Its is the perfect recepies for adult who are not grown ups...and those who have grown out of this great music ....They cherish it for the joy it gave them when they were young!

What is your definition or rock music? What sounds are rock these days? When you say Rock is not mainstream in India, do you not contradict your title? If it is counter-culture why would you expect it to be mainstream? It has done very well without any promotion, don't you think? Would (c)rap not be the counter-culture soundtrack to young people your age? Like Fifty Cent, D-12, Kanye West etc? Do you believe counter-culture can endure? So what about California rock sounds? Some 4-5 years ago, a classmate of mine at Cambridge, barely 22, was visibly delighted to see that I not only knew Red Hot Chili Peppers but I also knew the lyrics and the odd beats etc. I had to tell him they were around before he started primary school (so to speak). Will Nickelback have the same appeal as the Stones/ Rod Stewart and other renuiting bands such as Genesis and the Police have managed to revive? Which of these do you consider 'rock' or counter-culture? What about Pet Shop Boys? They were distinctly pop, but still counter-culture in their theme I think. Do you consider Keane rock or not?
