Is rock music dead in the literal sense? No. There are still excellent bands making new music, recording with actual instruments and releasing quality albums.

That said, music is always evolving. Although hip-hop and pop music dominate today’s charts, these genres show rock influence. Artists like Post Malone, who recently featured Ozzy Osbourne on his latest album, exemplify this influence.

As music evolves, music-based video games can evolve right along with it.
