The Smartest Rock Band Right Now

    Rock n' roll has undoubtedly fallen off hard since the last century. The 90s had a Grunge trend, in the 2000s we had Garage Rock revival, Pop-punk, and Emo. But in the 2010s Rock music just wasn't doing anything, basically. The trap wave probably murdered Rock music in the mainstream. Rock bands like Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys were still doing numbers, but their audience is possibly middle-aged men. But there's one band that single-handedly, still carries on the Rock game. That band is Bring Me The Horizon.

BMTH

    Among all these metalcore, scene bands, they were the band that made the furthest and still continued the rock sound over the years. With songs like Can You Feel My Heart and Throne still popular on Tiktok, it's safe to say that Bring Me The Horizon has a large appeal to the new generation. Most importantly, their sound is actually not bad. Sempiternal to That's The Spirit, Amo to the latest EP Post Human: Survival Horror, they've managed to remain popular and still evolving, leading the whole Rock scene. Keep changing your sound pretty much equals pissing your"original fans", but that's the reason why they're still at the top after all these years. 

    I'm not a huge fan of their pre-Sempiternal era, they're not bad but not special. I see Sempiternal as a turning point for BMTH, the first change for them, stylistically. And without a lot of people noticing, they left a huge impact on the 2010s metal & rock scene. The payoff was the loss of the original fanbase, but slow and steady, they gained a brand new, diehard fanbase over the years.

    

Sempiternal

    Right now, it's the post-genre era for them. It's hard to define what is post-genre, maybe songs like DiE4u or the latest Bad Habits remix? For me, this is undoubtedly my favorite era, the Survival Horror EP is so damn good. If you haven't heard that, definitely check that out. What kind of music are they doing next? Who knows. But I'm so excited about their next album.
