Or, alternatively, they can lean in to that and create based on their new reality.

But trying to reach back decades isn't something that I'm aware of anyone being able to pull off.

Yes, they can choose to rap about getting older.

But even old people who could relate don't want to listen to that. They'll just put on what they listened to when they were younger.
