Red Octane, makers of my favorite video game, have declared air guitar dead——replaced, presumably by their air guitar simulation computer game, Guitar Hero.
They even held a mock funeral as a PR stunt:
Need I point out that air guitar will never die? Need I point out that while Guitar Hero does completely rock and is an excellent air guitar skill builder, it's no surrogate. It will never replace air guitar. How can you kill/replace something that does not exist?
Ask Nietzsche, I guess..

A friend keeps inviting me over to play Guitar Hero, and I keep telling her that I can't because of my strongly held ideological differences. But then someone overheard us arguing about Guitar Hero vs. air guitar in the kitchen at work, and she had a King Solomon-esque brilliant solution:
My friend can play the Guitar Hero controller with all the GH stuff on the TV screen, and I can play air guitar.
