There's a reason for the old saying "Rock n roll will never die"

I think it's better off not being on top. The thing is, when you're super-popular, every record label will try to control you and milk you for as much money as possible before they throw you in the trash. All the good things in rock happened despite its popularity, not because of it, by artists fighting for the right to experiment against record labels who cared only for the bottom line.
By not being as popular, there's less pressure on rock. There's more space to experiment and try things, more room to manoeuvre that it didn't have when it was a cash cow. Record labels want a guaranteed money-making formula. When grunge hit it big, they just rushed to sign post-grunge bands that could duplicate the sound in the idea that it would just continue being big forever.

Reply to Is 2000’s rock a bygone era? Breaking Benjamin, Korn, Slipknot, Godsmack, etc. by Dull-Refrigerator-33
Not sure if this is the same, but I loved Highly Suspect’s and Shinedown’s newest albums last year. I will listen to the new Godsmack this morning. Thanks for mentioning it! I see something new from Pop Evil that I need to check out, too :)

Not sure why we both got downvoted for this, but if you're looking for innovation in music then this guy, Ren, is one of the new hot properties appearing in the UK scene.

Parkway Drive stopping a song to see a kid stage dive off the third floor balcony.
Same venue I got to see Limp Bizkit on Halloween where they all dressed as Gun N Roses. Guitar tech spent most the night replacing the smoke in Wes' mouth

I believe that ROCK is making a comeback - My music show is gaining traction here in SW Florida and we just launched a streaming channel that showcases unsigned bands and indie artists that has been going gangbusters - currently on ROKU - search streaming channels for Sunset Island Cafe - we will be migrating over the next year to the other services like Firestick, APPLETV

This was more popular than most early rock and roll.
This charted higher than Hendrix.
This charted higher than the Sex Pistols.
This charted higher than Nirvana.
Even a rock heavy year like 1994, this was still the highest selling, most played song.
Rock is almost never as popular as pop, never has been. Might get a couple of singles up there, but more years than not, the top of the charts are usually dominated by pop or easy listening.
Difference between rock and pop is pop does better at the time, but good rock stays forever. Rock is just as important now as it ever was.

classic rock hasn’t been on top but rocks been in the top charts up until the mid 2010s or so. imo it’s an angst driven phenomenon that coincides with generations so especially with the recent climate it’ll be back in the top mainstream charts again.
