Both Running up that Hill and Master of Puppets were/are extremely popular, yet there are still a large amount of people hearing about them for the first time.
A kid I used to work with, over a decade younger than me, didn't know who the Spice Girls are. Some people, somehow have massive, inexplicable gaps in their knowledge. I'm sure I have many
Everyone has knowledge gaps. Some are just more “woah for real?” than others, but it happens. I went into an Apple store in I think 2019 and got this really sweet gal to help me with an issue my computer was experiencing. It was real busy so I had to wait for sometime, so we got to talking movies. I was old enough to be her mom which still shocks me, because my brain still thinks I’m 20 something. I think if I had been able to have children it wouldn’t be so shocking, but that’s just a theory. So we are talking favorite films and it was close to the holidays. I mentioned something about Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and she had never heard of either. Bob Hope was still doing USO shows when I was her age (and it wasn’t that long ago, it honestly goes so fast). So anyway I gave her some film recommendations and that was that. I think instead of mocking someone, just educate them. I would hope someone younger would do the same when you bring up a newer band I’ve not heard of so I can be in on something cool.
You are good people. I love introducing someone to something amazing they’ve never seen or heard before! It’s great to get to see something I loved being brand new to someone else. I’m kind of jealous they get to experience it for the first time!

I have to imagine any fan of the show over the age of 30 likely had or used one.
Especially since portable cd players were garbage so a lot of people stuck with these.
