There's been a few threads on Dad Rock, Boomer Rock, Classic Rock, and other related terms. While the definitions vary, there's often a pejorative connotation. Whenever this topic came up, I kept thinking "David Bowie doesn't seem to neatly fit into these categories despite being of a similar generation to many of the acts". And I kept wondering why. Was it just this weird subjective categorization in my head? I know that in Bowie's case, he stayed aware of contemporary artists all the way up to his final album. Whether it be Nine Inch Nails, Arcade Fire, TV On The Radio, Kendrick Lamar, and others. Somehow with Bowie and his collaborations with newer artists, it doesn't feel like "Boomer Artist collaborates with new artists" it just feels like great artists are collaborating because they like each other's music. There's less of a feeling of generation gap imo. Obviously this isn't to say that other acts don't appeal to newer generations. It's just that certain acts feel tied to certain decades and generations. For instance, I think Queen kind of straddles the line in that they're accessible and appealing to later generations, but also still tied to Dad Rock/Classic Rock by reputation (alongside Beatles, Stones, The Who, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd). What do you think makes it so that an act doesn't get categorized as the whole "Dad Rock/Boomer Rock/Classic Rock" ?
