When my son was about 13 he asked me, one day driving in my car. Of course listening to The Oasis station here in DFW area. I tend to like David Benoit, Earl Klugh, Enya, Ripingtons etc.
He asked " Dad why do you listen to that music."
I looked at him and said, "at my age you want your music to calm you down not fire you up."
I have 2 kids a job and no more teenage hormones left. So I had a life of rock and roll of the 60's and 70's and I have moved on in life.
So I would say that is not a matter of being hotwired. They are growing and indestructable, want to take on the world and feel they can do it.
At our age, we have taken on the world and we found out the world hits back and doesn't play fair. Sooo I don't want to be fired up and take on the world. I just want my quiet little piece that I call home and that makes my comfortable.
I've flown all around the world and fly for work at American Airlines. What I truly like now is "Home Sweet Home"

PS While rebuilding his 65 Mustang, a 2.5 year project, we had to come to some kind of music listening agreement. His music is not that bad but I can't concentrate when I don't know the music. and my music was putting him to sleep. so we settled on Classic rock and roll from the 60's and 70's. Of course when his freinds were over helping I did allow their music.
Music recalls memories and feelings during those memories so yes they will have fond memories of all those songs they listen to now. Just as you and I do.
PPS "ie: will they feel the same thing for a Britteny song that I feel for an Al Green song?"
I don't think Al Green ever did to your loins what Brittney is doing to theirs now. Oh yea they will remember but for different reasons
