That's because society doesn't NEED rockstars. We have the option to listen to so many artists at any given time. The digital age has made it easy for thousands of bands to get marginal success, and without major label funding, there most likely won't be too many promotional pushes to make the next ROCK STAR anytime soon.
It's a different time period...The day of the stadium band is over. People have smartened up and realized that a much better experience can be had in an intimate venue spread out across multiple nights.
The big festivals bring that stadium sense back a couple times a year, but it's just not needed or wanted anymore on a regular basis. Kids, college students and 30 somethings have shorter attention spans now.
