The guitar is corny according to who, you? Because I'm not seeing any evidence that young people think that.

There are three music stores in the city close to where I live, one just sells guitars, the other two sell a variety of instruments, but their guitar sections are the largest.

When I go to those stores, especially the guitar store, I am typically the oldest guy in the store, mostly it is young people checking them out.

"So the child doesn't want to like his/her parent's music"

Not wanting to like their parents music has nothing to do with not liking or wanting to play guitar.
Nice thing about guitar is it is not limited to one genre, you can play classical, country, rock, jazz, ... anything! .... so maybe a young person might not like his parents music, but he can invent his own guitar based music, something that has happened many times over the 80 years or so that the electric guitar has been around, that is a few generations of guitarists playing music different from what their parents played.
