The Beatles have sold a lot more records since 1990 than Metallica.
And for the record, I own all of the first 4 Metallica albums on compact disc or vinyl.
All good and well, but I'm talking about musical style. I'm also guessing those Beatles albums aren't selling to many under-50 year olds in 2022. Call me crazy.
I know that at some point we all stop paying attention to the new stuff and are stuck living in the past.

Classic rock has made a resurgence. I don't know who buys music anymore, but I know there are a lot of yutes with increasing interest in the roots of all the subgenres of pop music and rock in particular.

I don't know the specific numbers of how many under 50 are still "listening" as opposed to buy Beatles music. To @chuck 's point, who even "buys" music any more. I don't think hardly any of our member's here do other than me. I'm a vinyl luddite and refuse to go all in on high fi streaming options.
Looking around on YouTube.com, Instagram, etc, I would say there's still enduring interest in classic rock in general, including Metallica which being 40 years old falls into that genre now.
At any rate, @JoeEDangerously knows I have Tourette's when it comes to talking shit about technically proficient shredding, even when I own a bit of it.

Yeah I get there are a handful of real audiophile types buying vinyl and I'm glad for it. I wish I had started that process when I was young rather than pissing thousands of $$ away on CDs, most of which are gone and/or of no use anymore. Of all the things I've pissed money away on that has to rank near the top of the second tier (first tier is Copenhagen and weed).

I bought a handful of (vinyl) records in college for the novelty but never owned a TT. Basically I would play them on my frens DJ (Technics SL-1200) decks for fun. But between 1994 and 2010 I'm guessing dropped about $11K on CDs. If I could have re-directed that towards vinyl play back in the mid 90s I'd be in even more kick ass shape hi-fi wise. There were a lot of high end, all analogue re-issues done in the 90s and early 2000s which are out of print now, and demand huge sums in the internet.
Even in 2005 I got some records for like $25.00 that go for like $300.00 or $400.00 now on Discogs.

The besmirching of shredding will not stand.
Of course there's still interest in the classic stuff. I listen to a lot of it, too. But that style of stuff isn't being re-done by bands today whereas Metallica is still shredding as a bunch of old farts.
And I still buy CD's and actually rip the files to a USB for the car.

One of my roommates in Seattle in the early 90s was spending his music funds on vinyl while I was loading up on CDs. He had a low fi system that I think he still uses to this day. I'd take it along with his collection.
I’m more shredding neutral than I am a fanboy of it as previously discussed. If it fits together with something else it’s cool. James and Kirk do it well

Youngest Nacho is 21 and a friend is 24ish, a singer and has a band. I’ve seen him play a couple small shows and he loves grunge era and the Foo Fighters.

Yeah mine is turning 24 this winter. I got him started but he knew more music from my era and even before by the time he was 20. One of the side benefits of his generation being so detached and sulky is that they listen to a lot of music.
