Rock music is not dead; it simply is not as popular as hip-hop or pop on mainstream stations. For fans of hard rock, Alice in Chains is soon to release a new album; its first album in fourteen years. This decade also saw the formation of Audioslave and Velvet Revolver; two bands that, although they are no longer active, released a few good albums. There are new bands such as the Silversun Pickups who are carrying the torch, so to speak. The rock genre is alive and doing well.
