I've met young people who enjoy listening to old acts but, if a modern act releases a new song in the same genre/style, they won't enjoy it. They'll say "I prefer [whatever genre/style is currently popular]."

I think that many people have an instinct for time and place with music. I seem to have a bit of that trait myself but if somebody came up with a good enough classic sounding synthpop I could enjoy it. There are some bands which manage to be old school but still are different from the old music like Messer Chups and that's probably the closest you'll find, at least until somebody comes along and does a more modern take on them that the people of that point in the future like better.

I definitely see that with Greta Van Fleet and Wolfmother.

The new Dude York album may as well have been recorded in 1996:

If you’re talking about new music I don’t know. But I think Led Zeppelin is an incredible example because it has fans from 6 different decades and still holds up today. The Rolling Stones to an extent but I think there is less younger people becoming fans

I've met young people who enjoy listening to old acts but, if a modern act releases a new song in the same genre/style, they won't enjoy it. They'll say "I prefer [whatever genre/style is currently popular]." Interesting that the inverse of that may be true as well. Bands like Greta Van Fleet and Airbourne are pretty popular, but I wonder how many of their fans like Led Zeppelin or AC/DC, or at least liked them before hearing the modern sound-a-likes. And then there are projects like Postmodern Jukebox and Scary Pockets who perform modern songs in jazz and funk styles, respectively. No shortage of hits on those channels, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Crossovers like them might just broaden some musical horizons which could benefit everyone in the long run. Not so incidentally, where does this guy fit in here?
