Seeing some #XPN2021 chatter about which albums belong to which generations; thought I'd provide some context!

Daniel Levitin explains in This Is Your Brain On Music (2006) that we are primed to latch onto tunes we love between ages 13-25 (puberty til our brains finish forming). 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
