I like to point out that when I was just entering college, The Clash's "London Calling" was less than a year old. Today, "London Calling" is roughly as old as Sinatra albums from the early 1950s were when "London Calling" came out. I'm not bothered if kid's never heard of them.https://twitter.com/ThatEricAlper/status/1201559580888780800 …

20s music is mostly small pop bands featuring lead horn players, violin, guitar & sax players w/strong melodies & hooks-power-pop in fast 3-min songs, similar to what the British Invasion brought back to the U.S. 30 years later. G. Harrison was a big fan of Beiderbecke and Bing.

I have extra cool points for quoting Arctic Monkeys lyrics at my younger daughter. Who introduced me to them.

The Arctic Monkeys have been around something like 17 years. Just sayin’.

He begins his premise with "heard of", then argues his point using "listening" to music from the 30's. His point would be more valid if she said she didn't listen to or like Van Halen. But she said she never heard of Van Halen.

I didn't listen to music from the 30's or 40's when I was a teen in the 80's (my favorite of the time was rock from the 60's & 70's), but I at least "heard of" some of the famous artists of that era. Van Halen was one of the few 80s bands I actually liked during the 80s.

I don't think I'll ever get away from 90ish hardcore and "skate" punk. The good thing is, there are still plenty of great bands from back then that put out awesome albums.

Only reason I know who Billie Eilish is, is because the kid listens to her. Van Halen? I recognise the name.

In a similar vein, my 11yr daughter often says "exsqueeze me?". When I then reply "baking powder?" she looks at me quizzically and asks what I'm on about. She doesn't know its from Wayne's World
