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?

Every time I think, wow this song is 50 years old. We are so stuck in American nostalgia we can't move past it. And that in 30 years radio stations will still be playing these songs. And then at some point I'll die, and they'll still be playing Journey, and they'll be almost 100 years old
