rock still is fun
The genre takes itself too seriously. They want to be "artists" more than they want to be "rockstars". They want to be Sammy Hagar, not Roth.
Been that way since the grunge era.
That's the reason why airy, fun rock bands see so much rapid commercial success.

Which is probably why one of my favorite albums of 2012 was Van Halen's "Different Kind of Truth". They didn't try to re-invent the wheel, they didn't try to blend in with current trends in music. The album could have very easily been released 30 years ago and fit in well during the DLR Van Halen run.
But don't get me wrong, I like some of the current rock, too. But sometimes I just want to crank it up and not feel introspective
