I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's

I’m a Boomer and there is no way that I would consider any era of music to be better than another.  It is all in the brain of the listener. 95% of the Boomers that I know only listen to the same rock/pop/soul music that the listened to in high school or college.  They might go to a classical music concert, but the they have no idea of any current music music is.

I listen to all sorts of current music in the blues, Americana, bluegrass, jam band, and Jazz genres. The people that I see at concerts include Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials.  The new music that is playing at those concerts sound good to everyone at those concerts.  The younger listeners have the advantage that they can better utilize technology to find the best new music and artists.

If you stream, how many Boomers actually explore the genres? Like, click on Tidal "Hip-hop" or "Indie" and listen to a few songs from 10-15 newly released albums? I mean, it's easy to shy away from genres we don't like, but there's always good gems in them if you keep an open musical mind. 

Poor things…

they never got to stumble into a Tower Records on Sunset Blvd at 2 in the morning. See The Who walk in (stumble, really) to admire a pallet stack of their new LP, Who’s Next. No one really paid attention to them, because all 10 people looking at LPs were frozen. We heard knocking, and more knocking, “open the door man…it’s me, I got the stuff”…

Not sure how many Who LPs were sold that night, but everybody, including the baby boomer Who, walked out with that yellow LP. It was sensational. 
 

I feel bad for people who look down their noses at other generations. And I think it's pretty awesome that technology allows GenX, Xennial, Millenial, GenY, etc., to access just about every kind of music ever made at the push of a button... something generations of the past never had. 

Short sighted post, dude. Get off your horse.
