Rock Is Dead Lyrics

This song is a big "fuck you" to Billy Corgan who said that Rock is Dead. As much as I love MM, I kinda in a twited way, agree with Billy. That everyone is listening to the Britney Spears' and N'Syncs' of the world, and that is what killed rock. I personally liked the 90s, which was a Rock golden age. Also, MM takes a Nietzschian standpoint in the message in this song saying that we are doing what everyone else is doing, listening to what the sheep is listening to, that we are no longer individuals, but a herd following a shepard, a false god if you will.

@the Edge Ironic you say that about Billy Corgan since MM is now opening for Smashing Pumpkins on tour. 2015
