Just one man's observation, but I've been a full-time DJ since the '80s, and my experience is that audiences want less old music now than ever before. When I DJ'ed high school and college parties in the late '80s and through most of the '90s, over half of what I played was music from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Kids didn't want much more than a few of the current hits, and the '80s were almost entirely out. That slowly began to switch in the 2000s. Now, when I play parties, whether it's for young or old guests, I'm playing almost entirely music from today back to maybe 2015. Oldies are floor-clearers.
