music revival
Old sounds returning
A music revival is a renewed interest in a musical style, genre, or tradition that had faded from popularity.
Revivals typically involve younger musicians rediscovering and performing older forms: the folk revival of the 1960s, the swing revival of the 1990s, the recent vinyl revival.
The term can also describe a resurgence in an individual artist's career or catalog: Her music is experiencing a revival among Gen Z listeners.
