I listened to rock in my teens and 20’s and ignored pop music. Now I have to hear it in the workplace along with current stuff so there is no nostalgia or time bias and the current stuff stinks. It is designed like advertising jingles just ear worms.
Of course everyone has the right to their tastes but I don’t think orchestras will be doing today’s stuff like they would with Pink Floyd for example.
