Why is early '90s rock considered new?

Because early '90s rock is still popular.

Sorry friend but your generation is being assimulated by mine.\n\nVery few new stuff seems to be prominent. Lots of stuff from 80s and earlier.\n\nWe just don't want to give you a voice.

Because it actually was an alternative to the mainstream when the label was first applied in the early 90s.

i think it officially hit in the 2000s, but it would surprise me if it was first done in the 90's.

bohemian rhapsody and other old rock not the new stuff.

If they were any good, I suppose.  "Rock" has become so battered over the past ten years or so that it's almost lost its meaning.  Even if I don't like it, though, I'll say it's a great way to get noticed.  I've been on AcidPlanet (site for mainly electronic music) for years, and I've had one CD release already.  Post music, advertise, and encourage feedback--good or bad--because you have to break a lot of eggs to make a quiche.  I tell you what, if I like it, I'll even give you some exposure through my little network!  Good luck!

I assumed it would be the term for the old 45 records. I could be wrong though..:)

Majority of new music is composed via technology and there are sound samples that each band use to create their backing track and hence all new music will inevitably sound the same. \nUnless the band are actually musicans like razorlight or keane they will sample sounds to create a familiar beat and as drones we are happy with familiar sounds and hence the term popular music.\nIt is great when a new voice or new beat arises but they are few and far between - lets hope for a new musical era soon.

Well the 70s had the worst song ever in "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright. That song, and it's ensueing popularity, was the beginning of the end of the Classic Rock era (IMHO). The style, which includes bells, bottles, jars, etc...in the background, has been covered ever since the day that idiotic Gary Wright released it. Therefore, all pop music since then, 80s, 90s, and beyond have been skewed towards kiddies.

They are targeting consumers in the 30-50 year old range. We are the baby-boomers, the money-makers, the spenders. They want music that we can relate to, which is by no means the "now stuff" as you put it. It is a smart marketing strategy that works. Products that appeal more to teens do use "now stuff" music, such as cell phones and ipod commercials. They play what works to get the target's attention.

It goes in cycles.  Well, that is for someone like me who likes all kinds of music.  Early 90's Rock was way better, then Rap caught up and went ahead.  Thats just my opinion, but right now they both suck, there are a few bands and/or hip hop artists that stand out but neither sounds all that good to me these days.

I've always had a greater preference for rock than any other genre. I find it is rarely predictable or monotonous---something I've found true of many other music forms. There are fewer limitations on the kind or 'quantity' of sound that a person can hear in any one rock song. I think it is this combination of variety that particularly draws me to this sound.\n\nI'm personally a lover of grunge music and artists such as Metallica and Nine Inch Nails. Where the former is concerned, the dissonance, the "dirty" guitar playing, the strong riffs, and heavy drumming is awesome and out of this world! Bands from other rock sub-genres, such as Metallica and NIN, have made ground breaking contributions to the music industry. Their sounds have defied traditional musical norms and created unique, terrific sounds that remain unrivaled by many artists.

go back to the beginning. the first real punk band. the clash. the album is called london calling. they were the first. the punk of today is more neo punk. it is too stupid. punk had an important message in thier songs. it was more than just being rebllious. it was about being a free thinker bout being anti establishment for real reasons and about wantin gto bring about change and awareness not just dressing funny and dissing britney. go retro.

today's music does suck. i think the 60's and 70's was THE best Rock n Roll. Ever. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix... Today's music is all the same, heavy, chords, and screaming to the same riffs over and over again. Talent has definetley dropped over the past few decades.

AHHHH!!! I cannot stand the music made today! I only listen to 90s music, esp. NIRVANA and Blind Melon! There are sooo many more awesome bands of the 90s such as Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Sublime, etc. but Nirvana and Blind Melon have to be my favorites by far! All I have is 90s music on my iPod and I only listen to the 90s Alternative stations on my satellite radio.\n\n:-( Sorry to say that I can't think of a band out there today similar to the awesome bands you named but I just had to say something about this question!\n\nLong live 90s music! \nR.I.P Kurt & Shannon

led zeppelin\n\nbecause bands back then had talent.\n\nthe junk nowadays cant even be defined as "music"\n\ncomputer-generated-low-quality-talentless-ranting is a good synonym for todays new "music" though
