Do you "feel" musical eras?
Discussion
I was born in the mid sixties, as I got older I started to enjoy the music my parents would play, largely sixties stuff, Beatles, Stones, Motown and general chart stuff from that decade. Maybe it was because it was from a time I mostly didn't remember but it always had a certain feel to it, a certain feeling of something past.
These days I'm very eclectic in my tastes and pretty much everything feels "lived" to me, sixties stuff however still feels like it's from somewhere else, somewhere different. I wonder if this is something about sixties music specifically or just the process of finding our own musical level.
If you are in your early forties now does music from the seventies have a different vibe to stuff from the eighties? Or if you're in your thirties and twenties do you have similar feelings about the stuff from the decade before you were born?
This is difficult to nail as I'm not really talking about different styles of music - I like most seventies stuff, whether it be rock, disco, soul or whatever - but more a feeling of having lived it.
Perhaps I'm just rambling.
Ironically, as I've now learned to play Rockabilly guitar (badly, I might add!) music from the fifties sounds completely natural to me, I feel a part of it, but the sixties stuff still feels like another era.
