What do you do when you see a young (in age) person that likes more things before their time?

By young, I mean like maybe a child or young adult, that’s into stuff from before their birth rather than the present or their time. Do you feel you can relate to these people despite the age difference?

    We, if I can speak for all us oldf.. people, we can relate with most anyone who isn’t an asshole. At least that’s how I feel.

    I relate better to people not stuck in a past they never lived through.

    What do you mean by relate? Young adult and children can be into anything that’s appropriate for them. Are you appropriate is my question?

    My kid born in 2011 kills it at 80’s music trivia on Alexa and online. Kiddo is damn solid on 70’s, 90’s hip hop, and Motown too. They can put on the 80’s music on a road trip and sing every song word for word for an entire 14 hour drive. And also loves all the 80’s John Hughes movies. I think it’s just what you expose them to when they are younger? This child loves current music and media too, they just have widely varied knowledge and taste. Recently ordered them a “Running Scared” tshirt for their Easter basket and I know it will be an instant hit. IYKYK.

    I relate to anyone who treats me fairly. As long as what they are into doesnt harm them or anyone else, I have no problem with them. I rather appreciate a younger person who like the same type of music or whatever as me. It creates a path for us to be able to empathize with each other.
