This is true. The electronica scene has surpassed the jamband scene.

My job has me working with high school aged kids on the daily. The kids with tie dye and hemp necklaces that I used to be into jambands are now into electronic music. They'll still wear some Grateful Dead shirts because they're cool, but they don't know shite about the Dead. It may come back around, but the live jamband scene peaked a while back and has been replaced with electronic music.

I should add another major point of difference:

Back in the day, I could spot a kid with a grateful dead shirt on, and I could start talking to him about the Beatniks, Clockwork Orange, Terence McKenna, Miles Davis, and various sub-cultural touchstones. The kids these days don't have a freaking clue. I'll think they're cool countercultural kids who have some knowledge about the world, and they're all like, "Hey bro, got some molly?"

Maybe I'm just living in a nostalgic delusion, but I swear we were smarter than these kids.
