Sadly I think you're right, and I'm well aware of how the electronic side of things is thriving. But that's the totally opposite side of the coin to what I was brought up with, to the bands I've played in, to who I am. It's a shame really, there's nothing to stop me showing up and enjoying that sort of performance, but I always just feel out of place, it isn't "my scene", as you might say.
As my own band finds itself playing to more and more half empty rooms as time goes on, I am starting to worry that we might be finally entering the age where those strutting, flamboyant rockstars wielding their axe whilst casually smoking a cigarette, or wailing into a microphone bare chested and dripping with sweat, are nothing more than a memory.
It frightens me because I might have to end up becoming one of those "grown ups" where you can tell they used to be a greasy long haired punk back in the days, but decided to pack it all in to wear sensible clothes and settle down with a family. I don't know how to reconcile that with my world view.
