Rock Music Popularity Collapse
Popularity of Rock Music Over the Years Ratio of Total Songs Released Year 30000 BC 10000 BC 2000 BC 1400 1920 2020
A line chart titled “Popularity of Rock Music Over the Years” shows rock music apparently dominating song releases throughout prehistoric and ancient history, collapsing around 2000 BC, and making a small comeback in the modern era. The joke is the absurdly misleading timeline: rock music is treated as if it existed long before recorded history, while its popularity nearly disappears and then rises again around the twentieth century. It is useful as a reaction to exaggerated historical charts, misleading statistics, or claims that a genre has always been popular.
