Musical tastes change over your lifetime too, so what was cool when you were a teenager might become cringe later on in life, and vice versa.
And even later on, the things that became cringe might make a comeback and become cool again.
As a broad category, 70s Disco is a great example of that. The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, ABBA, etc etc. were overplayed, but it was popular music because it was good.
60s and 70s soul samples become the foundations for new rap and dance tracks.
I love Judy Collins, Mary Hopkins, Harry Belafonte and other late 60s and 70s vocalists even though they were big before I was born.
