There are some bands that survive when the momentum of the movement that spawned them dies out, In our life times we've seen the chilli peppers, pearl jam, tool and green day survived a fad that killed hundreds of lesser bands. Even the great old acts never die as you can still see Skynard, Sabbath, The Doors, Queen and the Eagles if you have large enough pockets (not so much in Skynards case, you just need a ticket to the county fair) but the post grunge era has already seen most of its base disipate. Maybe tomorrow emo and neo-wave will watch theirs fall as well.

What bands recording today will survive their own sub-cultres death?

I would say one band we don't talk about much on here that will is Incubus. I don't want to list all the bands i think, i just wanted to pose the question, and then threw out incubus because 1.) I wanted their influence to be discussed and 2.) didn't want to piss of Hatemonger by not answering my own post.
