I'm over 50 but never got AC/DC
Every person has different tastes in music, and that's OK.

They are so great because they are midgets (ask Keith) playing the most pumped up ROCK (AND have/had some ROLL too).
Just Great songs. Simple lyrics.
I got all albums, some on vinyl (from when I was a kid) and all except Rock or Bust because Malcolm is not on it.
I don't give a damn about AC/DC supposed poor lyrics. They are spot on.
My taste in music today is wider though... and my taste in lyrics even more at age 52.
I like to quote stupidguy2 two posts ago:
True, I had a friend my age who never liked ACDC. Of course not everyone liked them, but I guess my point was that ACDC was, in a way, the antithesis of what modern audiences like today...things have to be clean, politically correct and deep.
I can't think of any new artists that personifies what they had.
Edit: Axl Rose vocals ...... , but I must admit I really got goosebumps watching a YouTube clip with him singing Shoot To Thrill.......
Some other songs got me more

The Worst.
If you put on the legendary Let There Be Rock concert from Paris and still don´t get it, you just don´t get it.

That might be the best explanation of ACDC I've ever seen!

Sheeran will be forgotten next year and Swift is a pop singer whose music relies on beat boxes and keyboards. She uses a rock image onstage just to add weight to her tepid music.

AC/DC aside, I think plenty of kids can and do appreciate the songs we listened to, especially if they have an obsessive rock and roll parent who constantly exposes them to the music.
But most of them will never understand the role that rock played in the lives of their parents' generation. But then I can't really connect to hip hop and rap, though I do like many of the songs.

the problem with a lot of todays young folk is they are not conditioned to trying to find great music, instead they listen to what they are drip fed from todays society
