L.A. Weekly has a lengthy piece on CBS KROQ in Los Angeles and asks the question, "Has KROQ lost its ability to, well, rock?" The piece highlights that the station is now peppered with artists such as Macklemore, Lorde, Daft Punk, and Avicii, none of whom could be considered rock. "It's quite possible that many of KROQ's fans over the years wouldn't recognize it today. In fact, KROQ now has a great deal of crossover with the pop-focused KIIS FM."

I totally agree with Realist. What KROQ plays is today's alternative whether the haters like it or not. Radio doesn't "break" new bands anymore due to the internet but they sure as hell "make" them.

They are an alternative station and that is the direction of Alternative Music today. I doubt if a country listener from 30 years ago (or even 20) would recognize the new Nashville drivel as their music either but that is the direction of the format. Stupid article written by critics who have no understanding of what consumers want.
