That depends on your definition of the term "rock n roll."
Some believe it died out when punk came along.
Some believe it died when metal got so big.
A lot of what we called rock n roll way back when is now only played on the country music stations.
We still have our old albums, there are oldies radio stations, and some bands like the Stones are still out there making music for us. But is it new music or just rehashing the old songs for our nostalgia hunger?
I don't believe that rock n roll is dead, but its not generating new life, either. So you may be right, the term "slow death" may be just the right phrase here.
Rock n roll wasn't angry music. It could be sad, it could be joyful, it could be questioning, it could tell stories that people could relate to. You don't see that much anymore. Or maybe people are only relating now to the anger.
Yep, slow death might just be it, and it says a lot for the way society looks at things now. Sigh.

Rock and Roll, Blues, Jazz,classical, wont die just the crappy mixes of stuff.......The new come and go..........But some styles I think will be a mainstay....Fresh music is good to hear, but even 'fresh' can be pretty sour.....just an opinion....
