All these "old school" solo artists no longer exist you say? Well, it's not completely true. It's just that New styles are born in the meantime and even if you call it a "simpler" style, they at least gave us the possibility to listen to something new and "fresh".
I'll take Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth as an example: his way of playing the guitar is really different from the artists you mentioned, his style is surely newer and nearly impossible to be copied even for the talented solo artists you love so much, and yeah, it's really original and somewhat "experimental" too. Someone said he's the one who invented "Noise Rock", and critics attached this label to this way of playing the guitar. You may not like this style, but you can't say he's unable to play a guitar.
There are many clones of the metal hard rock sound and such things, and they're simply boring mostly because they add nothing to what we've already heard. They lack of any kind of originality. Why? Because their main interest is simply to show off their talent and nothing more. They can play, of course, but they don't create anything valuable. Is it so good for you?
Don't blame Cobain, please, this is another old cliché: he created his style, while the others copied it without knowing what the style was about.
