[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take up shuffleboard, OP.  Oh and constantly talk about how music was sooooo much better when you were younger.[/quote]

Older music acts are discriminated against in the USA. In other countries older music artists are recognized but in the USA they are largely forgotten.[/quote]

What an utterly stupid generalization.

Bruce Springsteen would be surprised to hear you say that.  As would the many, many bands from the 1980s that are still touring, and even recording.  Jon Bon Jovi sang for the inauguration celebration.  Heck, I think the Beach Boys are still touring.  My elementary aged kid loves the Beatles.  [/quote]

1980 was not that long ago. But you would be hard pressed to hear any new music released from artists from the 1980s [b]on top 40 radio stations[/b].[/quote]

New poster. The youth these days do not listen to "top 40 radio stations." They stream whatever they want, whenever they want it. And so do these folks in their 40s and 50s who want to hear music. They can get all the older artists they want to hear by streaming their new stuff. [b]My favorite 1980s band just released a new album and they'd never even consider top 40 radio airplay to be important any more.[/b]

Top 40 radio is pretty much all about the DJs chattering and/or playing songs for dentist offices and stores to put on the speakers because it's cheaper than a music streaming subscription.[/quote]

They'd never even consider top 40 radio airplay because they already know they would never be able to get it. 
If they could, both you and I know they would very much go for it.[/quote]
