Is the Guitar Dead/Dying?

I feel like today's top musician's (or more like most well known) don't give the guitar the respect it deserves. I mean most people these days try sooo hard to emulate already present well known guitar tones and playing styles instead of trying to find their own way of playing.

I love the guitar, I truly do, whenever I get a significant amount of money I usually spend it on stuff for my setup and any other instruments I might currently be obsessed with. I don't even have a learner's permit (driving) so when I want to play with other people I pack up my gear, walk five miles down the road and boy, do I get **** tons of things yelled at me by passers by. I love playing so much I'm willing to give up driving to pay for my equipment and be rediculed by idiots. All these hardships I encounter are because the guitar has been turned into a douchebag instrument, it's truly, truly a sad thing.
