That's how it works: Music made when the target demographic was in its teens and young adulthood is classic, and the music from the era when the currently dying generation was young gets aged out.

Soon enough, Jay-Z will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I mean, if Jelly Roll Morton (look him up, kiddo) can make it, they obviously abandoned the "Rock and Roll" part of their name long ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame_inductees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_...
