Kind of a bourgeois question but whatever. People do actually listen to these radio stations. They will actively seek out radio stations that really do just play the same five or ten rock hits from the seventies, maybe mixed with some modern garbage. Why do they do this? What is going through their minds on the conscious and unconscious levels?
If it was an age-based thing, I’d expect the stations to slowly move forward in time, as whatever age the average person was in high school creeps forward in time. Instead it’s been the 70s and 80s for decades.
