20 years ago, teenagers wore Misfits & Ramones shirts, maybe Black Flag too
Now I see people wearing Nirvana shirts, and I think it's just the cool thing to do - I dunno?
These are two different things. 20 years ago it was the alt kids who were shopping at Hot Topic wearing those shirts. Many of the kids were actually listening to those bands or listening to current descendants of those bands or at least thought those bands were cool.
The current trend of wearing Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, A Tribe Called Quest, and Blink 182 shirts (the 5 most common groups I see lately) usually has little to do with the music. The big, vintage t-shirt look is currently popular in the mainstream, but only a small percentage of the kids wearing the shirts care about the music of the bands they're wearing.
Which is fine. I doubt there will be a similar moment in pop culture 20 years from now, but I do think vintage band shirts will remain cool with at least some kids or groups of kids. Hot Topic has made this work for them for like 3 decades.
My guess is that those kids will be wearing Nirvana, Metallica, blink 182, Olivia Rodrigo, and Kanye West shirts in 20 years.

You have a minute, because I have some bad news that you might not have heard and it may take a while.

Bad Bunny,
You think Bad Bunny will be doing arena tours 25-30 years from now?
I don't follow country music, so I will take your word for it on those acts, but I don't see Eilish or Malone - both of whom I like - having generational staying power.
When you look at the top selling tours, it's mostly bands from the 70s and 80s, with some 90s and 2000s. I just don't know if we will see that from the 2010 and 2020s. And it's not just quality. There is so much music available, that lots of acts get lost in the shuffle.

Stadiums - probably not, arenas - most likely.. he's the biggest artist in the world by most metrics, still fairly young and latin inspired music isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Sorry...but there are ZERO new artists or relatively new that will be touring big venues in 25 years.
NONE....I have teen agers and they say the same thing. New artists now are all about "look at me" and have zero staying power.
Except Taylor Swift.

If we're just talking about tshirts, then it will be whichever bands have the coolest designs. Kids these days are wearing band shirts as a fashion choice, not because they actually listen to any of those bands.

That’s a bold statement and really dumb

Olivia Rodrigo
I'm not so sure about this. While she's certainly popular right now, her lowfi style music (at least the little bit I've heard from my daughter)is not something that inspires and will last through generations. I don't mean this as a knock on her talent, because it's not bad. It's just a style that won't last. How many people still talk about Bjork? That's who a lot of the new lowfi (or whatever the kids call it today) artists remind me of. There is a big time influence there from her unique style.

No, it's just dumb.

She sub-headlined Coachella last year both weekends, and her shows in Europe last month were all at 15,000 plus seat arenas - and her last tour in the states averaged over 14,000 over two/three night stints

She has her core following, which I am one of, but that does not mean she is widely popular today. She'll always have a strong fanbase. You overstate the popularity of many of the bands you list.

Don’t know about Bjork but her style is 100% molded by pop and 2000s pop punk. Good 4 U is basically just the Gen Z version of Misery Business
