I don't think any genre dies.
I think people just remember the amazing bands that came out of the 90s and assume that they all released albums every year, every day. It obviously goes in cycles.
You always discover new music, or older music that comes from a time when you thought a certain kind of music was dead.

That is actually very decent for a high school band. If they continue to improve they could well end with a record deal.

so things are going preety good with them. im good mates with the drummer so if they keep on improving maybe i could live of him 😂

I've enjoyed a great many rock albums this year.
It's not dead, maybe just changing in a way you dislike.

Also, I forgot about Spiritual Beggars. They are one of my favourite bands. One of the few new ones I like. Audioslave was pretty good, White Stripes are okay. Most of that garage rock revival stuff is pretty much generic garbage though.
The White Stripes are a pretty multi-faceted band. I don't think you can lump them in with anybody, i.e. "Garage rock revival garbage".
I've listened to plenty great rock albums this year....
Rush - Snake and Arrows, Tomahawk - Anonymous, QOTSA - Era Vulgaris, Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Black Planet, and The Whitestripes - Icky Thump to name a few.

You have different taste to me, so obviously we'll enjoy different albums.

It has been a long time since rock has had anything truly groundbreaking occur. Solid rock bands are few and far between. So talk about rock bands since the mid-nineties that are keeping the rock in rock these days.
I don't think it's dying, but just changing. I don't really enjoy the direction its been taking, but soon we'll hopefully have some better stuff, more original stuff popping in soon.
