The major difference is that even younger generations then were exposed to timeless music that came before them. Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts...you were going to learn. Parents now don't take the time to sit with their kids and just vibe or talk...they just hand them screens at 5 and let them go.
And that absolutely has to change. Bernie Mac was a prophet.

Had you really never heard the song or did you just not know its name?I’m 32 and I had no clue.

When I was in highschool and someone asked me who sang Change is gonna Come or What's going on the answers woulda been Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye without hesitation
Soul music used to be important in the black community before the rachetness

No. My mom has always been into Michael Jackson. So I would have known all the Jackson 5 songs, or Stevie Wonder. But we never watched Apollo, and I didn’t watch Soul Train until middle school.
After listening to it the hook sounds familiar… my mom is real religious so I didn’t grow up listening to that kinda music.

Chill fam I meant “secular”. I get grilled about this enough in real life.
My homie had to put me on to a bunch of old school r&b.
we would have known about some 60s music though.That's like asking me, when, I was in junior high (1998), wtf came out in 1968.
exactly. i was in highschool in the late 90s, this is like asking "who sang Backstabbers?" we would have got that within 2 or 3 people.Nah breh I get your point but the old heads put me up on game with
chaka khan
steve wonder
smokey
etc...
I got put on
shoot i was in the car seat rocking out to the classics

You flabbynggas can't live wit the fact, that Motown Philly, came out 30 years ago. 30 years! 3 decades, ago.

To you old flabbies, but again...the 90s and the 60s were two, completely different times. The same, can be said for 2022, and 1992 (no matter, how many similarities, you see today).
In 96-97
I was listening to Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway, Etta James, James Brown
I loved The Isley Bros, I discovered those artists as a teen and groups from the 60s & 70s
So to me it's this generation

I get your intent, but what's really being highlighted is the increasing disconnect between generations.
My grandmother put me on to Cab Calloway, Dizzie Gillespie, etc. Mom and aunts put me onto Diana Ross & The Supremes, Fats Domino, Little Richard, etc. I came up on James Brown, The Stylistics, The Brothers Johnson, Chic, etc. So, technically, my generation, X, was responsible for giving your generation a musical influence education like we'd gotten from our elders.
Unfortunately, a couple things happened that made that task nearly impossible. The first was the Internet. You didn't have to come to us for information since you could find it, yourself. The second was Biz Markie's lawsuit which changed licensing/sampling procedures.
I'm oversimplifying for brevity.
Suffice it to say it was MY Gen's obligation to give you what we got so you could appreciate Black music from times before you even existed.
We dropped the ball.
