It just keeps going because a generation identifies most with the music they listened to.

That's true to some extent, but that argument only goes so far. I grew up in the 1980s, but I can relate to a lot of music from the 1920s all the way up till about 2001 or so. It's not reasonable to assume I suddenly stopped liking new music for any other reason than the stuff I've heard on the radio in the last couple of years genuinely sucks.

Also the blame that now the record companies don't take chances like they used to. They manufacture bands.

They're too busy suing people for downloading music that should have passed into the public domain ages ago. The record companies subverted the copyright laws so that they can reap a perpetual windfall from old music instead of turning out new product. No other industry on earth gets away with sitting on their fat asses and raking in massive profits on stuff that was created decades ago. Consumers aren't playing along with having their cultural heritage held hostage anymore, and that pisses the record companies off. They have their own greed to blame for that though.
