None of those artists are classic rock…. they make music in the same style as classic rock bands. But none of their marketing says they perform “classic” music. And that just more or less proves my point, they do t even call themselves classic, since it literally means older music, and isn’t defined by genres…. And they make modern music in that style, but it’s not “classic rock” and no one calls that.
As I said, older music gets phased out as newer music gets phased in, that’s why Cash is considered by some to be no longer classic.
If classic rock is this defined genre, why is every list different, and why does every list include artists from a wide swath of genres? Not just 2-3 like you’ve claimed?
The only people who would still be considered to make new “classic” rock, would be a heritage band coming back and putting new music out. But even then, they don’t call it classic rock or anything like that.
