Pop music for adults: coming full circle
Looks like the baby boomer generation continues its domination of the social, political and cultural zeitgeist, overwhelming every other age-group demographic, at least in terms of economic clout.
According to the latest figures made available by our favourite group of coconuts, the Recording Industry Association of America, people ages 30 and older are buying 56% of the recorded music sold across North America, up nearly 14 points from a decade earlier. Although pop music may have been dominated by young people since the birth of rock 'n' roll, change is afoot if Elysa Gardner's USA Today article, Pop: Rated G for grown up, is to be believed.
