I'm under 20 and I know who Missy Elliot is. I also know who Lenny kravits is as well. I just think it's because they aren't in the mainstream also Missy Elliot hasn't really made any music recently so I can see why a younger crowd wouldn't know her. Luckily for me my parents had a wide variety of music to listen too so I know a lot more about music culture than most of my peers.

Thats cool that you were raised with a lot of music i feel it expands your mind (as cheesy as that sounds) but its good though because you see different perspectives and attitudes towards social constructs. My dad liked rock and roll and doo wop everything from kredence clear water to guns and roses and more hes really old lol and my mom is hispanic so she listened to salsa reageton and hip hop and even funk and because of where im from i heard country all the time

Yeah I'm from south Florida I'm from Cuban decent. My grandparents listen to all that salsa stuff. My dad is the same too he likes rock and old school hip-hop and my mom she just listens to everything for the jersey boys to Madonna then to the cure and rock out to Red Hot Chili Peppers. My parents aren't that old they're are in their early forties. I turn 19 in April. It's sad how most people in my age group don't even know who these people even are. They say they love music but they really haven't a clue of pop culture.
