And yet, generally speaking, at least in my country, young people know very little or directly NOTHING about the past of rock music. They just like terrible clone sexist reggaeton autotune songs. Teens with musical knowledge and interest are a minority.
I think I've already mentioned this, but 6Music have a daily dedicated new music show now that isn't on at stupid o'clock in the night. & let's have a little look at what they were playing just a day ago...
Which beggars the question, where does one draw the line between old & new music? Is 34 years a reasonable point?
