Yeah I also recognize some artist names, but no idea of the music on that liat

I'm even older. I definitely listened to that one The Weekend song, and must have heard some Post Malone and Arctic Monkeys at some point in my life. But I've always been anti-pop. Taylor Swift doesn't need my money. There are tons of obscure artists that deserve more attention.

And I cared little enough for it before I was forty. Pre-internet, you couldn't avoid it if you engaged in entertainment in any way. Nowadays, it's simplicity itself to find your own niche and avoid the unwashed mass's opinions altogether.
