I can't name a single song from 2018 off hand. I listen to the radio, but mostly NPR. If I turn to a pop station for a while, I don't pay attention to the artists, or know if they are new or old, unless I recognize a familiar song. There might be something out there that I would think is awesome, but I haven't noticed. I find music new to me mainly on youtube, but it's not necessarily current.
I'm the same way with movies. I have little idea what's currently playing. When I go to the library to pick out some DVDs (streaming is expensive where I live, and our main library has huge room with a gigantic selection), I'm as likely to pick something from 1942 as I am to pick out something from 2017. I go with what sounds interesting.
No one cares. Why did you post all this crap if you don't care about the subject?
I like music and spend a lot of time listening. But things have changed. People aren't listening to the same music as a nation anymore like they did when radio was more prominent than streaming. There's less shared music experience. Popular music until the past decade or so was more widely experienced. Now you pick what you stream, so you stay more in your bubble of experience . That has implications for what is relevant 50 years from now, and those that have said none are on the right track, I think, because of that. I'm not knocking the quality of today's music.

This thread reeks of 2018. Two years later, and many of these artists are not as relevant as they looked to be. My guess is that the question is flawed.
50 years ago, there was not the universal access to all different kinds of music like we have today. My impression is that you listened to what was on the radio, and to a lesser extent what you found out about from magazines and record stores. This made superstardom almost inevitable for bands that made it into a public light more than once, so many more people paid attention to a smaller group of artists.
Contrast that with today, and it is super easy to promote or find all sorts of different music. All of these posts list a variety of music, but I think there won't be the generation-defining bands or artists like there were before the internet. My guess is that in 50 years people will be listening to what they listened to, but since there are so many more things that people are listening to now, there will be fewer generation-defining artists.
Granted this theory is from a high school junior who gets information about 60's and 70's pop culture from my parents.
Fun to rediscover things like this though.

This sentiment has been echoed a few times and I believe it is the correct one. The shared experience of a society probably has a lot to do with what that society will remember. Artistically, we have fewer and fewer shared experiences as everyone dives into their own algorithm generated niches.
However, of those Twins are still listening to music 50 years from now, who knows?
