I noticed that too, the radio seems to be playing the same stuff they were playing when I was in high school.
And I think it's a consequence of the fact that the only people listening to the radio are the same people who were listening to the radio when I was in high school, everyone younger is on Spotify.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoI agree. Anything new tends to be pop, though there is a station just out of reach of my location that plays some modern alternative rock. > the only people listening to the radio are the same people who were listening to the radio when I was in high school I thought that too, but it appears to only slightly be the case: https://www.statista.com/statistics/252185/radios-weekly-reach-in-the-us-by-age-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/252185/radios-weekly-rea... About 4 or 5 years ago I was walking on the street and a person who had to have been in his 20s was listening to a song from Meteora. It's a great album, and I certainly listen to stuff from when I was young, or even before I was born. It just struck me. Edit to add: In case statista paywalls you. > Weekly radio reach in the United States as of June 2021, by age and gender A low of 71.1% for those aged 12-17 to a high of 87.5% for those aged 35-64.
