I'm Gen-X - What are some recomendations?
I grew up listening to 90's alt rock like Nirvana, REM, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. - what more recent bands embody that vibe and feel?

One of my favorite contemporary bands, Finom(formerly Ohmme), might give you the vibe you're looking for. Top notch songwriting! Laden with influences ranging from Arto Lindsay to The White Stripes throughout.
Fever333 has a RATM thing going on that you might like. I got into some of the stoner/doom stuff out of my love for Soundgarden, there's plenty to find if you like that Sabbath-y heavy riff sound. Some of the old alt bands are still kicking: Obv Pearl Jam is still doing it, and they still cut a great album, The Pixies, QOTSA, Afghan Whigs, Built to Spill, Weezer, all released good albums in the last few years. You might also like some stuff that hits some alt rock feelings like Blancmange, The Rentals, Wunderhorse, Paolo Nutini, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Wet Leg, Ty Segall.
Some of the bands and solo artist spin offs of the big rock acts in the early 2000s have continued to write killer tunes - Tom Morello, Jack White, Black Keys, Son Volt, Night Beats.
Maybe that's enough of a start?
Not much to do with the bands you've mentioned, but I am quite fond of "Dance with the Dead" lately.
Built to spill Modest mouse
I wouldn't say these are any newer than the 90s bands in the OP but they are definitely less well known and awesome.
They both had new album releases the the last year or so Otherwise, I've heard king gizzard is good
Oh wow I knew modest mouse was still active, didn't know built to spill was still around! I was actually just listening to the plan last night, I'm gonna need to check out their new album.
