Answering this question, my grandmother told me about how much things have flipped. She said that people used to be so much more respectful and kind to older adults whereas today, there are many more instances of people being rude and irritated towards older people. She thinks its because people care more about themselves and vanity because of media pushing a more individual-based 'American dream' in addition to youthfulness at the expense of older people.

Music took a massive leap in my grandmothers life time, over the decades she remembers the massive popularity and influence of Rock music. She was and still is a big Elvis fan, in addition to the Beatles. She remembers how big the "twist" became and told me about other dance moves like "the bump". A happy memory that she told me about was how she remembers listening to popular rock music on the radio and dancing with her friends after school. She also mentioned Queen and how popular rap music became with people like Snoop Dogg, NWA etc.
