It's not like I'm expecting today's yoots to ignore new music, per se, and only listen to the oldies, but I do think something is up and boomer music is dying out.
When I was in college in the mid 90's, we listened to grunge on no more than a 1 to 1 ratio with @RaceBannon Boomer music. In fact, we probably listened to Led Zeppelin, The Stones, and the Dead a bit more than 90's music.
But I don't think Gen Z is listening to Gen X or Boomer music at nearly the same clip.
 
I started playing around with a few AI programs to "create" music as a goof for an upcoming bbq we're hosting. I could see that cutting in to demand for the classics as younger generations build stuff that they want to hear. Not a total replacement, but just another thing that chips away at history.

The Coldplay to VH listener ratio could probably be used as an index for measuring the collective retardation of America.

My doomed comment was very tongue in cheek.

I’ll say this about the yoots and this is based on hosting trivia shows and playing music at various bars & restaurants here in Lexington, the yoots still like the boomer music.

One of my first shows at a near campus bar had me worried that I didn’t have enough “new” music in my playlist but after the show, a 20something server told me “the music was on point” and it’s my understanding that being on point is a good thing according to the yoots.
