aka underage impressionable kids/teens/adults thinking.

No, it's evolved.

Rock is too broad so it was dead on arrival.
Literally anything with guitars and drums has been labeled rock at one point by someone.

No. Rock has changed. It isnt as popular chart-wise as it was 10 or 15 years ago, but who cares about that shit, 90% of the music in the billboards charts is shit. Rock is as good as it has always been. Current examples? Carseat Heardrest, Angel Olsen, Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool, Blackstar and the list goes on an on.

No. You have Encenathrakh s/t in 2015 being one of the greatest albums of any genre of all time and Rend Each Other Like Wild Beasts just in 2009 which is not long ago for an album of it's supreme quality.

Also, it's less dead than jazz music and way less dead than classical music.

All the packed bar gigs in my city say that rock is not dead.

it's now a boutique genre like jazz
