Why isn't rock music as popular as it was before? even in the 90's rock music was still very popular but now it's more of an underground thing.

Lack of white hegemony in the media. It's a good thing.

Rap

Rock stopped being rebellious since the kids of the 90s had parents who already loved rock. That's why people listen to rap now.

Why isn't jazz still popular?

kids of the 70s listened to metal like black sabbath, too dark and edgy for their elvis parents

Same reason Jazz died. It stopped being fun. Everything had to be dark and brooding and serious or experimentally weird; otherwise, it got panned by critics.

Meanwhile, hip-hop is inherently simple and fun to listen to. People don't want to be sad or angry when they grind on each other and get shitfaced.
