The term "BeBop" was coined by the trad jazzers as an insult to the modern jazz player's and their music. They took the term and made it their own. Funny where some things start and where they end up.
Will today's and future generations know the difference between "British Invasion" and classic American rock bands? Will they think it matters?

Thank you. I appreciate it. I understand now. I am slow sometimes.

Seen this band lately.
Audience was somewhat older than at the 90s New Year's. Maybe too artistic/intellectual? I don't know. I think I saw one guy who was at both, looks in his 20s and dressed very 70s.

My older son, a millennial, named his dog Bowie. My second son gave his second son the middle name Eno. I don’t recall ever saying anything leading to this.
That is some weird music. I can't say i like it, but the it is properly done.

You have to watch the whole videos to get the point, it can be the opposite of what you may think when you just see the beginning.
Well it doesn't make it for me. I watched the whole thing, and perharps not for me. I don't get it. My bad.
edit could you try to explain a bit the meaning ?

They look like xenophobic skinheads going into the school with refugees. Looks like they want to beat them up (but don't really). Refugees rise up, looks like they want to fight. But then they dance together. School officials come and panic.
At the end, Russians (and other peoples from Russia, Asians) marching, holding up a piece of Earth with a guy with Asian features holding a flag. Sings about "honorable nation".
Of course, it's all artistic, and even the singer makes no comments, maybe also to avoid getting in trouble. The first video I posted was from 2021, seen as kind of prophetic and the shootings at the end actually happened later, and could be even more controversial.

Reminds me of when John Lennon famously said "Before Elvis, there was nothing." But I think he was trying to get to Paul, whose dad had been a traditional jazz musician in the 1920s and maybe 1930s.

Usually, when I need a cold shower, I go to a page like this:
en.wikipedia.org
And immediately I find answers to many questions..
"British invasion" vs American rock? - seems not to matter to anyone
Rock in general? - seems not to be a top choice
Guitar? - yep, still there
Music and audiences move on, we don't necessarily keep up I guess.

I'm a Gen X my first records bought were 2nd wave punk (Clash SLF), I took up the guitar in '76 after a childhood of guitar obsession.
I had no idea about any British Invasion until my late teens (mid 1980s), I even thought Eric Clapton was an American until the mid 1980s. I had no interest in that style/genre of music back then and probably only heard about it via other guitar playing friends.
I doubt if I'll ever have an interest in either British Invasion music or American Classic Rock, with the exception of one or two artist I've found indirectly.
I'm aware that these genres of music make up for a large proportion of a certain demographic of guitar players, the majority possibly, but it only represents a mere blinking of the eye in the development of guitar playing.
I don't think it's place as some kind of legacy genre for guitarists could be reasonably expected or warranted for any future generations. Guitars are better than that.
It's overrated enough as it is IMO.

There are kids today who don't know whether the Revolutionary War happened before, or after Vietnam. In general, anything older than 10 years ago is ancient history that no one cares about.

The other day I walked by a pretty large, brand new section of sidewalk. Probably 200 square feet of virgin concrete, and NOT ONE KID had scraped their initials into it. Not only am I worried about the youth of today, I'm worried about the fate of humanity.
