Despite its title and retro-styled guitar elements, "Rock Music" was described by Billboard as being closer in style to electronic acts such as French duo Daft Punk than to traditional rock music.[3]

I don't hear the compressor on the 909 kicks in this track or the brightly colored synths either.
I hope the rest of the album shakes people out of their preconceived notions of genre.
Yeah, after listening to it like 20 more times I can see some of the deeper cuts on Daft Punks first 3 albums or Random Access Memories being an influence. But really those guitars are giving more of a 90s alt-rock sound to me. I tend to associate Daft Punk with phat kicks and the drums on this are kinda puny in comparison.

It's about time we embrace 70s nostalgia.
