Will todays music have the staying power of past artists? Have Gen Z + Millennials just adopted the classics not from their generation? Is this good?

Examples like Sinatra, Aretha, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Diana Ross & Supremes, Elvis, Eagles, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Chuck D, Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Green Day, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Alicia Keyes, Nirvana.

Are there still great artists making great music? Who are they? Introduce us! Are you annoyed these generations are stealing your artists instead of developing their own?

And don't dis Kesha or TSwift. They're modern originals. Also, my choice for BEST modern artists: Run the Jewels (Killer Mike & El-P)

Some of it probably will. Remember that the staying power of songs from the past are the best of the crop. Everyone forgets all the total garbage from the past, since you never hear it any more. There were some pretty crappy songs in the top 40, and even the top ten.

No because there are no musical standards, no quality control and ANYONE can release music now. All you need is a laptop to make 90% of today's music. Integrity in music is a thing of the past.
