Are Strip Clubs Keeping Mainstream Rock Alive?



Matthew Richardson,prefixmag.com. Anyone who pays attention to popular music has probably noticed that out of all the mainstream genres, modern rock is probably the least interesting. That's a realization that leads one to wonder, "Who is listening to this stuff, anyway?" Ex-Idolator Maura Johnston, after being tipped off by exotic dancer Bubbles Burbujas, who runs the site Stripper Tweets, suggested that the fact that bands like Shinedown, Buckcherry, Hinder, and Nickelback get tons of play in strip clubs might be an important part of their longevity. Sure, it's a stretch, but the entire conversation is pretty interesting.

Oh, and for anyone out there who's been waiting to hear "My Girls" or "While You Wait for the Others" at the club: According to Burbujas, it's not likely to happen. Even if you ask for the Michael McDonald version of the latter.Anyone who pays attention to popular music has probably noticed that out of all the mainstream genres, modern rock is probably the least interesting.
