You evidently missed the conclusion of my post where I said:

Not imitations or covers, but what that music would be if it had been allowed to develop and flourish? That's what I would call good music.

The music we hear today is not a creative progression from the best of what went before, but rather formulaic autotune angst pop which seems to have its origins in the early 2000’s and seems stuck there.

Depends on what you’re listening to. Big label is a prisoner of the formula. Get away from the big labels and lots of stuff is progressed from what came before. Rival Sons, Lucifer, Pretty Reckless, Porcupine Tree. Plenty of acts acknowledge the past and have built something new with it, though none I know really trace from your list but that’s not my wheelhouse. But none of them are on major labels, none are getting radio play.
