Cobain was the last rockstar. Then the Monoculture began to split.

there will always be a large subset of mopey white kids who 'get into rock'.
youtube is full of, like, 14 year olds listening to Talking Heads and Beatles records.
but it's probably dead.

it doesn't work that way. art forms have a life cycle. there are whole branches of academia dedicated to demonstrating this.
it's like asking, 'why doesn't someone write like William Shakespeare in 2024?'
it would come across as a pastiche. it would be impossible to 'do something new' with that form. it's ossified.
rock music is ossified. all the moves have been made. the cultural frame of reference that produced it no longer exists.

I don't necessarily think that's true. It would just take a different form. It wouldn't sound like a bygone era but you could still make music with distorted electric guitars, bass, drums, and vocals. It's not rocket science.
Take 2017's album Science Fiction by Brand New. This is a band that formed at the tail end of the 90s and reached peak popularity in the mid 2000s. Their last record is, if nothing else, a rock record. It doesn't sound like The Beatles or Van Halen, but it's still very much a rock record and relatively recent in the grand scheme.
Would it have been a more popular album in a different time period? Probably. But it still produced a minor hit on streaming services. My point is that it's still around and modern man can still make it. As to the cultural relevance as many have said surveys show fans still want to consume it. It may not reach the same widespread heights as it did in the 70s but there's still a solid appetite for it. And it can still be made. I insist there are other explanations for why not much of it is produced at a high level today.

that mystique left the building years, decades, ago.

good point.
but every time a boomer dies the mystique dies some too. just last week a HUGE musical talent JD Souther died. you'd have to be at least 50 if not 60 to even know who he was.

that's an interesting point about how music was written then and is written now. in the heyday rock stars were often bards and were revered as such.
i suppose the best rappers are still viewed that way.
