Finish the sentence. Music died the day

Music is alive and well. You just have to know where and how to find it.
When Rock Hudson pulled out of Liberace…..
The day that rock was no longer the dominant genre of music. Not a huge fan of rap, bro country or pop (there are some exceptions in all three).
Good stuff too:It was dead from 1988-1993. Probably the worst crap ever put out was during that period.
Guns n Roses
REM
U2
Pearl Jam
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Smashing Pumpkins
Tom Petty
Metallica
Black Crowes
Aerosmith 2.0

Yep, lots of musical diversity. Some of it was pretty bad MTV driven crap ((eye candy/horrible music).
Slight rant here:
For me it began with two entities: Lou Pearlman and MTV. Pearlman created and managed the top boy bands of the late '90s. Once that took hold, MTV followed and buried nearly every other genre. As the boy band craze faded, rock's (awful) response was nu-metal as Eminem broke through using creativity and shocking lyrics. Still though, it was MTV's initial all in on pop response that's lead to the "music machine" picking genres for us and then pushing that **** to the moon. Bro/pop country and the Nashville craze was next, so now we've got NashVegas, Nashville tv shows, 17 country award shows a year, and every city girl saying "hey ya'll" once they cross over the Tennessee state line. At the same time, music fans have been conditioned and convinced to believe rock music is dead and buried. "Don't even waste your time looking for it because it's gone. Okay, we'll give you the Foo Fighters I guess. Enjoy."

...singing became hollering and every note was beaten to death by vocal serial killers.
I would modify yours and say when MTV became a reality show network instead of Music Television. It was groundbreaking when music videos came out. Probably not a teen alive with access that didn't watch it. While older folks probably gravitated toward VH1.
I don't know the exact day but this guy was seen fleeing the area.
There’s a lot of great music out there folks if you just ignore whatever trends they’re trying to sell you.
But I read a study once that said when people turn 32 they stop searching out new music and just listen to the **** they’ve always listened to. Comfort food for your ears I guess.

When Syd Barrett did too many drugs, then Roger Waters and David Gilmour couldn't work things out.
Been downhill ever since.

My point about it was that it brought us the style over substance era of Madonna and that crap.
I will agree, but to take it further, I look back on music I ignored during my youth and now have a new found appreciation for. This mainly involves, for me, alternative rock like Husker Du, The Pixies, The Replacements, Sonic Youth, etc.
