How many kids like me in the 1950’s and 1960’s were introduced to classical music via Looney Tunes?

One side comment. When one gets into the 6th and 7th decade of life-the desire to hear certain popular AM/FM radio songs for the umpteenth time loses its attraction.

This makes a ton of sense. Most of the teenagers I've worked with have, at some point, shared similar frustrations about detesting the older generations' beliefs that they are more superficial, less-intelligent, and less capable than their elders. Combine this with a drive towards drifting back towards the real world (total time spent on the internet is trending downward with time, not upward anymore), and this may be part of a counter-cultural response towards rejecting where we've been over the past decade or so and where we're going. If this is true, I'm very much along for the ride!
