The new millennium marked a new era of music – the age of mad rock. The young generation became impatient towards strums and drums and vocal pitches turned awesomely insane. It was the time when fashion was predominantly black and the night sky was bursting with screech and screams.

But that time is over – maybe not for all, but for those who have served rock music to barmy audience in the first ten years of the new millennium. Local rock bands aren’t appreciated by many people anymore, even by present-day teenagers, and their music isn’t highly requested as before.

Battles of the bands are becoming out of trend and people dress up to go clubbing instead. They would love to take control of the dance floor and raise their glasses than bang their heads and worship their rock idols. The only rock music that still cling the charts are those produced and performed by foreign rock bands, but even them felt the shockwave that froze the rock music industry. 

Well, for rock bands that made their names in the local market, it’s time to take a bow. Besides the new generation deserves a new otic twist. Let’s just compare this to fashion – the clothes you wore yesterday will soon be in trend in the coming years. It won’t take long and the new generation will soon appreciate rock bands, and this industry will soon hold the fort once again.
