Ummm...no, you directly insulted the people who listen to it, along with the music itself:

Perhaps actually thinking about what you post prior to typing it may prove helpful in the future.

So, let me get this straight, the rock form has been in existence for over 50 years, but in that time you have failed to notice that there are a strikingly wide array of genres in the form -- perhaps more variations than in any other type of music? Again, I ask what songs or artists you are referring to specifically, and in which monastery are you cloistered?
Rather than this continued ambiguity, I suppose it would be of assistance to the rest of us lower mortals if you would condescend to tell us what music you prefer, because, as a musician myself, I know and have played alongside plenty of classically-trained and/or jazz-influenced artists who would neither make such outrageous statements, nor debate attributes of music without first laying the groundwork for such a discussion with specifics.
Otherwise, your diatribe has little merit.
