I’ve gone the other way, learning to appreciate the music from my parents’ era that hadn’t appealed to me growing up, plus some Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw.
I have gone that way for years, not just in music, but in movies and literature.
In my early twenties I began listening to more Jazz and Classical, then Big Band and even Country/Western.
LOL, my current favorite album is by a woman named Diane Taraz titled “Songs of the Revolution: A 21 Song Salute to The Music of 1776”
When the wife is gone, I crank up Big Band and Martini Music on the Luxman/Klipsch KG-4’s. It’s good background working music.
That’s generally been my trend as well. I’m occasionally forced to listen to ‘new music’ due to grandkids and other relatives. I find modern music variously chaotic, non melodious, boring, sounding to ‘processed’, or just plain vulgar. Various combinations there of.
I really enjoy the Big Band era stuff as well - but my daughters and sons-in-law are both musicians and music buffs, so The Colonel’s Wife and I have been exposed to a bunch of artists we wouldn’t otherwise have known about. Frankly, they’ve gotten me to listen to some stuff from my era (70s-80s) that I never listened to at the time. As my high school choir director always said, “I want you to listen to all kinds of music. You don’t have to like everything, but you do need to appreciate what it’s trying to say.”
My youngest nephew(he’s 9) is turning into an avid Beatles fan.
