I think that it could be a fair assumption and a sense of rebellion against their parents as a kid, but I think the reason why they don't explore it for themselves is more because of peers, not parents. It would be a fair guess to say at my school of over 1000 kids, not one of them has over sat down and explored any music other than the music that is on the charts and "cool" according to society. I am frowned upon everyday for my musical tastes by kids around and they have never taken the time to explore the artist themselves but rather just label it is "****e" or whatever they choose. (Elvis Costello was todays example, he got labelled as a "rip-off of James Morrison" according to one kid)
