The Stones were giants to the Boomers, sure, but I'm pretty old Gen-Xer myself at 54 and I hardly know them -- I mostly know them because of stories of Mick Jagger being a jerk. And I suspect younger people like Millennials and Zoomers care even less about them. To my generation REM and U2 were the big bands (and I'm sure younger people probably care as little about those bands as I do the Stones).
If REM and U2 are your big bands, we're in the same generation, and my high school classmates today are sending pictures from Rolling Stones concerts they're going to on Insta. I'm not saying I like the Rolling Stones more (though: I probably like them more than U2).
I listen to Murmur like every other week. I listen to a Rolling Stones album every other decade. I listen to The Stone Roses more than the Stones. I'm not advocating for Mick Jagger, I'm just saying, he's more relevant to the culture than Michael Stipe.
