Vincent Vega Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What was the last Rock subgenre that actually added to the genre overall or was important or was just plain awesome?I think Industrial Rock was the last great rock subgenre and movement, or whatever genre Evanesence was.

dalsh327 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 To me, "alt country" "Americana" "alt roots music" has been pretty successful. It never really fit into a radio format, but I think "adult alternative" stations playing a wide variety of styles and eras opened that door up. History of what led up to Ministry changing their sound in 1988 is interesting. They stopped making playing synths dorky and incorporate it into the metal world somehow. No one thought it could be done before them. Evanescence pretty much did what GNR did - took a little from here and there and made a band out of it. Some people thought she made "Hot Topic Goth Music". To me they're in the same genre with GNR, hard rock with some ballads in the mix.

izzygirl Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Metalcore or mathrock. Dubrock maybe. Garage revival. Emo. Postrock.What is The Killers pigeonholed as?Indie rock, alternative rock, post-punk/new wave revival, heartland rock. I have no idea what Heartland rock is but I like how it sounds so, The KIllers are heartland rock for me. Edit: I've just read at Wikipedia what Heartland Rock is and apparently Springsteen is the biggest act in this genre (), so definitely Heartland Rock is the best subgenre.

Heartland rock was what they called it in the 80s and early 90s - Mellencamp, Seger, Springsteen, Fogerty, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley, etc. Pretty much most bands who've played Farm Aid (with some exceptions). Bands that were influenced by them became "Americana", "alt country", "roots" or country rock. Springsteen, Petty and Mellencamp covered all those bases for years.

DirtyDeeds Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is math rock and why is it called that? I like math, and I like rock, but I suspect I would prefer to enjoy the two separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 What is math rock and why is it called that? I like math, and I like rock, but I suspect I would prefer to enjoy the two separately.lots of complex ever changing rhythms and crazy time signatures. the guitars are more prominent and usually the vocals are buried in the mix.

Johnny Drama Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Grunge. Derp. Nothing has touched it in commercial and critical appeal since. Except hip hop of the mid to late 90s, but we're talking rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer, emo.KornThe Strokes/White StripesMy Chemical RomanceDillinger is considered mathcore, basically math rock fused with hardcore punk, and yeah Miss Machine is a great album.

wasted Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thats the one I got, then Miss Machine then another that i lost. Once you get past the abrasive lyrics theres lots of cool parts to their songs. Raging Speedhorn also like that but more metal. We Will All Be Dead Tomorrow is heavy record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
