Are we currently in a new era of rock music?

It seems as though the term "alternative" is effectively dying out. The grunge era with Pearl Jam/Nirvana that transitioned into the "alternative" stage with bands like Incubus, Chili Peppers, etc. of the 90s are starting to fade off - making way for the "indie" rock genre that is continuously saturating the market with bands such as Band of Horses, Local Natives, Grizzly Bear, etc, etc.
These new bands are actually full of talent and I see a lot of staying power for this current sound of music, anyone agree?

If I'm correct, RHCP have been big since the early 80s. Before Nirvana and Pearl Jam even formed. But good try.

It is so hard to predict music trends. 5 years ago I would not have guessed that electronic music would be the biggest thing out. It has truly caught on like a wildfire. Rock music is more alive than most give credit for, though.

I guess you get partial credit. Their first album was released in 1984 but I don't think anyone would consider them big until Mother's Milk was released in 1989. BSSM put them over the top in '91.

This is the EDM era whether you like it or not.
As far as rock is concerned, I think we're in a transition period much like the late 80s and very early 90s.
Don't forget that when Nirvana debuted their groundbreaking album and music style, Mr. Big was a hit.
Think about that. Think about the incredible difference between Mr. Big, hairband music, and Nirvana's style.
I believe that an unknown band will soon drop a musical atomic bomb and at that time we'll know that music has changed.

If it's about to happen it's way past due given the nuclear winter the music industry (particularly rock, country, and pop music) has experienced the last 15 years. The music industry had a great run from the birth of rock n roll in the late 50s through about the mid 90s. The run of great enduring music was bound to end at some point hence the complete wasteland of the last 15 years. It's time for a revival of decent music.

Not really, unless you count the EDM influence on indie, pop and alt rock.
