Sorry, but this is spoken like a true curmudgeon.
Can I ask where it is you live to see hordes of young people finding solace in classic rock (or any sort of purely guitar-based music) ? Except maybe in US rural communities where it's all about country music (always has been, always will be) those days are well and truly over.

Meanwhile electronic music has taken millenials by storm.
Tomorrowland festival sold out nearly 400.000 tickets in 40 minutes a few weeks ago. Same kind of numbers every year for Electric Daisy Carnival in the US.
Never in history has there been so much quality music released every day in all genres, because musicians can now do so without the gatekeepers of the past, much like Youtube has shattered the TV networks.
The consequence of that is that it's all about fragmented niches and discovery can be challenging. But there is gem after gem in my Spotify "Weekly Discovery" playlist. There has never been a more exciting time to be a music lover !
