That's like saying why is Tupac Shakur still famous? Because he was brilliant musician.

the main reason is because he was a revolution in music of the time. He was one of the first musicians to make music that made teeagers shake their hips; music with some hit and some beat. i mean, it may not seem like it to us but thats definatley what it was to them.
The older generations during that time were calling 'devil music' and it was the spark of the whole teenage rebellion.
But it wasnt just Elvis it was other musicians as well during this time that had such a large impact on the music world, so many followed suit. Also, elvis is definatley appreciated among generation Y, only more so to fellow musicians who are influenced and inspired by the impact that one man had on the face of music.
