Everything now is derivative.
It’s like classical music, there’s really nothing new you can do with the genre, and people just stick to listening to the classical composers, like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc.
My children are definitely turning to “the classics” as they age.
A couple months ago, my daughter asked me to fill in the blanks in her list of music that I introduced them to on my car CD player when she and her brother were small.
The Carpenters, the Doobie Brothers, Henry Mancini, The Bee-Gees, Simon and Garfunkel, Carly Simon, and others. She’s trying to explore the music I grew up with using Spotify.
