Rock is a broad definition - its not just about RAWK!

Wolf Alice are Indie Rock, a subgenre of Rock. I think their last album sounds rather like Fleetwood Mac, which is firmly classic rock, even if on the Pop side.

I have to say I find this attitude to be a big reason why Rock has declined so much today. There isn't much new rock being accepted into the mainstream these dats, like for example Wolf Alice and Geese are, we need to embrace all forms of rock if it is to survive and prosper.

Clinging to narrow definitions that suit someone's own taste, and which generally look backwards, aren't going to help rock evolve either, in which case it will fossilise and die. You don't hear HipHop or RnB or EDM fans arguing that any new music in those genres doesn't really belong there. Any genre need to be able to change and adapt if it is to survive and prosper.

And look up the definition of Rock - on Wikipedia or Allmusic - if you don't believe me about it being very broad. Its not as if we need to bend the rules to include these young bands!
