I think the millennium divide will keep people from lumping it into "modern" and "like, so 2010, dude" as quickly as previous decades. Not to mention that the music industry is undergoing rapid change in content diversity since the internet's advent. Either way, there will still be too many idiots who will call this time in music the last era of music being good before all them damn kids started trying it. There will also be those morons in the younger generation who stick their noses up at (or remain willfully ignorant of) older music simply because it's not new.
There's also the question of what's modern and what isn't. Is it just a date or is it more closely identified with a sound? If you were in a band in 2026 playing the same old **** that they were doing in the 70s, I'd honestly hesitate to call that music modern.
