  Shit, my parents were boomers and raised me on 50s and 60s music. The oldest boomers would’ve been 35 in 1980

    The youngest boomers were born in 1964, so they’d be in thier late 20s at the end of the 80’s. Which were my parents.

    I also dont think there’s anything wrong with exposing your kids to older media, which was my point. Your kids will seek out new media without you, so giving them a foundation of things that came before helps expand thier knowledge base.

      You’re confusing Gen X and the boomers. Boomers were ~1948-64, making the youngest boomers 61 today.

      like 90% of my active games library is 2009 or older. that’s not to say i don’t give modern games a shot. they just don’t stick around like the old ones do most of the time. exceptions are, like, Path of Exile 2; which for all intents and purposes plays like a game designed prior to 2009 🤣

      so yeah, my kids definitely prefer the older stuff too. plus, i mean, what kid doesn’t play the shit out of minecraft or roblox today anyway?

  I do have a fondness for old rock/metal from that era too and am pretty happy with it, so maybe that's a green light!
