Yes, Elvis is more famous than Chuck Berry. This has no bearing on the point I was making.

Think they'd at least recognize Johnny B Goode, wrong person?

maybe, doubt they would be able to name the artist though. not that Chuck Berry isn't well know, but he definitely is very very very far from being a popular artist amongst teenagers, or even a household name for them. my anecdotal is irrelevant here anyway though because i think Jansz was trying making a broader point than that.

Not popular among that age group, most certainly. Not a household name? Little more uncertain on that.

you think most 16 year olds could tell you who Chuck Berry is? negative.

Let me go find a 16 year old hang on.

Could a 16 year old name a Linkin Park song I wonder?

i could be wrong here (im not) but i think linkin park were still pretty happening. maybe not at the same level they were during the nu metal rise but definitely still headlining festivals for teenage scene kids.
