Gotta disagree with the author here. Jack White isn't a favorite of mine, though I do admit to liking the early White Stripes albums. But if the complaint is that guys like White (I'm thinking Dave Grohl, the Black Keys, etc) are the "standard bearers" for rock music, my response is hey- it could be a hell of a lot worse. Compared to the days when fucking Axl Roses were the standard bearers? Or Steven Tyler? Or Dave fucking Matthews? I think we're better off. Your Whites and Grohls may have matured into navel-gazing or blandness (respectively), but they aren't ruining the genre.
