***My Voice Must Be Heard***

I am going to come out and say it. Rock is dying. It is not what it use to be, though I enjoy the new type of music, it is different and has changed. What happened to AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Van Haylen and all them? Rock is dying, or at least it is morphing to become something new.
Now we have cool new bands like Hawthorne Hieghts, The Used, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and ECT. but we haven't any old school rock bands. We have punk rock, hard rock, emo rock, goth rock, soft rock, hard core rock, but no Old School Rock.
If you think about it, rock has opened so many doors to new kinds of music and now isn't even recognized sometimes. For example some other genres of music rock has created would be:

1). metal
2). death metal
3). pop rock
4). rock-abilly
5). angst
6). grunge
7). punk
and much more, so really think about it and question yourself this:
What would music be like if we didn't have rock? and Do we really want rock to disapear?
