I spoke to some college kids of my friends, and all of them said that all of their friends at college mostly listen to 80s Alternative.
I was riding along with them and they put on The Violent Femmes first album, we were all singing along, it was a great time.
Kiss Off!
Loved the Femmes. Had all their stuff on vinyl back in the day. Gave the collection away.
It’s been true for the past 10-15 years, including my kids and their friends.
They like some new music, but they seem to love music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
When I was young, we didn’t listen to our parents’ and grandparents’ music.
But, young people today enjoy music that is 30-50 years old.
