My mom (now deceased) was literally one of the kids who stayed up late to hear “black music” on the radio and ran away from home to see Elvis, I wish I’d been able to record an interview with her before she got dementia. She wasn’t at all judgy (and I wouldn’t have had to run away to any show) just her taste ran to country and I listened to new wave and went to punk and hardcore punk shows there wasn’t a lot of overlap. As it was between her and her parents, so she thought it normal. The kids who listened to classic rock in my high school were the kids who wanted to beat me up, real conformist bullies so it took me awhile to come around to that, though I did go to Rush concerts with my brothers anytime they came around.

I’m not really a respecter of genre or age now, as you say, if it’s good it’s good. I love a lot of the new music coming out and some stuff from before I was born, plenty in between.
