Depends on what kind of older music you are talking about. I cannot say this in general, but in US, there are a lot classic rock radios. And, I have suspicions that the younger generation would consider those radios as something to listen to (Well, if they come across southern rock most of the time - which is the case in many places -, I can hardly blame them, even I got bored of them after some time and gave a forced break to that style).
Some go mostly harder (Ozzy), some go mostly softer (Elton John). But, still you can get to hear a lot of great songs from the past (Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Kiss, Rush, Rainbow, Guns n Roses, AC/DC, Van Halen, i.e., birth and death of classic rock and transition to other styles, are being played in I guess all of them).
