Rock and Roll Suicide

Rock is officially dead. I got home from the gym today and my mom was watching Rock Star Supernova. This show is nailing the coffin shut on rock and roll. First of all the set asthetic of dark rock clothes, tight pants and dyed black hair is so hackneyed. The judges themselves are so far from relevent or cutting edge that most of them are pobably one step away from golden oldies. Lastly the crowd, Jesus Christ they look so forced like there all getting paid to blindly follow some "rockstar" who hasn't even proven themself with an original song or album. There basically cheering for some corporate schill who is the epitome of Rock and Roll.
Also something that bothered me was the fact that these people are all trying to be a lead singer yet one of them chooses a Talking Heads song to showcase there vocal talent. Are they out of there fucking mind?
