In 1998, Richard Meltzer wrote that rock music "was possibly once needed, but that was before it was everywhere—when you didn’t hear it in supermarkets or coming out of every Mercedes at a stoplight—before 'rock-surround.' What we need now is to turn it off." The world where rock music is scarce is impossible for me to imagine, as that world had vanished before I was born.
