I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.

I am GenX. My work collogue and good friend is 22-ish. He knows more about RECORDED music than I ever did when I was his age. I listened to a ton of music when I was his age and younger. Way more than my friend listens to now. However, my knowledge of music was limited by idiot radio DJ's, my friends, and the media of the day. Today's young have the internet and streaming music to have exposure to almost all recorded music. That does not include recommendations and curated playlists that are auto generated. An incredible time to love music.

Cost of music was also a limiting factor for me. The post above about waiting for the 3rd song on an album to be played on the radio also applied to me.

I am lucky that I have KCRW on air from Santa Monica to hear some of the best new music. This station is also available on KCRW.com. The DJ's on this station are incredible. I am not so much a fan of their 24 hour HD stream.

Keep music alive by supporting new artists.

OK boomer

"The problem now is not that there isn’t enough "good music" (define as you wish) being made, but rather that there is so much of it! It’s not on radio or TV, but so what?"

Yes-- there seem to be a lot of Boomers these days who complain about the supposed "lack of good music" who are simply too lazy to do anything beyond turning on a radio!  (Not that logging onto Spotify requires much effort!) 

@discopants:

"OK Boomer"

As a Boomer, myself, I don't tend to welcome this expression but in this case I have to say the OP fully deserves it!

They can hear 60s and 70s music (well early 70s anyway) for another 50 or 60 years if they want to.  We've only got a couple of decades left.
At best.

I have three sons in their mid-thirties and they listen to the same music to which I listen, particularly Beatles, Beach Boys, Steely Dan and ELO.
