As to the children on the radio; they're just full of shit. The creativity-fades-with-age fallacy has been debunked a dozen times. I have heard some disappointing performances by aging rockers, but those were mostly down the obvious laziness of their rehearsal processes, not the simple misfortune of "looking old". Given the implied "youth" of these commentators, you could just point out the uninformed agism of their perspectives and send them tumbling into fits of reactive virtue signalling. Who knows, you might even be blessed with an accounting of their afflictions!
