Recording artists and bands from the 1950's to the end of the "Hair Metal" bands in the late 80's should not be included in your statement.
Say what you will about the MTV era of "Hair Metal" but it was an absolute blast and there was a ton of interaction between the band members and fans (especially the girls).
After "Grunge" took over, there was a lot of apathy (and a lot of clones) and the genre quickly died out, leaving rock music very splintered.
