I'm rounding numbers and of course there's overlap here, but that means if Boomers were born between ~1946-1964, then they get most nostalgic hearing songs/albums/artists that were big between ~1960-1979.
Gen X (born 1965-1980) have a soft spot for music from 1980-1995

Millennials (born 1981-1996) love music released from 1996-2010 the most.
The oldest members of Gen Z are now turning 25 (!!) and started forming what will be their strongest emotional bonds with music in 2011. Music being released *now* belongs to them!
