I know. However, many of us such as you and I also know a great deal of music from the Big Band era, and in classical music, even though we have no memory of these eras. I always think it's no excuse if younger generations only know the rap and the screeching noise of today's so-called music, but don't know the great music that preceded it in the Awakening era.
Such is the glory of musical recording -- and efforts to recover "lost" music. Does it really matter to most of us that Bach's Brqandenburg concertos are three hundred years old?
