    Agreed, I am also on that cusp (a Xennial if you will) and Springsteen was never in our contemporary music selection. I still like that he did it, but it’s points at pate boomers and early to mid Xers.

      Also same age (I prefer “Oregon Trail generation”), but I did grow up listening to music like Springsteen. It may be because my parents were older, but they often had the radio tuned to oldies or classic rock stations and so that’s what I got used to.

        That makes sense. I mostly heard “yacht rock” crap from my parents, which I ended up hating with the fire of a thousand suns, so i can’t relate :D
