>Rock has not been at the center of the culture for over 30 years.

They heydays of MTV centered on rock bands. (Especially if you include grunge.)

Centered on rock maybe, but constantly nipped at by the dominant forms of music today. MTV was Rock's swan song.

20 years is a pretty long swan song.

About a single generation. Coincidence? I don't think so.
