evreything after the 80s is so called Modern rock, even on 2020 or 2030 the term modern rock defins 90s rock, 90s rock = modern rock, no mather how far you are removed from it, you can say the term modern rock can be marked with the releases of Pearl Jams Ten and Nirvanas Nevermind, with the subsequent wave fo bands who wanted to follow that sound or to alternativeate their own sound, like Smashnig Pumpkins, Radiohead, Janes Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls, 

the heyday of grunge and brit pop/rock can be said to be the defining terms of modern rock, becouse they defined the sound of the modern rock groups, Oasis, Blur, the Hives, the Cardigens, somehow you can also put in the mid 80s synth pop who moved towards alternative rock also like a-ha who had a alternative rock sound as well as synth pop sound, Talk Talk who moved from 80s synth to 90s post rock/alternative rock, Tears for Fears who went for a more artsy aporach, with Seeds of Love,, lots of undercurrents which would help define modern rock

All bands are just recycling old things more or less. True, but isn't that how someone creates something new? Sure something is going to sound like a song you heard before but inside the music most likely there is something new added to it to make it completely different, but all at once you can see where artist possibly got the inspiration. That something new has to be "indentity", it has to be that magical element that seperates the artist not only from his inspiration but also from every other new band that used the same influence and inspiration or else it is just a tribute at best or a pale immitation at worse. This does not require something radically different or new, it's more a combination of all the parts adding together to making something that is original.   This sounds difficult, but I don't think it is - when you have something simple like the three instrument line-up of guitar, bass and drum that can be either Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Police, Nirvana, Green Day, Blink-182, Placebo, Manic Street Preachers, Biffy Clyro, Wolfmother or Muse without sounding like each other (or anyone else) then it's not their influences and inspirations we're listening to, nor is it just those three instruments.

I see what you're saying... Good point.

AFI, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, The Offspring's latest album, Rise Against etc.
