Your right, Bruce never had swagger. Just that I smell like your mechanic swagger. BTW, yer a quart low.
I guess the new generation of Rockstar don't need no swagger, dont need no drugs or alcohol addiction. Don't need to act like their lyrical content is the sacrificial lamb of Rock n Roll.
They've seen the generations before them and all the self inflicted damage, and want no part of it.
In Sam Fender's case, his pops was a teacher and musician. His siblings are musicians. I reckon not everyone has to follow too close to their musical hero.

I don't really know what bro country is, but if you mean those youngish chaps who look like male catwalk models and who like to be photographed in their dirty jeans slouching against Crazy Cooter's truck, then credit where credit's due - it's a very good disguise.

I don't think there will ever be a big, singular 'rock' star ever again. There's a lot of cool rock adjacent music coming out right now, especially in the shoegaze/indie scenes but the era of like, old school radio rock seems dead to me. Which is fine. There were enough of those bands back in the day. The metal world is constantly changing and evolving too, but that's not the point of this thread.
Everything moves in cycles. Pop/rap is big today, rock will come back around eventually in one form or another.

On the grand printed-in-history-books scale, that's pretty accurate.
The way that media is consumed now vs then means nothing else like them on that scale will reach like that with similar impact.
In the sense that we have obliterated Englishmen selling out arenas with reworked American blues riffs and postwar angst? No, those guys are all grown up.
But we do have sober Frenchmen, selling out arenas with reworked Nordic metal riffs and postmodern angst:
Might I add, he's a Telecaster player...

Nope, it's all over. Your generation thought up all the good music, so by rights you can scoff at anything made by anyone younger than you; that's how people will know you're a connoisseur of great music and super cool to talk to about same.

Have you not come across Amy from Amyl and the Sniffers?Rock needs another Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics to stir things up a little.

Rockstars were made by the labels making large advances that could then be spent on drugs, fast cars and groupies. None of such is happening anymore, why would anyone become a rockstar without the "incentives"

Close , but she's not wearing plungers on her breasts. I would post the video to "Butcher Baby" but I don't want to get in trouble.
