No rock music as some kind of shared cultural phenomenon where everyone was cranking up "Slowride" on their jambox while climbing to the top of the water tower to smoke a doob? Not so much, but there's tons of great music out there.
That being said, I'm not going to begrudge you your nostalgia, I just think there's lots of good music coming out.
Check out The War on Drugs new album, "Lost in the Dream."

Can't remember where I came across this blog, probably here, but if anyone wants an endless supply of new music check this guy out. This is a 25 minute synopsis of his time at SXSW. I hadn't heard of more than a few of these people before this video...definitely going to check out Future Islands.
