*Insert logical fallacy here*

Modern rock music cannot possibly get any worse.

Rock music has slowly declined in its message, power, musical complexity, and originality, and it has crept dangerously close to the line that separates rock from its annoyingly bubbly little sister, pop. Pop has long been known for it's lack of originality and talent. Artists often curse themselves for being tricked, by photographers, into posing without clothing because they fear that it will brand them as a "pop star" or "teenybopper". Lately, modern rock has lost its credibility and rock stars now care more about fame and getting voted onto TRL then making good music. The easy listen has become more important than the quality one. This sentiment has caused rock musicians to narrow their musicianship to power chords and their lyrics to break-ups or obsessions, the signature of pop music. Therefore, modern rock music cannot possibly get any worse because then it would become pop and no longer rock.
