    I definitely read this as “Fallout-Boy fans” at first and was not prepared to deal with my own age

    My small rural town still has it’s own AM/FM radio station that covers the whole county that i absolutely love. It’s a golden oldies station that mostly plays music from the 50’s -70’s. My car is too old to have Bluetooth, and the CD player doesn’t work, so i usually listen to that when i am driving. Beach Boys, Grand Funk Railroad, Gordon Lightfoot, Jackson 5, Cher, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and other artists that topped the Billboard chart 70 years ago that have aince mostly been forgotten.

        I didn’t intend it that way. But we are hittinng a precipe as boomers start dying off and a lot of great, but lesser known music will be forgotten about, e en if it canstill bee streamed. Artists like Tony Orlando, Mungo Jerry, Paul Revere and the Raiders, or Johhny Rovers will end up only being known by a niche group of music nerds much like big band and swing artists.
