what passes for Rock today is seriously degenerated from what it was in the 70-90’s...Who needs harmony, counter-melody and non-sexual lyrics?

There is very good rock music out today. And if you think sexual lyrics weren't prevalent in the 70's you may want to listen more closely. Maybe it is more apparent today, but it was certainly there in the past.

There's good jazz too but
everything is Balkanized.
There isn't "culture"

we all belong to,
things we all share. There's only
this group of friends or

that group of friends and
everyone exists within
their group, not culture.

Sure there's good stuff but
it doesn't shape or create
a better culture

it just satisfies
this or that group. I'm afraid
this is the future.

No culture at all,
commercial demographics
will shape everything.

Beg to disagree with you; I'll let 'time' be the judge. Name your favorite group, buy a couple albums - then in 5 years see if anyone has heard of them; or if the group has a hit on the radio. Hootie and the who? Pearl Jam - what's that? Blink 1-something 2? I could go on; but you get the idea.
