I kind of agree with rainard - seems that rock music has pulled away from numerous sub-genres that were more common in the 80's.

But on the other hand, I think so many bands cross all genres that it is hard to classify as any single style. What is At the Drive In? Prog, emo, post-core, noise, or what? Sure there were bands that crossed genres - Alan Parsons Project & Genesis both entertained pop success, but because they at least started off as prog, they could still be easily called prog. Then it was either pop or all else. Now it is all else, very little division between genres.
