since that's been the breeding ground for the dominant rock acts? 𝒮𝒾𝓇 𝒯𝑒𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓃 (talk &#124; contribs) 05:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

The Influence of Texas in Rock Music
Some people like to cite Clevand, Ohio as the birthplace of Rock but they are evidently wrong. Rock music was founded in Houston, TX by a man like Goree Carter. Trenchcoatjohn (talk) 17:20, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * No one person, or one city "founded" the genre. Carter is mentioned in the article, as is Cleveland.  And many other places, and many other people.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:47, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Texas founded the genre... Clevand likes to take place but Goree Carter created it. Check your facts. Trenchcoatjohn (talk) 04:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
