Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

I'm in the midwest USA and even here you can see Hip-Hop and EDM taking over where pop and rock would've been the go-to. All the venues/bars that play rock look like a retirement home party now. I'd much rather dance to a DJ then a cover band playing the same shit I've heard a million times over the last 30 years.
