Is Old Music Killing New Music?

I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.

I’m a boomer that grew up in New York and was a fan of WNEW FM and got to see all the great concerts.   I got interested in Jazz while still in High School. 
Fast forward to 2002, I started taking my daughters to the Baker Street concerts every Friday night in Atlanta. 
it gave me a whole new appreciation for Alternative Rock so I’ve managed to maintain an appreciation for many eras. 

Bottom line for me is that I enjoy several genres of music and try to keep current using Sirrus XM.
