Music with staying power is obviously timeless. The 90s delivered some pretty good music (rock and rap) before autotune became a thing and ruined the industry. I almost cried when "my music" showed up on the classic rock station.

I prefer a mix of older music. By the time you left the 80s, well, I started not to pay attention to what was "new". Maybe a few groups that had an older sound to them.
That said, there's only one reason there's so many 60s-70s geared stations. A huge cohort of baby boomers.
I remember when there were 2 or 3 "oldies stations" that played a heavy dose of music from the 50s, and when your lower bands of fm had a bunch of big band era and the like, not mumble rappers.
I expect classic rock to have some staying power, but I also expect it to start to decline.
As for bookends of the cold war:
