I just can't go along with that.See when people say the music was so much better when I was growing up. Disagree with that.The music today is no better nor worse it's just different.
Whether the older music is "better" depends on the individual.
For me, almost anything since about 1980 other than country and new recordings of old songs seems like garbage. And country (for me) has mostly gone way downhill in recent years. I thought it was bad before, but wow.
"Classic hits" stations playing "older" songs doesn't mean a thing to me. It all sounds bad to me. If "classic hits" stations want to play only newer songs, then it's just another style of garbage.
