No. A basis of rock is blues. These folks drove the blues music into the ground to the point where it has restricted them. Even us guitar players make fun of it now. The new rock will shed it's blues roots I think and be more unrecognizable. I see a great shift in poplarity and influence in stuff that is clearly very rock based but has shedded its blues basis, bands like Infected Mushroom, Meshuggah. Sorry but I am under the impression Greta Van Fleet and Ghost are just boomer bait and not meaningful contributions to movement at all. The existence of Jack Black and that popularity is a sign it the old ways of "classic rock" became a parody of itself. You will also be able to see a huge growth in more creative means to this end since now entire studios can fit on your lap.

The early days of rock are clear and they were blues based they beat it into the ground and now the direction is being taken many different places.

I am not a historian but am a huge music fan and musician who plays music from before written history to now. People do a thing, then someone else comes along and does it extremely well so everyone likes that, then everyone does that, over saturation occurs then people use those same methods but to meet a different end as a rejection of what was done before. Those people who do it as a rejection do it extremely well and the cycle repeats. Like the spirit of classical music rock won't die but it may become unrecognizable to its former self
