Will rock music become so niche and unpopular that filmmakers stop using it for movies or tv series?

[Nizam al-Mulk]

Or is that something that will not happen in the next 20, 50 or 70 years?

Well, I love rock in all its various forms, but I wouldn't miss it if it weren't used in any TV series. I mean, I cherish the fact that rock is used on soundtracks, but if it isn't used , I wouldn't bother.
Rock is a stage animal and studio thing to listen to with your mind, heart and body.

What would you replace it with in action / adventure movies for example?

Maybe it's coz I don't watch so many action/adventure movies anyway, but some rock soundtracks have nothing to do with the movie theme in any case. I dig sci fi and horror movies and many of them have great rock soundtracks. A lot depends on the plot of the

No,it is not the plot, where the filmmaker puts the song.

I never thought about that. It will definitely happen and that makes me sad. Part of getting older, though. Nothing lasts forever.

What makes you so sure?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

No I think it will still get used assuming it fits the scene. Filmmakers still use classical as much as anything else and it's not like that's tearing up the charts.

 

[PurpleStorm]

No.

Next.

It's hard to imagine rock will ever be unpopular when I see so many Gen z at the rock concerts I go to. Crazy to see how many teens and 20 something's into the 90s bands I grew up listening to. Even newer bands like the Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes are loved by younger people.

So while new rock might be a low point, interest in the genre is definitely not dead.

Probably wont stop completely, but we have already seen a huge drop in its use already and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. The genre itself will be around for the foreseeable future, but its use in movies and tv is dwindling still.

Plus, things in pop culture change so quickly, we don't know what's going to be popular in five years. Rock music could be back on top in 10 years because people get fed up with certain types of pop or even more importantly rap/hip-hop music.

Very true.

Seen it go up and down in the 30+ years of listening to it, so there is still hope the genre makes a triumphant return. If they continue making hip-hop more and more poppy and bland, people will turn to more edgy music again. Forever chasing the dragon.
