If you go back 30 years and looked at the music charts, you noticed one thing compared to today, you saw more older musicians or at least more musicians who projected an older image.
Starting in the 90s, the only people topping the charts were people in the late teens or early 20s, or people who dressed and acted like they were in their late teens and early 20s.
I'm honestly asking, can anyone name a mature musician who is still in their "prime," putting out new material, and is hitting the top of the charts consistently?'
I look back 30 years ago and you saw those like Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, and even many younger people in music who didn't look or sing like a teenager. Sure there were exceptions, but I'm just saying there was no shortage of maturity in music 30 years ago.
Is behaving like an adult no longer cool? Does bubblegum pop rule music?
