Most "cool" kids today are the ones who listen to their parents' music, or even their grandparents' music. Even the good new stuff is in their parents' collection. How can they use music to rebel any more?

haha! I totally know how that feels! I can't rebel by music because my mom loves all the cd's I own and half the time i can't find them because she's borrowed them! soo unfair!!!
so I dyed my hair black and refuse to go anywhere without half an inch of black eyeliner on.

I don't know about America, but here at least, we've been in the grip of several years of bland/pseudosexy American music recently. So, when it comes to it, the current trend towards older music IS a sort of rebellion in itself: a rebellion against the wave of Americans and American-copycats that really aren't being as imaginative as our parents' generation.
The other important point to make here is that a lot of teenagers are asking exactly the same question as you. A growing number of young people are subscribing to (among others) Sandi Thom's idea that we've all been born too late. Hence the current craze for retro music.
Just my thoughts. (I'm 19, by the way.)

The first thing young people have to do is have a thought. Then become educated, and maybe - the young might be able to have a thought about using music to express themselves as they did in the 60's and 70's. That's before all this hate and anger filled rubbish in today's music came about. Not all of it just some of it......

Hip-hop and rap were invented by Russell Simmons and Sony music. The rebellious nature of the genre was fake. Kids ARE rebelling against this fake 'music' by going retro.
More power to them!

Cool is a cycle. The music trend, tends to go with society. As society has turn to the "throwback" generation...so is music.
Their will always be an edge to music as people will push the envelope in the name of being on the Avant Garde!!

i for sure truely believe that music has enough influental power to bring about a rebellion in the youth of today.i for one am a hardcore fan of linkin park and the music and lyrics of their songs are good enough to inspire a dead person to live again.

music is about self expression, not rebeling against something. if you enjoy listening to it, it's fine. i personally don't care that my parents don't completly hate my music.

No.... soz......... Music will never suprise again. atleast i don't think so, then again it's hard to think of something that hasn't happened, like a new colour. wonder if there's a colour that hasn't been seen yet? What would they call it?

because today's music s u x so completely, that it will annoy the living crap out of everyone. the rebellion will be that everyone will be yelling for them to turn it off, because its so hopelessly bad.
