Every genre or scene or whatever you want to call it once it becomes popular it goes through this period of commercial oversaturation which then causes the whole thing to burn out. It happened to surf rock and psychedelic rock in the 60s, prog rock and disco in the 70s, new wave and glam metal in the 80s, grunge and pop punk in the 90s and emo and indie in the 00s, it's simply the nature of the music industry beast.
Thing is there hasn't really been any completely new genre of rock music in the last 20 or so years, that's not really an indie problem, it's a rock problem, and that's reflected in how much the genre has lost relevancy in recent years, it's just not the primary music young people listen to anymore.
