Pete Wentz Says Jaden Smith Could Be 'The Next Nirvana'

Jaden Smith could be our new Nirvana...well according to Pete Wentz! The Fall Out Boy bassist explained his reasoning to NME, highlighting how hip-hop's impact among the younger generation is just as grand as rock n' roll.

“I think it is on the back-burner. Over here in the US, hip-hop is super exciting for kids," Wentz said about the popularity of modern rock music. "I’ll be looking at my Snapchat on Coachella and that is rock n’ roll right now – it’s hip hop. I think that if rock music wants to be culturally relevant on a mass level you have to be open to updating it and changing it and making it a little weird. If you don’t it becomes quaint. That’s not what we’ve ever really been into.”
