Mid 40’s guy here - the last Beatles album was released 9 years before I was born and their last concert was 10 years before I was born. I agree that popular bands don’t stop having fans the moment they break up but there’s 20 years between when they broke up and when my peers started to have their own mususical preferences.
What age do you consider middle aged?
40s if you’re in the US, that is quite literally the midpoint of the average human lifespan here

But that’s far from retirement…?
Right. Middle aged ≠ retirement age
Yes, I agree. I was referring to @honytawk@lemmy.zip’s statement that the middle aged people were about to retire in a couple of years.
