You really sound like an old man.Your parents thought what you were listening to when you were young was total crap as well-that is what made it YOUR music.
One of the funniest things I ever read was Dave Barry describing how much he HATED it when his parents heard "The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles and liked it and how it started appearing on radio geared towards "old people"...it was HIS music and how DARE they listen to it.
He also describes in full detail how much his father hated Hendrix, and even before that Buddy Holly. Can you imagine??? Someone thinking Buddy Holly is the "devil's music"??? I love Buddy Holly...but I really think he is the farthest thing from offensive...but hey in 1959 older people thought he was.
Change is good...can you imagine what the world would be like if each generation continued to like the same stuff that the previous generation was into??? Where would we be??? I mean geez in the 1820's Paganini was considered to be on the same level as Eminem is today in terms of his standing with the "old" folks.
