I think that every 50 yo in at least the last 100 years thought that the music liked by the 20 yo is s..t and so will be for the now 20 yo 30 years from now.
There is no particular reason for that except that the 20 yo artists have to try something new and they are the models of the 10 / 15 yo.
What's interesting is that the new models don't seem so hugely more interesting than the best of the old ones. Maybe young people got wiser, maybe the music industry got enough material to play safe, minimize costs and keep advertising and selling the old tunes.
