the gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum

In particular a question for all the "seniors" on the web, but maybe more important for the juniors.
- DO YOU RECOGNISE THIS SITUATION?
- IS IT STILL LIKE IN THE (GOOD OLD TIME)?

I remember me the end of the sixties very good, but there was a but: it was almost impossible to play a song, or worse an album, of our "idols", like BEATLES, STONES, even the BEE GEES. Within 30 SECONDS, mammy or daddy entered the room, asking if I didn't have to do better things, than listen to that ugly, dirty music. 1 Month later it was better, I had my own turn table. WHO remembers those strange items, it was a mini suitcase, you had to open it, the top served as an amp, and the bottom was this turn table, listening so much and skipping was manual, poor album and needle.
I have of course big, big favourite bands, but as always, taste is different.
My folks hated that music, even the softie song champions, the Bee Gees, but in this case I don't think that it was a question of taste. My mother, can really sing fantastic, but is a classic minded lady, with I think, more than 3000 CD's from every classical composer, like Mozart, Beethoven, and all those guys. My dad (+ 1974, at the age of 45!!!), he loved more folk music, and his all timer favourites were the DUBLINERS. I am convinced that my situation was identical to the situation of almost everyone older than 40 years. Now, I have to confess that my mother (77 years old) started to like some of our contemporary musicians, and yes I am guilty, I started to turn music from Dire Straits, but very well selected songs, like Romeo & Juliette and Why Worry. She will always remain like she used to be, but at least she stepped out of the "conservative" music fixation.
ARE WE DOING THE SAME WITH OUR CHILDREN? on 10 songs, my daughter will like 1, maybe 2 songs. R&B (still HATE this word), is her music. But she likes a lot of music, music that I like too.
I HAVE ONLY ONE CONCLUSION, and I WRITE IT IN LATIN:

DE GUSTIBUS ET COLORIBUS NON EST DISPUTANDUM = about taste and colours it is impossible to dispute. How many of yours have a similar experience? and I hope this topic can bring together the BEAUTIFUL international language of music, learning to appreciate our Parent's music, oyr own music, our Children's music. AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMPLETE THIS MISSION.
