You're super late to the party, my friend.

I've never really understood the mindset of "I listen to MY music, and that's it ... "MY music" being what they grew up with in their teenage years and within their geographic area.
If I were to have lived that ethos, "MY music" would probably be the Nirvana grunge years and the ensuing 90's style rock, along with that "Gangster rap" hip hop, which was a part of growing up in urban Miami. And that would've been it. People would be rolling their eyes at my parties, as I blast "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the the millionth time.
Lucky for me, my Dad was a bit of a musician, where my father introduced me and my older sister (who is also a musician....I am the black sheep) to all sorts of oldies rock, blues, latin, jazz, you name it. And then I had my uncle, who was only about 13 years older than me, that proceeded to adulterate me with all sorts of heavy metal and ill-conceived albums of the 70s and 80s. When I got to the Marines, my "heartland America" friends showed me the ways of the Honky Tonks.
In my car, I shun the news (I like a positive state of mind), hate radio stations, and find podcasts and books too boring for a drive. Instead, I use my cartime to explore all different types of music. I never understood why every single generation HATES the music of the following generation. Things change. One must adapt, and learn to connect. When I listen to today's music, the impetus has usually been to build a bridge or connection with those younger than me. At the same time, when Im exploring music from the past, its always with an appreciation of the generation that savored it best.
I love that my next generation of family is constantly sharing music back and forth with me, as I exchange screenshots of stuff we're liking all the time. They send something new they think I might like, and I have it easy, all I gotta do is forward them literally any of the THOUSANDS of hits before the year 2000 that they have never heard of

The only music stations I listen to are Country. R.I.P. Toby Keith. He was my favorite. Good music and a good man.

Yup, while I like and listen to all kinds of music (NOT rap, etc — sorry) I gravitate towards old-time country and bluegrass when I’m alone. If the wife’s along, not so much — she’s more of a disco type gal, and as they say, “Happy wife, happy life”.

Nice! If we ever meet up - we can discus if NO is better with or without Peter Hook.
