Rok2,
I think you are right about the golden age of teh various genres you sight being over.
Their influences in more modern music is perhaps stronger than ever though.
I find it easier to enjoy more modern music if I forget about traditional genre stereotypes. Listen to newer music on its own terms. You'll pick up influences frequently from all the more traditional genres, even in rap, hip/hop, and a lot of more modern R&B music. Not consistently, always, but there is plenty there.
GOtta break some old molds in order to be able to get true enjoyment out of a lot of more modern music. Things change and progress, not remain stagnant within vague parameters per genre defined years ago. Keep an open mind always...
Here's an example of an older clasesic rock tune with some classical elements given a fresh spin with a lot to like:
