Serious question. Why would you assume these goofy ass kids would know anything about the music from their parents time?
I ain't even gone hold them cause I'm absolutely clueless about the shyt my nephews be listening to
True, Ask a kid his age back in 1998 if they know who earth wind and fire is. probably have the same outcome.
but the difference is this is actually the same genre of music. I listened to Jay-z and Nas growing up, but i still knew who Kurtis Blow was. even though it was before my time. because on occasion we actually talked about our genre of music and subjects like who did what first or whatever sometimes come up.
At some point you'd expect them to go down a rabbit hole of hiphop music. What are they talking about when they have music convos?
Young basketball fans might like Lebron more than MJ, but they would still be called a casual if they couldn't identify Kareem or Magic or somebody
