Don't worry, the kids are alright
Not that it helps the cover bar band scene in terms of making dollars, but that's not what rock n roll is about, is it?
The kids are not alright if they're growing mullets. It's a cry for help.

What have you got against Crumpets? They represent a quality choice for afternoon tea.Psychedelic Porn Crumpets recently came up in one of my Spotify discover playlists. They're pretty good. Too bad about the name, though.

I had a long and considered response typed out, but deleted it. If you want to give up on new music, go right ahead. It's your loss.

Rock music isn't dead. The industry has changed and is continuing to change. The days of starting a band, getting a following, having a hit record and becoming a multi-millionaire are over, but that's just the delivery system.
The fact that the infintisimal percentage of total music created today that is played on the radio consists primarily of generic pablum designed not to excite, but to not offend doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of great rock music still being written and performed. You just have to look for it.
