kids can balance like we did.

just like back then...we didn't listen to new music exclusively. we did also enjoy some older stuff. which means today's kids have the benefit of the music we listened to plus the newer stuff. that is - if they want it.

plenty of us didn't listen to the songs you posted in the OP - i was one of them, for example. i wasn't down w/corny-ass recent love songs - if i wanted a love song that wasn't all bumpin n grindin then i tended to reach a bit deeper into the past for it.
