I'm talking about by people who are into music. As one of the thirtysomethings you just mentioned, I can certainly assure you that disco was not my grandparents' music, it was even a little too late to be my parents music, so I'm not really sure where you're going with that angle. And who cares how old it is anyway? People still discuss bebop. People still discuss ragtime. There's no statute of limitations on music that can be discussed by music fans.
