It's not real clear what you mean by the above sentence. But it should be pointed out that if we're talking about mainstream top 40 shit, EVERYTHING is a huge media hose - that's a given.
Hell, "Nevermind" has solos as well.
You're definitely stretching there. Sure, there are still instrumental breaks in pop music. Always will be. But saying Nirvana was a band with guitar solos is kinda like saying Bon Jovi was metal. There's a superficial resemblance, but you'd have to kinda twist yourself in a pretzel to make it stick.

Cheers,
