No. Rock and Roll is definitionally fusionist and has porous borders. Trying to find the line between “rock and roll” and “not rock and roll” is a sucker’s game.

My problem with e-Sports is that it’s so rare for me to see a person do something in a video game that is obviously impressive to me. It always just looks like someone “winning at a video game”. Other than Daigo parrying in Third Strike, I can’t think of an e-sports highlight where I’ve been like “holy shit, did a…
