Do Rock Gods exist in today’s music?

[SunsetBengal]

Wow, that is a really tough question to come up with a good answer to. Most artists from the 90's forward have either been appeals to niche audiences, or genres of rock that were temporary fads. Take the Grunge era, that was all of like what, 5-6 years? I can't find any transcendent artists from there. Hard rock made a comeback in the late 90's and into the 2000's with acts like Disturbed, Korn, Alice in Chains, etc. but their base of appeal was so small that they can hardly be considered as transcendent either.

The only modern era artist that I can award "Rock god" status to, is Kid Rock. He's been popular for over 20 years, his resume is so diverse that he's appealed to listeners who favor genre's across the musical spectrum.

So, there you have it. Kid Rock is the only modern Rock god.
