Just a thought. The concert goers might be more of an audience age bias than a whole cocnert trend. I'm guessing you're seeing older bands from your younger days. Their audience is aging the same as you. Might be a venue thing as well, with currently-touring older bands drawing larger crowds, necessitating larger venues that come with more seats and less pit. I saw Rob Zombie at a mid-size venue and the crowd was pretty tame. Same for Disturbed. Meanwhile, I saw Jinjer at a small venue with no seats and the crowd was rocking. Not much of a pit, but far from dead. Same for Highly Suspect, though no pit at all as everyone crowded to the stage.

Hahahaha.... Oh no... Oh. No. From my younger days? I go back a decade and I'm in high school, and the bands I listened to then were all dead already (Journey, Eagles, Jim Croce)

No I saw Mammoth recently and 3 people were bobbing their head in the front and there were people sitting on the floor in the back.
Basically true for AJR, and others. Only true pit experience I got was The Wrecks who split the audience in 3 groups to make us compete against each other and then ran around trying to find people in the audience to dance with, but even then it was the minority position to dance.
