I'm in my 50's and play electronic music.. so yea the vast majority of what I play is by producers younger than me.. sure there are some excellent producers in my genre's of interest who have been at it longer than I have been.. who were the major influencers of the styles that were cool when I got into it.. sure, some of them are still around. But for the most part, the torch has been passed and it's the younger talents who are making the bulk of the music out there, and.. as always.. some of it's really mindblowing, some is pretty good.. and a bunch of it is crap! Just like it was in the old days
But what's really sad is that recently I found out that some of the musical giants that I have respected all these years.. like.. since childhood.. turn out to be completely terrible people. For example, I just found out that both Eric Clapton and Van Morrison are hideously racist and.. Van Morrison is an antisemite as well. Now that really sucks.. to find out that people you respected are actually terrible.
