There is also the cultural/political context the music was produced in. Some kids might be intrigued by what was happening in the decade before they were born; others, not so much. Notice how you said you knew music from your parents' time, but you only knew music from your grandparents' time to a lesser degree? The relevance tends to fade with each generation.
