MTV becoming whatever the hell they've become absolutely killed any notion of original "rock" IMO. As a result, you have this sorta homogenized, formulaic stuff that "works" for a brief period time and then rinse/repeat. The Nickelback/Creed/"Dad Rock" sorta thing. I remember at one point somebody layered like three Nickelback songs on top of one another and they were pretty much identical with verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus...
It's sad, though, because there's some really great music being written/recorded but it doesn't fit the earworm thing that the masses want so it goes unnoticed.

I mean I've been a teacher for 20+ years and a musician for over 30. I used to walk into my building and there would be multiple kids playing guitar; we had a twice-a-year battle of the bands and most kids were super into music. Honestly, I cannot remember the last time a kid was just playing guitar around the building and the battle of the bands died about 10 years ago. Most of my students today listen to what TikTok told them too.
