broaden their musical horizons and share it. Even President Obama had a discussion with them on one of their YouTube videos. I just didn't like what SNL did. My prerogative.

It’s easy for boomers like me to forget that what happened in the early 90s was before they were born. So all the music in the 60s through nearly 2010 predates them. Also, prior to their channel they listened primarily to rap, hip hop, and other music. So they wouldn’t have had the occasion to listen to other types of oldies unless they sought them out.
