Music?

How many of my MySpace friends are seriously into music? What kind of music? I see Emo seems to be popular now, which is cool to me, since basically any kind of interest in rock music is a good thing to me. A friend of mine told me that ALL rock music is now "underground" music since rock music is no longer played on the radio. I haven't listened to the radio in a really long time, so I have no idea what's being played on there now.

I feel like I have a pretty close community of people who are both musicians and also just love music, so I find out about new stuff from them on Facebook. Oakland (California), where I live, has a thriving underground/DIY live music scene, except that it got completely shut down because of Coronavirus. Everyone here is just waiting for Coronavirus to go away so we can go back to the lives that make us happy, and live music is a big part of that.

For 3 years I was the most active video documentarian of my specific music scene in Oakland, and I'm now taking my 450+ hours of live music video footage and crafting it into a feature length documentary, but I'm also juggling a bunch of other projects I'm working on. I don't know if I wait too long to finish the documentary if no one will care about the music anymore, but people have told me the film will still be "relevant" because the music in it is so good (and it is).

Since most of my friends on this "fake" MySpace seem to be Gen Z (and I already have an extremely high impression of that generation), if any of you are about to graduate high school and are considering places to potentially move to that have active music scenes, feel free to reach out to me and I can tell you my experiences of all of the places I've lived and what their music scenes are like.
