History? Feel like the only people listening to the songs of the 50s exclusively are almost dead and gone. You tend to spend your years listening to the songs of your youth (teens-20s) so people who were coming of age in the 50s would be in their 90s now since 1950 was 74 years ago.

I’m counting ‘23 as done, idc about 20ish measly days

I tried listening to the 50s and 60s stations on SiriusXM in the car when driving with the kids, because those songs should have safe language, but foul language is a lot better than what I was hearing in those songs (blatant sexism, borderline racism, love songs for underage girls, and so on). I decided Liquid Metal is just fine.

My folks are in their 70s and still listen to stuff from Elvis, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, etc. I think you're off by at least 15 years as to who's listening to what.
