I particularly like "recessive musical traits."The Black Keys and Nick Waterhouse may make music that expresses recessive musical traits, but it's very much modern music. If Nick Waterhouse were to go back to 1955 people might not recognize what he does as being "true" to the music of the day. Others might clearly see the connection, but the difference would likely be apparent to them as well.
This is interesting. I wonder just how well-received something like Waterhouse's style would be in '55, or maybe, in a different genre, how popular a modern Sinatra-style singer like Buble would be. There are, I'm sure, subtleties that would be picked up on.
