Following User:Teflon Peter Christ's reversion of my edit to the lead, I've tried a different rephrasing of the point about rock's status in the 2010s/2020s. I feel that the claim of a "decline in cultural relevance" is quite subjective (relevant to whom? in what culture?), and while this is supported by sources, these sources are themselves think-pieces, opinions. I also didn't like the overly USA-centric nature of the phrasing, and I'm not sure that the specific point about hip-hop being more popular travels across the world in quite the same way. I've tried to rewrite that paragraph to avoid too much editorialising, to show that rock is sharing the pop music ground with other genres much more. Happy for it to be reworked, but I don't feel a revision to the previous phrasing is a particularly satisfactory outcome either. Super Nintendo Chalmers ( talk) 09:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Some people like to cite Clevand, Ohio as the birthplace of Rock but they are evidently wrong. Rock music was founded in Houston, TX by a man like Goree Carter. Trenchcoatjohn ( talk) 17:20, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
