So does Rock have even the slightest relevance to young rebellious teenagers anymore?

It seems like kids have too many distractions these days to actually learn to play an instrument well. But what makes guitar based music uncool to kids these days is that their baby boomer parents like it... and anything that is cool to your parents is totally unhip naturally. In the Middle East Rock music is cool because their parents HATE that they listen to it.
