This is a late night rambler of a thread so forgive me but I worked in radio from 2017-2024, as a producer for an oldies/classic rock station.
We've been told to basically phase out the '60s. Names that 15 years ago would play 3 times in an hour. Hendrix, Cream, and Janis Joplin have been the 3 biggest losers.
We got directives according to listeners demos that Xers and older millenials tune into classic rock stations. So towards the end of my run we're playing Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Green Day.
Would you call this an early indicator of the mass boomer die off? Will we see a complete outright rejection of their cultural legacy once it starts?
