Not much of a surprise really. Rock is a dying genre and while guitars are still featured in all sorts of music, you simply don't have any rockstars left that make kids want to go pick up learning guitar for a year or two before getting bored. There is no kid convincing their dad to buy them a guitar so they can be like Slash anymore. They're all DJ's now
As a someone who plays but has mostly stopped listening to guitar-based music, it's kinda sad to see and be a part of.
