What does the Rock genre need to do in order to be big in the mainstream again? Or is it just dead forever?
It needs to start hitting a middle class to lower class demographic with big market infiltration, basically, and one that can be advertised as more than "white guys from somewhere in America/England" - whether nu-male-esque or full out cockrocking, it has to be something advertisable.

it's not about what rock can do, it's just that the general populace is too degenerate
yes you heard that right, too degenerate for rock n roll
More bands like Fozzy to fill the void left by the Seattle scene.
Also need more lyrical masterpieces rather than cut and paste mantras.
Up the phoniness, over patriotism, and display of wealth by 1000%
I mean there is enough drugs so I don't have any ideas

Holy shit, I've never thought about it that way, but you may be right. At least there was always the sense that these musicians sacrificed all other pursuits for perfection on their instruments. Now with technology, that's not even necessary. The bar for entry is impossibly low, and as a result the likelihood of transcendence is impossibly high. No kid has to spend hours every night for several weeks getting 20 seconds of a passage just right anymore when modern technology can just do it for you. Only the truly autistic (and therefore un-charismatic) have the drive to do that anymore.

Rock isn't getting back to the top of the mountain anytime soon as long as Rap and RnB are still the big money makers. Until those wells run dry, Rock won't be making any sort of triumphant return in the foreseeable future.
