Older classics still live on for those open to them. You get retro pop for example in all kinds of different styles through the decades. In the 70s and 80s there could be retro 60s pop for instance. Over the last few years there has been plenty of retro 80s stuff. All kinds of styles are possible in pop, not just those there are the most hip in a given moment. As for bands changing up their style of song just look at The Beatles they did all kinds of different songs, and that was back in the 60s.

i don't think 60s, 70s or 80s pop sound "dated", they might only in terms of production values, not the construction of the melodies and the structure in general
and you have to understand that those tunes were made in the zeitgeist of those times
