That's not true. . . . .
If you were tapping your toe to something in 2005, there's a good chance you'll tap your toe to the same thing in 2025.
Hence the proliferation of golden oldies stations, golden country stations, all those infomercials selling golden collections, etc, etc. There's a buck to be made there because there's a strong demand from the consumer.
Simply put, what you consider to be "good" music might better be described as "eclectic," has limited appeal and likely won't survive an inter-generational transfer. There's no demand now and there probably won't be a demand in the future.
I think I've heard one (1) Nickleback song in my life so I really don't care but its a pretty easy bet figuring out which songs are going to stand the test of time over a 20 or 30 year period . . . . . and those would be the one's that are commercially successful, not the one's being played in obscure bohemian cafes where the artists are handing out their CD's for a few bucks.
