Please, only answer if you're under 22 or around that age, or happen to have a really good answer.
I don't care if a couple of your 30-something friends and you still say it - that information is not relevant.
I just want to know if this term is in current usage among American young people.
I heard someone say it the other day, and it just stuck out like a sore thumb - just as if someone had walked up to you this afternoon and had used 'Psych!" or "Fer Sure!" in normal conversation.
Not that NOBODY says those two any longer, they're just a tad out of date and not heard as much (if at all).
So, is "Rock On!" still in common usage?
(And if you want, give your age in your answer. It will help.)

I'm older, but wanted to answer anyway because I have a family/house full of 22 and unders all the time (from 13yo - 22yo). We also have a 24 and 25 yo in the family. YES! It does stick out like a sore thumb, and NO no one in our region (Midwest/South) ever says it who is under 25. The 25 yo says it and we ALL look at him funny, young and old alike. ;-)

I heard it all the time down at Jack Maxie's bar in IN, but I haven't heard it around here, so I think maybe it depends where you are located as well. I'm 25 so a little older, but the ones who always said it were in the 21-23 age group mostly.

It is still in common usage, but used most often in a sardonic, mocking tone.
I am nineteen, and hear it used often, but it tends to be in mockery of frat-boy types, etcetera, if you understand what I mean.
And it is often also used like this:
"My day was awful."
"Rock on!"
