@VW_Guy @blogdiva If older acts still perform, to the delight of older fans, then ... so what? That's been a thing for as long as I remember.
In the meantime, younger folks will find what they like, and it won't just be older established performers.
There's a legitimate argument to be made that mainstream music composition has been stagnating, though. I don't know how valid that is, or how much of a "problem" it is.
I mean, look at artists like Kaytranada and AG Cook and Doechii and Kendrick Lamar and Doja Cat, among dozens of incredible musicians producing and performing original music in the electronic, hip hop and house music categories, and it's hard to conclude that "mainstream music composition" is "stagnating".
There's hyperpop, afrobeat/amapiano, reggaeton, k-pop (and t-pop/v-pop), the return of 2-step/jungle, and the growing number of artists blending all of them.

@blogdiva is anyone under the age of 50 going to even look at this album even once because i doubt it

look: am 60 years old yet this composite photograph of McCartney, Jagger, Richards and Smith is still fucking weird.
Robert Smith, a baby baby boomer, is the baby in this picture.
the chokehold the WHITE silent generation and baby boomers have on YOUTH culture is absolutely surreal.
The Rolling Stones & Beatles were hip in an era that is long gone. they are now part of the #EpsteinClass #gerontocracy and we should stop pretending they aren’t social and cultural anachronisms.
@blogdiva What a drag it is getting old...

@blogdiva Unbelievable. Who are senior citizen rockers even going to misappropriate their music from in this day and age...?

This is a thing I have decidedly complained about. Every city event here is a Beatles cover band. I feel like my generation never even got a moment in the sun. Could they imagine being forced to listen to In the Mood for 50 years at every public event they ever attended until every last member of that generation died?

Was it Eric Clapton?@blogdiva@mastodon.social @eyesquash@mastodon.world @jcolag@mastodon.social @mxchara@seattle.pink hmmmm... he does suck, but the last thing on his wiki page is being an anti-vaxxer bitching about masking for COVID... then he had to cancel his tour because he got COVID. what a dipshit. Nothing about Brexit though.
We all know Morrissey sucks, but now that I think about it, I have no idea what his actual age is... he's really more Robert Smith's age, right?... -
@mxchara @eyesquash @jcolag (pssst… isn't he a Brexit MAGA asshole?)
@blogdiva @eyesquash @jcolag oh no, Roy Orbison has been gone for a while. I don't know anything about political scandals attached to him. but he was gone long before Brexit, that's for sure.

@RobotDiver @blogdiva One of the best arguments against extending human life to, say, 200 years or more,
