Televise the Rock Category at The Grammys

The Issue

While The Grammys claims to offer a "diverse" range of music in their event, they have in recent years eliminated the Rock category, music's biggest-selling genre, from the televised portion - while Rap, R&B, Pop, and Country are all highlighted.  This is not diversity, and it contributes to the ongoing, tragic death of rock culture, an extremely important staple of western civilization.  We need to keep the spirit of rock and roll alive with the mainstream media coverage it so well deserves.  

Last year (2019), Greta Van Fleet won Best Rock Album hours before the main event even started, to a half empty room, while AC/DC was played on the loudspeakers  - instead of the music being awarded.  Greta Van Fleet and the other Rock nominees gained no exposure, or recognition that one should expect from winning such a historically prominent Grammy Award.  

Solution: 

Improve the success of the Grammys by televising the Rock category, starting 2021, to give not only the artists, but the viewers worldwide an experience we can all be happy with.  

Sincerely,
