We ought to be choosing our music solely on recent popularity or social relevance, and have total disregard for what we think is good or bad from a qualitative standpoint.
I gravitate more to the artists of the 60's through 80's. I just don't find much pleasure in music today. Of course, there are exceptions. The problem is that most genres or sub-genres of rock have already been explored (blues, hard rock, metal, punk, alternative, techno, etc.), and it is getting increasingly challenging to be 'original' these days. That must have something to do with it.
I'm not concerned over whether music artists are "dinosaurs" or whatever social label is placed upon them. I'm only concerned over whether the artist can produce music to a satisfying degree.I've never had regard for "social acceptance" as a yardstick to choose music, and have disdain for anyone who puts forth such litmus test. It's at the very core of why I think music has been on the decline in recent time.
