I do think that has a lot to do with it but there are some of us (I'm 25 this year) who prefer the pop of the 1960s and 70s even if we weren't alive at the time (but grew up on groovy radio tunes, ultimately expanding our knowledge based on this) ... well, in this lifetime anyway, but that's another thread entirely...

there's something so special about the past that is missing from the present.
