Since the advent of the Beatles, no one under the age of 25, in the genres of pop, rock, and its offshoots, has had any interest in making music that appeals to anyone other than their peers. The sound may appeal but the lyrics are mostly meaningless to those of a generation or more older than the groups.

Off the top of my head.... Jake Bugg, London Grammar

Totally.disagree

Listen to the Arctic Monkeys and their lyrics are genius.

They appeal to me and I am well above there generation.

Good call on LG. I would add Sam Fender, Richard Hawley to name a few/lot. Maybe the OP needs reminding who was Frank Sinatras' target audience in the 40's, Elvis' in the 50's. Pointless!!

Never heard of Jake Bugg but like what I've downloaded thus far.

Rock & Roll came before the Beatles, be bop a lula.......

I suspect a lot of us are grounded at the music and / or artists we grew up with.

Over 60years since the Beatles. I'm betting there are many bands with a wide age spectrum of appeal. I would be interested to hear what music did appeal to all before the sixties. Maybe the rat pack or Doris Day or my granddad at his local.

If you limit the choices to white folks' pop music, that's a good bet, but there was more than pop music to listen to on the radio in the US. White people weren't the only inhabitants of that country.

I said "mostly," not entirely.
My mother liked Credence Clearwater.

Funnily enough, that was the same in the UK. Which is why so many UK bands of the early 60's cited Blues as their major inspiration. And then there was ska and reggae.

True but I was referencing the mid 40's onward. I should have been more specific. There are parallels though. Of course, historically it goes back to the 30s & the widespread listening to the radio but that was before my time. We had a radio, and a record player in the early 40s and I listened to a lot of music before I even knew who I was listening to.

I was going to say ABBA but 3 of them were over 25 when they broke through.

Re-read the first sentence for comprehension. I'll guess that you were probably around their age when you started listening to them.

I truly don't understand your point in the above post(having stated Abba don't qualify)

And no, Abba older than me... comfortably

And in any event I disagree with you. Plenty of artists post Beatles and under 25 made music that appealed to a wide range age groups

Eg Simon and Garfunkel

Hendrix

Michael Jackson

Pink Floyd

Eric Clapton

Stones

White Stripes

Adele

Ed Sheeran()

Maybe I'm not being clear enough.

I DID NOT Say that artists didn't make music that appealed to older people, I said, they didn't make music FOR older people. They were and are writing for their peers.

Why is that so difficult to understand?

That has always been the case, when the Beatles and Stones started a lot of the over 60's were aghast at their music and the way they dressed.
I feel the same now, most music I hear on the radio is horrendous. Fashion wise the amount of people having tattoos all over there bodies. Influenced by the modern stars.
I do not understand grime,house, or shouting loud into a microphone very fast. I am getting old, for me the best musical period was from the late 50's to 1970,
