Simples when you thinks abouts its.
The slight downside is that the drivel from the present hasn't been yet, which I think is what makes people think everything was better in the past. But give it time...
Rock is no longer really 'main' mainstream, that's true - for the best, I would say.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
This subject raises its head quite often on TFB - but it makes me wonder... when was the perceived ‘golden age’ of guitar rock being ‘everywhere’? The Carpenters or Barbra Streisand sold more albums than Deep Purple, back in the 1970s. Punk never really troubled the charts - disco was far more popular in the Top 40 at the time. So enlighten me - when was the charts full of rock?
That's true, but it doesn't answer the question of "why doesn't anyone make music now that sounds like music from 20-40 years ago that I have 20-40 years of nostalgic feeling invested in?"
Or indeed "why doesn't the top 20/40/100/200 on (today's date) match the quality of (selections from most critically acclaimed artists of your favourite entire decade)?"
It's an easy trap to fall in to- asking legitimate questions about where to find good music in a world that's unrecognizable from the one most of us grew up in, but having them come out sounding like some miserable old bugger's "they don't make 'em like they used to back in my day, and anyway, get off my lawn" rant, when that isn't what you meant.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Ha! You're going to find yourself in the middle of a serious "no true Scotsman" shitstorm, asking that.
I suspect there is a... er... range of strongly held opinion here about what is and isn't allowable as "rock".

Say we're about ready for a Blues revival (well if Guitarist's Dad music covers are to be believed )

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
but the chart music of the time was more rock influenced and used more guitars etc even if the product was pop music
e.g. Abba ....Benny still played guitar on TOTP etc .........today there wouldn't be a guitar in sight (maybe a Ukulele or a bass but rarely a guitar unless it's that overexposed,overproduced ginger-haired busker and his drivel lyrics )
So although we've still got the old stuff, as you say, it's now minority taste stuff that doesn't have value to the average music fan.
Classic rock and pop music is in the process of becoming like early jazz. The best of it will continue to be critically rated but young music fans will play lip service to how good it is while avoiding spending much time actually listening to it. Meantime as others have said old fogeys will decry newer pop, which will in turn become the classic music for its own generation and the old-fashioned shit no-one listens to for the following one.
