I ask that as you said you find it upsetting that younger people aren't aware of many classic rock artists.I routinely look at my daughter's and son's friends' music "Likes" on Facebook and, for the most part, don't recognize a soul. I'm not talking about "likes" of common groups/artists like Gaga, Adele, Kei$ha, TI, Snoop, sure, I recognize them, but there are literally hundreds of artists that I don't recognize. That's the music soundtrack of their lives and for the most part, we older geezers are as oblivious of their music as they are of ours.
I knew 3 of these (one of my daughter's "friends" music "likes")
Red Leather
Grand Boulevards
The Beat Down
Dezi 5
The Room Sounds
Signal Hill
Kings of Leon
Zac Brown
Neon Trees
Gen Rummy
Brandy Carlile
5 Finger Discount
3 Days Grace
Adele
David St. Romain

But then again, most music I listen to (even recently released stuff) isn't popular or even mainstream...

I'm sure they are good. The bigger thing is regardless of the original poster's question, how many people actually LIKE the popular stuff?
Personally, there is a lot out there that I can't be bothered with. I think most mainstream stuff for me ended around Maroon 5's Songs About Jane. I've heard of Adele (there's the ONE I mentioned), and she can sing and has talent! Just not my taste...
Now if you want to talk to me about bands like TU, Bass Communion, Steve Wilson, and relative unknowns like Silmica (shameless self promotion plug!) and Gardens and Villa, then I'm at least in the 21st century with regards to music. Just that nobody has heard of most of it! LOL

et al..
I wouldn't say I'm a big Porcupine Tree fan but Stupid Dreams (DVD-A) gets as much playing time as any other CD I own.

That one is a masterpiece of songwriting, production and engineering (Alan Parsons recorded the tracks, Wilson did final mixes!). Sounds great in all formats (surround DVD-A/Blu-ray, stereo CD and Vinyl), IMHO!
