If one just watches the endless procession of pop, rock, country radio play then you'd get the idea that the timeless music is all a distant memory.
However, if you look under and around the corporate and media radar screen you'll find a lot of actual creative activitiy going on.
Jazz - hasn't shown any sign of dying yet. In fact it seems to grow at its regular rate. Check out Brad Mehldau and Kenny Garret's new albums.
Classical - New and important works of art are being commissioned by established ensembles, institutions and private parties as well as independently produced recordings and performances.
Rock - Indy labels are popping up every day. Bands who would never have had a chance to win exposure on wide levels in the past are generating interest and audiences through indy distribution via the internet and word-of-mouth.
Folk, spoken word, small ensembles, world music, antique music societies abound! You have to look for them but they are there. These are the back-alley venues probably right down the block from where you live. Their music will be remembered long after the corporate schlock of today's radio is long forgotten.

Well, if you watch enough television and movies, not to mention commercials, they are loaded with classic music from the past.
Good music will stand the test of time, bad music dies a quick death.
People relate to the music they grew up with, for a lot of the Boomer generation, it's the fifties and sixties.
For those older than that, it's the forties. And the younger ones, it's the seventies and eighties.
Now, as a hater of hip hop and Rap, I'm not sure how long they will last. Frankly, I thought it would be dead by now.
Shows you how much I know, lol.
As they say, "To each his own".

Usually, a song would have to be pretty hot to become a classic in the present, but you hear them now and then.
