No, that's the uncharitable, strawman version, that goes for pedanticness over understanding what it means.

It's more like a crooner saying they're being put out of a job after rock n' roll or the Beatlemania, while still having gigs...

Yes, they might still get work and sell some records, but they have a harder time justifying their career, get smaller audiences, and people see them not that culturally or socially relevant anymore...

It's the opposite of a straw man. The previous post was a straw man, deliberately changing the analogy as well as the subject. I restored the analogy.
