not even remotely close.
i’m a child of the 60’s, graduated High School in 1969. so yes; my rock sweet spot is definitely 60’s and 70’s rock. but my tastes and main listening now is classical 60% and jazz 30% both of which i did not know about or was a fan of in my teens. it was not until my kids left home and i got serious about music and hifi in the mid 90’s that i started learning about classical and jazz.
many great classical and jazz recordings are from the 50’s and 60’s for sure, but none i had any idea about back then.
if we get back to pop and rock, which only occupies about 10% of my listening, then i would mostly agree with your premise, but not entirely. there is music worthy of my interest from all eras. but i would say that pop/rock has never reached the creative peak or cultural impact it had in the 60’s and 70’s.
100 years from now people will still listen to 60’s and 70’s pop/rock. much of the drivel since then will be on the dust heap of time...long forgotten and little missed. we have no proof of that, it’s just my opinion.
