Actually the vast majority of modern rock music is instrument driven. Pop music started moving in the EDM direction way back, starting w/ disco, which was probably a big part of why there was such a backlash against it back then. Electronic vs. instrument oriented might actually be the single biggest factor separating the pop & rock genres.
I love a lot of classic rock bands. That's the core of the music I like the most. But I've always been able to find current bands that appealed to my tastes as well. There's good instrument driven music, alot of which would appeal to fans of different types of classic rock, out right now... there's a ton of acoustic folk rock, and there's quite a bit of bluesy soulful stuff, and there are really pretty emotional songs like "People Help the People" by Birdy or "Youth" by Daughter.
But if classic rock fans will only listen to classic rock or decide modern country is the closest thing to the music they like, then we will really end up w/ just EDM Pop, Hip Hop, & Modern Country.... Get out yer cowboy boots Hales. Nah she probably wouldn't do that. She'd go EDM pop before country. I'm excited.
My point is if you like classic rock, there's still good rock music being played on the radio. You might not just fall in love w/ a lot of it, but you'll find something that you like.
Like for example I love "Bright Lights" by Gary Clark Jr.

I can't imagine a fan of the blues or bluesy classic rock that wouldn't love this song, but most of them probably haven't heard it.
30CS2:you right about GCJr,this type of music don't make me crazy but
