(29,414 posts)22. Music of the Boomer Generation
That is 99% of the music from the 1960s, early to mid-1970s, as well as the music of their kids' generation, or modern rap and/or hiphop, grunge, top-40 pop & rock, and basically almost anything ever played on commercial radio.
Some of y'all may understand why I can't stand such genres, especially if you have ever paid attention to the majority of the music played over the speakers at restaurants, retail shops, and even outdoors. Has no one heard of electronic, jazz, art/progressive rock, or even public radio for that matter?
Technically, I'm a boomer, too, born near the end of that period. The muzac of the time is more enjoyable as a genre than everything the rest of the boomers shove at us all.
