I don't recall saying or thinking that. I just think you didn't need to add that it was before your time. A lot of music I like was before my time.
Here’s the thing I also didn’t say it being before my time meant I couldn’t like it. I’m just saying I don’t.
My point is the music is objectively different and subjectively I don’t care for it.
There are younger millennials and Gen Z kids that say the same thing about music and art I grew up with. If the feeling is different they might not enjoy it. The point isn’t you can’t enjoy it. It’s that it’s different enough that I personally don’t.
I like a lot of stuff from the early 80s and 70s from before I was born. It’s not a time issue. It’s that the Rat Pack is even further back. They’re what the 40s? That’s a considerable cultural difference. I never said it was bad music or anyone else shouldn’t enjoy it. I just don’t.
I think what’s getting lost in this is Sabs is the one who was being snobby about not being able to find anything enjoyable in a catalog of 100 covers. I was just making a snarky joke.
