That's me in the 90s, but I still equally appreciate music from far before I was born. It's in a different context, yea, but the common denominator here is that the reason I don't like most 80s music has nothing to do with not being old enough to have been swept up in it.
I think we're saying the same thing though... that the credit 80s music gets, as good music, is [mostly] tied to people being ripe for that time period.
I was just coming at it from a different angle, I think.
