I don't have kids, and my nieces are young children, so I have no idea... At concerts, as I got older, the audiences remained younger, even at a concert like the Eagles. No one ever called Don Henley cool, especially not the internet community!
I see people posting stats and such all over the internet, but I don’t think I ever put them altogether, beyond reading it then and there but remembering reading that 70% of the commerce is from bands/artists from the 60/70s, and I’m curious which ones are popular with the young people. The Beatles are probably a given, but I wonder who else. Probably a “colorful” band with someone they’ve seen on YouTube, maybe not even in a music setting. Maybe interviews? Sometimes a younger celebrity pushes older artists, and if you have 10 million “followers” it can definitely influence. If I had that many, I’d definitely push my favorite stuff, especially the lesser known stuff, but I digress.

In the Iron Maiden: Flight 666 documentary, the band notes that their audience is getting progressively younger.
In this clip, drummer Nicko McBrain says it's as if the same kids are still coming to their shows 25 years later.
Furthermore, when I saw Maiden on this tour they introduced "Revelations" by saying, "There are people here tonight who probably weren't even conceived when this song was written - let that be a revelation." And in this performance from their Australian show, you can see many young people in the audience.
