Also, Obama has two college aged daughters and that's where he gets his contemporary music from. Of all things to be cynical about... I'm sure a lot of parents have tried listening to what their kids listen to, and, on occasion, found stuff they liked.

I'm going to invoke Occam's Razor here that a guy who was by all accounts a teenage stoner probably does, in fact, 'derive joy from music,' lol.

I am 50 and have two teenagers at home.

I do not listen to a lot of music but it is usually up to 10-15 years old. I do not listen to the 80's crying over a lost youth.

The music they listen to is mixed - there is a big part just fro the looks and it is unbearable. This the of music everyone forgets after 2 years.

There are styles I do not like.

And then there are great songs I discover through them by chance. Last one was K.Flay, staring with "High Enough". I was surprised to hear "Can't Sleep" in The Suicide Squad movie afterwards.
