The group were originally YouTube celebrities, posting videos of themselves covering songs from various artists during 2011 and early 2012.

Since when they are remembered.

They were never remembered

6 The Kinks The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1964 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most important and influential rock bands of the 1960s.

I think the author of this list wants to say that these bands are great but unfortunately most of the young people don't know them.

7 The Doors The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore.

The Doors are not losing popularity. Young kids don't hear them on their favorite station, because they have not put out any new music in 45 years. However, once those kids start to want to branch out from the vapid wasteland of current music, they inevitably find the Doors. Their popularity has remained steady for over 40 years now.

Look guys,I didn't say it in negative sense.I am just saying that these bands are fading away.Bands like these haven't got that kind of popularity that they had before.Barely some people know him. Especially teenagers.You can check it.You can ask but you'll know that only few people know them.If they keep losing their popularity at this rate then I doubt they'll be remembered after 20 years.Already bands like ramones or kinks are already forgotten

Nope, as long as there is rock music and swaggering frontmen in leather pants, Jim Morrison will always be the standard by which others are measured.

8 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's four albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home, Midnight Memories and Four topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", and ...read more.

It doesn't matter if they are forgotten tomorrow or next year or 20 years later.Especially for me.All that matter if I see people saying bands like Zep,Who or Doors are boring.Even after what they have done

I doubt these guys are gonna be forgotten, thanks to the fangirls.

Green Day "will be remembered" in twenty years? The only thing that will be remembered is how badly they stank.

Coldplay could be bad but they are better than one direction by thousands miles

15 Ramones The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first band to define the punk rock sound.

I don't understand this list. Why are all these good, classic bands here? This is quality music. If anything, Coldplay, Oasis, One Direction, and pretty much every new current band will be gone from everyone's memories before these guys all go. Except for the Ramones. They're forgettable, indeed.

I watched them when I was young.Their names also were use in cartoons.But I don't think someone knows him that much.

Ramones are very good but they are barely remembered.

16 The Allman Brothers Band The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman and Gregg Allman, as well as Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson.

18 Lynyrd Skynyrd Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American rock band best known for popularizing the Southern rock genre during the 1970s They are known for songs like "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Tuesdays Gone" .

The sooner it's forgotten, the better. The most dragging, never-ending, off-key, make-you-wanna-rip-your ears off, beer-swillin' redneck anthem ever to linger on and on and on and...

What?! Free bird will never be forgotten! EVER. This doesn't make any sense

19 Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin was an English hard rock band formed in London in 1968 as the New Yardbirds. The group consisted of Robert Plant (Vocal), Jimmy Page (Guitar), John Paul Jones (Bass, Keyboard) and John Bonham (Drums) and was very much the child of Jimmy Page who even financed their first tour. He had tasted some previous success with The [original] Yardbirds and was friendly with some big names in rock. Page states it was Keith Moon of The Who that claimed the band could only go down, like a lead balloon -- thus prompting the iconic name of Led Zeppelin. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors ...read more.

I know only two or three friends of mine who know them.Among them they only listened one or two songs of them.And one friend of mine only knows them but never heard their song.But everybody knows Justin Bieber or One Direction.Rock N Roll is dying.And if it dies then the classic rock bands will be forgotten first
