It's still dead in the mainstream world and pop music. 

That's because most mainstream and pop music is bland and watered down for the masses, why many out there still enjoy great range and sophisticated tastes.

Doesn't that explain why it doesn't sell well anymore? I was just trying to answer the question...

I honestly dont see it 

 

It's a classic genre, though. I mean, she did jazz and killed it. Rock might get the older genreations to pay attention to her music, and who knows, they might even become Little Monsters themselves if she does do a great rock album.

You're telling me the music of The Beatles, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Elton John, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, and so much more is dead?

I don't think so 

Why are y'all so triggered?? The OP asked whether rock sells well and I answered no, because its pretty obvious that rock is dead NOW. It's non-present in pop music.

So why did none of it's singles chart on the billboard Hot 100? We are talking about blockbuster levels of success here.

They're classic musicians. You can't say that "they're dead", they just aren't. A lot of people still love them and continue to love them. Their music is timeless. There are still plenty of old-school, rock musicians that are still touring and selling their music.

Because they're legends, left a mark in the music and did their job.. Gaga still hasn't, she's still working on her image and reputation.

Let's look at the billboard year-end charts for 2008:

10. Forever - Chris Brown

16. Disturbia - Rihanna

17. Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna

20. Closer - Ne Yo

23. 4 minutes - Madonna

...and a few more from there. It might not be a lot of dance music, but it's still there. As compared to rock music in the year-end charts for 2015:

6. Shut Up and Dance (a very unique exception)

.

.

.

43: Centuries - Fall Out Boys

...

Not on the same level.

But they became legends because of their music. Gaga can and will do the same in the future, if she makes a great rock album she could make rock become mainstream again. If I remember correctly, KISS did say that she could bring rock music back.

 at the rock haters. As mentioned before, just because rock isn't in doesn't mean it stays that way. Gaga helped EDM claim mainstream pop for the next 7-8 years. Jazz wasn't big for our generation until C2C was given attention.

If it's really good rock--it will sell and smash.

I mean the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, the guitarist of Stone Temple Pilots, Queen already worked with her. The lead of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest believe in her rock capabilities.

...which means it's dead.
