Bra I am in my 30's too. Rock and grunge may have been a rival. But you/I know the words to a lot of those records from back in the day. Jesus, your experience is just like mine. What a mash up of music we dealt with.
Absolutely bro, funny enough as I got older I came to appreciate a lot of the east coast shyt that I thoroughly dismissed like nas and wu but definitely it was rough being a west coast head growing up, whenever we did run into each other we treated it each other like members of a secret society lol
