I think it's odd but kind of cool that kids relate to music made so long ago. Rock used to be the primary cultural outlet that differentiated one generation from another. For example, in Elvis Presley's day kids loved him but parents saw a vulgar performance of crude noise and sexual innuendo that in some ways played into thier racist insecurities. Twenty years later rock music started to alienate Elvis' generation with its alignment with a broad counterculture that seemed determined to overthrow all of society's conventions. Older rock fans may be somewhat perplexed when modern rock doesn't define the younger generation as much as it did in thier time. A more typical experience would be classic rock parents and hip-hop/raver teens. Rock isn't what it used to be.
