If you see 20,000 sheep running down the road in a panic, this is NOT the time assert your individuality. Follow them.
Some of them do, though. Amy Winehouse (RIP) did. Squirrel Nut Zippers,” broke through. Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Imelda May, Darrel Higham, Katmen, and others followed Stray Cats/Brian Setzer’s lead in reviving rockabilly.There's actually quite a number of folks doing that kind of retro-sounding stuff out there (and there has been for several decades now), but you have to look for it - it's not something that really breaks through into the mainstream.
I never did, but I had an unusual upbringing. Mom was a music teacher, so I grew up listening to EVERYTHING she liked/taught before evolving my own musical tastes.I know. I watch a few on YouTube. My dad listened to the oldies station when I was a kid. I listened to it with him. Got into my aunt's record collection. I think most kids go through this stage. "Have you heard of these guys, The Monkees, or this fella Elvis?" They all look at you funny and laugh. You never get the joke.
