Generation Gap in Rock Music Experience

Ciao all!

I am curious about different perspectives/ opinions about rock music across generations...

I have a gold mine of my peers who are willing to discuss such issues, but, I do not have any people that belong the older rock generation... those who experienced it closer to its debut on the music scene, who have seen the evolution of rock from something like the Rolling Stones to something like Franz Ferdinand or TV on the Radio...

So, in brief, I was wondering if there is anyone out there part of this generation willing to discuss how they feel about the evolution of rock music and how they experience it in the context of daily life...

Do you have the same listening patterns as they had originally? As your own life as changed, how have their listening patterns/ tastes change? Are you avowed rock fans for life? Has rock retained its symbolic meaning for you and others? How has age and time, in your opinion, affected the rock music experience?

At the moment, this is just a bunch of random questions-- I'm mostly just going for a preliminary survey of what people think, so feel free to pick and choose questions to answer, or offer responses to questions that aren't there if you so choose...
Thanks!
