George Harrison, the most famous bass player of all time

George Harrison had the "bass player energy" of the Beatles, despite being, technically, the lead guitar player.

To answer the 'what genre is that electronic music,' I always turn to Ishkur's Guide which had a recent redesign. http://music.ishkur.com/ This doesn't help at all with current rock bands

It's actually kind of funny you describe Phineas as having a pin head. There is one episode where the kids run a TV show parodying an in universe children's show that the father watched as a kid where a man called Pinhead Pierre played cartoons for the kid audience. In the recreation the kids put on Phineas dresses up in a Pinhead Pierre suit which emphasis that point of his head even further.

The Bowling For Soup song Bob was referring to about 1985 is actually a cover of a different band SR-71. As someone who was VERY into BFS and similar silly pop punk bands growing up, I was initially taken aback by Bob calling it the only song people know by them, but when I ask people who didn’t listen to them religiously, it’s one of the only ones they can name. (That or they say “Stacy’s Mom” which is actually by Fountains of Wayne, but sometimes they play live as a joke because people always think they wrote it lmao)

To answer your question if the kids are still into the "rock music", its complicated. On one hand, rock has definitely fallen out of the mainstream as hip-hop became the dominate genre of youth subculture (and even that's beginning to change). On the other, as someone who runs in music nerd circles, rock is still very popular with younger people who have more than a casual interest in music. Popular genres are neo-psychadelic rock bands like Tame Impala and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard as well a post-punk revival groups like Idles, but the most interesting development among zoomer rock fans is the reappraisal of nu metal. Band like Deftones, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park are seen as way more important and influential bands than people like to give them credit for and we're unappreciated in their time. In short, while rock is no longer the cultural juggernaut it once was, there are young people who still care a lot about it and have their own unique ideas about its place in history.
