welll... in Great Britain.. from the 1950s to some time in the 1980s
the electric guitar was viewed dismissively by the conservative established ruling order as an instrument / weapon
of working class expression, resentment, and rebellion...

... then in more recent decades, silver spoon fed public school kids
wanted to grab all that decadent sexy rock 'n' roll glamour and pop star fame for themselves...

Which is why so much modern rock and pop is even blander & more shite now than it was back in the early 1960s... 😜
