`  idk about that.  during the 90s most bands pussed out and started selling softer albums so they could sell more.  Sure, every once in a while youll hear a new hard rock song from some random band on the radio, but since the early 90s hard rock has really decreased in popularity.  For example, a radio station that is where im from used to only play ``modern`` hard rock, but they had so little to play they had to switch to hard rock from the past few decades.  idk what bands he thinks ``evolved`` from hard rock.`
