Let’s get back to the mid eighties when hard rock bands and those were playing a softer yet strident kind of pop rock that became increasingly popular, groups began creating material inherently designed for large audiences, and arena rock developed from their use of more commercially oriented and radio-friendly sounds.
The often highly produced music, including both upbeat, dramatic songs and slower power ballads, features strong emphasis on melody and frequently employs anthemic choruses.
Other major characteristics include prominent guitar effects and the use of keyboard instruments
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame states that the late 1980s, is "considered a golden era of hard rock in terms of commercial airplay
Mainstream rock became dominated by these hair metal (also known as "glam metal" and "pop metal") bands, with a large emphasis still being put on both on music and visuals. Flashy clothing with elements such as heavy makeup and dramatic hairstyles became common.
Mainstream rock is the true successor to the widespread album-oriented rock (AOR) format created in the 1970s. However, mainstream rock can be used as a modernized update of classic rock if any radio station playlist has to cut back on some active rock artists and songs due to ratings and popularity demand.
It is becoming more rare to come across a rock station that will do so, meanwhile broadcasting and marketing the format. Mainstream rock is evolving into a sequel for the classic rock radio format, it is slowly removing any artist that are post 1990s and newer, this is a following trend since hardly any classic rock station will play harder and heavier songs and artists within their format.
Latenightdream just want to get back in time and pay tribute to those Rock radio stations that broadcasted this music and when those bands fillfulled stadiums to be named Arena Rock bands.
