Nirvana, honestly.
I enjoy their music, but they influenced so much boring buttrock and edgy tryhardcore that the market got oversaturated. It was only natural that the mainstream opinion would shift to other genres.

A big reason why rock was so popular was because it was cheaper to have a handful of guys with a guitar/drum/bass/vocals than like an army of musicians. Add amplification and such a small set of instrumentation can match the largest orchestras.
A DAW is cheaper than any individual instrument a rock musician has while giving access to A LOT more sounds at the same time. It economically and artistically makes the rock band setup feel obsolete in comparison.

Jack White was seen as the saviour of rock but he did absolutely nothing original or innovative. He just rehashed the same blues rock style album after album. He was in the right place at the right time, starting his career around the time of the last big rock music boom in New York in the early 2000s, and while most of those were bands and worked collectively, he was one of the few solo artists (don't pretend Meg did anything) and so he took up the reign of the "rockstar" of the era. The rock music world was glorifying a dude who had made absolutely nothing worth listening to because he was telling everyone that he was the face of rock music, and that sentiment of has remained in the rock scene ever since. Just look at Greta Van Fleet, it's the same shit.
