....some of the younger people have parents with good musical taste -- craazy!! My parents listened to Broadway show tunes and Sinatra. But I guess a lot of people here who *are* parents have been a good influence on their kids.
Although I didn't say that directly myself, and I wasn't trying to convey that, I do think it is the truth, other than those of us raised in the Baby Boom generation didn't really have parents with bad musical taste, either. The parents music back then was just so different and for the most part slow. Plus that generation just didn't play their music as much as their kids did. I'm not saying they didn't play it at all, but back then(up to around 1968-70), other than the radio (which had much fewer stations to choose from), the old turntable was the only way to listen to music, and many adults didn't have time to just sit down to play it. Reel to reel tape was the only other choice back then and most music wasn't available on that format. Audio Tape cassettes, which change everything as far as making music easy to listen to, came out in the mid 60s, but only really started to be used by the mainstream in the early '70s. They were easier to play and soon after that portable players came out and all of a sudden you could play them anywhere. For years now it is common to go jogging or take a hike, etc, with ear plugs and a tape or CD player attached to you. But up till the '70s that wasn't the case, so the older generation didn't only not have the same means to spread their musical tastes, but there also were so many young kids in the '60s who were coming of age, or at least old enough to be influenced by their older peers to get into this still fairly new form of music called rock n roll. Rebellion against square parents was also such a bigger thing in those days too, which added to all of that.
Today, and again, for yeas now, it is much simpler for the young kids to be exposed to their parents (and grandparent's) music, and they are, and although kids music is still a bit different than their parents, it is still a form of rock music, so the kids today like some of the older rock they hear since it is in their musical genre, unlike what was the case 40 plus years ago.
