Why’s it so uncommon to cross a 90s-born kid who knows about 60s/70s type music?

Question

Out of all my exes, only like two knew what I was talking about. And thats mainly because their parents were old enough to be their grandparents. I mean, I love my modern day music (alternative rock, pop, hiphop, rap, country, edm, r&b soul, dancehall, broadway, indie, gospel, opera, reggaeton), I do. Moreso, I love music from the 80s (dance pop, rock, smooth jazz, techno), 90s (new jack swing, rap, hiphop, r&b, babymaking hits), and early 2000s. And even moreso than that, I love my 60s/70s (blues, disco, swing, classic soul, motown, and pop rock). I constantly see kids of all ages bring up Jackson Five, Elton John, Queen, Hall & Oats, Aerosmith, James Brown, Beachboys, Stevie Wonder, and The Beatles... I love them too.

Sadly to say music these days really has no talent , it’s more based off of appearance and image and just making a catchy song that takes a few basic notes to play I am not staying all bands but a majority of them are recognized because of their image compared to music back in the day , that for a band to actually make it, they had to be talented and make songs that proved they were talented musicians to be noticed , they didn’t have MTV and You tube for them to get noticed , musicians actually had to be amazing to get played on the radio and play tons of shows or put on a eye catching show to be noticed if the band wasn’t that talented like Kiss that got popular because of their stage shows and make up to be noticed So to be amazing most bands had to be amazing on instruments for them the get a big following like Bands like Rush and Led Zepplin , that are very talented on instruments etc they were noticed for there actual talent compared to bands like Nirvana and Bush that really didn’t have instrument talent they just made catchy tunes and started a new Trend of Alternative music that had the Help of MTV making them look like this amazing band when really they weren’t very talented musicians , mYV was the biggest joke ever and contributed to accepted shit music and giving those bands and image, so Kids in the 90’s were drawn to shit they seen on MTV and Kids today are drawn to shit they see on YouTube , I am not saying there isn’t any talent today but bands today can get popular just by their appearance or making some catchy dumb song that took 3 notes to play , Mainstreamed music is mostly untalented music , I can go on and on but bottom line you are going
To like what you like , I love 70’s music as well as 80’s and 90’s I can’t really say I love 2000’s yet all the bands I like are From back in the day There
Isn’t a new band now that I would waste
My money on going To see in concert because it seems like talent went out the door

I don't know. I like older music too and think music these days is lazy and unoriginal. A lot of other 90s kids probably were never even introduced to the stuff you and I like

Listen... I love a lot of different music. But your rarely gonna see a 60's kid listen to music today, the same way a 90's kid rarely listens to 60's music. And that's because your level of exposure to music when your younger stays the same for most of your life.

Jackson Five! 😍 I love 60s and 70s music. I have the Forrest Gump sound track on CD lol.  And the Beatles! I was born in 1983 though.

razelove · Answer

They don't watch enough Quentin Tarantino, play enough good old games like Battlefield Vietnam, or listen to the radio as opposed to streaming on the phone, which will just feed you more of the same instead of diversifying what you hear.

The_Maphio · Answer

Because modern pseudo-art fucked their brains off.
People who speak instead of singing, and usually do so about the most uneducative stuff possible.
People who create cacophonies of electronic sounds, repeated ad nauseam instead of a well-structured piece of music that can be written as it has a shape and reasoning behind it.
People who make nice jingles, accompanies by eardum shattering sets of distorted, boosted bass.

Younger generations don't know what music is anymore. Unless we are talking about those who got a modicum of education in fine arts by their parents, who were somehow knowledgeable in the field.

Lliam · Answer

It seems like they would have to hear it in the house from their parents when growing up. And even radio stations that play 60s and 70s music just play a very narrow range of songs that were hits. It's like the same old shit.

I think it's funny that even you didn't mention a fraction of the outstanding bands from that era. I was mostly into psychedelic, rock, hard rock and progressive rock back in the day. My God there was some good stuff! And the really good stuff didn't even make it to radio. You had to own the albums.

Mark987 · Answer

I think it depends on what you like and what the people you surround yourself by. I am born in the 80s which to me is the best decade of music.. but also love the temptations, Sam Cooke.. 90s was very big on the " Alternative/grunge" era.. as well as in hip hop artists like Tupac and Biggie... it all depends on the person

Hans222 · Answer

That's a very good question. Most younger people seen to think music started in the ninetees. My parents loved "sixties" music and so do I, but the later generations do indeed seem to have forgotton.

Anpu23 · Answer

My bet is because most of my generation doesn't listen to a lot of our parrents music. I listen to a few artists from the 60s and 70s but not many mostly early punk or, perhaps a little dark beat stuff but that's about it.

suisuiola · Answer

exitseven · Answer

My kids were born in the 90's and they all listen to stuff from the 70's. I was born in 71 but I had an older cousin that I spent a lot of time with. I sort of looked up to him and he listened to the Beatles and Stones, Joe Cocker, and Bob Dylan and Donovan. I sort of picked it up from him and my kids heard that music all their lives.

collie22 · Answer

Wiredone · Answer

My parents were born in the 20's and 30's so I had to listen to the old swing music, classical and country music.
