to generalize what americans listen to based on what a few members of this forum listen to is naive.
there is good music out there, past or present. i say good music is anything that can stand the test of time, as many of the groups you mentioned have. there are also those you have listed that continue to put out great music, i.e. APC, social d, sonic youth (sonic nurse, their new one, is great).
alot of people will disagree with you on this desired "new movement of rock" many people i know (including myself) are pleased to see any rock in the mainstream when compared to the overwhelming surge of hiphop which has crossed all boundaries of gender, age, and ethnicity.
besides, ppl should listen to whatever they want, regardless of popularity.
