Compare and contrast the contributions to rock music of these 16 contemporary practitioners of RAWK with those of their 20th century antecedents. Are these modern RAWK bands better understood as engaging in retrogressive nostalgic reaction against the now dominant non-rock styles in popular music or as reinventing the styles of the last century by incorporating the more enlightened cultural values of today’s woke musicians? Be sure to discuss Brant Bjork, Fu Manchu, the Eagles of Death Metal, Black Rainbows, Datura4, and at least 2 more of the 11 other RAWKin’ bands from the mix in your essay.
