Well that's always going to be more prevalent among artists that have big singles and it's going to bias towards simpler music. People can know the words to a song like Safety Dance 30 years later, but they're not going to dig into Men Without Hats' back catalog for interesting music. Stuff like that is really more a cultural artifact rather than something that people are going to continually discover and find meaning in.
