Go For It, Emily!. I am speaking as the youngest of five kids whose eldest brothers were 12 odd years older than me. They were into Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin (and playing guitar) at the age you are now so I soaked it up when I was 4 y.o. or so. Later on I still listened to contemporary music but when I got to 16 myself and picked up a guitar I kept re-discovering Zeppelin riffs. I kept coming back to the music and can safely say that they are my favourite band. I can genuinely say that I get enthused and excited when any person of your age expresses an interest (and there are many that I have encountered). Whilst my opinion of contemporary music now is less than flattering (including most Nu-Metal - like Faith No More never existed!), I still find that I can pick and choose from new music and have a broader experience with which to form an opinion. On another note, a friend of mine of a similar age is stuck with the Drifters, Dean Martin and Elvis - now *That's* wierd in my book!. To conclude, your choices are your own provided they do not harm others, and choice of music is completely personal and rarely harms others. Tell your mum (gently) that you should be able to listen to any music you find pleasing and at the moment it happens to be classic rock.
