There's things I don't like about Gen Z, but most of it I understand the reason behind it. The not liking rock music thing is too bizarre though. Everyone liked rock music. If you were in grade school in the 2000s, you were liking music from the 70s, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin - through the 90s.
It seemed like every generation appreciated rock.
But I've heard that Gen Z does not like rock music. I don't get it. To me that's like "not liking apple pie"; it's such an American cornerstone that it's baffling.
My grandparent's generation called rock "noise" and "of the devil". To be fair it was a large departure from music before the 50s, even though 50s rock is incredibly benign. I'm uncertain if they ever listened to it objectively though. Whereas I can appreciate good jazz and big band from the early to mid century, and classical obviously as well.
I tried to listen Gucci Gang, for example, and some other recent rap and so much of it is indeed trash. I'm not certain if Gen Z like it to be ironic or if it is truly appreciated.
Supposedly, jazz was the rap of its era (Roaring Twenties), but it's clearly more technical than rap.
