It probably makes sense from a marketing standpoint; older folks dying off and younger ones moving in.

That's my demographic to which they are attempting to appeal. We are the younger ones buying-in now, and they need to keep the appeal for the longevity and success of The Villages.
My high school years were 84-87. I was born in '69. While I do like some rap (Blondie's "Rapture," Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" and Aerosmith/Run DMC's "Walk This Way, and even Vanilla Ice's theft of David Bowie's "Under Pressure," but especially Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" and "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash), I do not like anything that is considered glamorizing the crime and poverty of urban areas. I guess I like what might be considered "classic rap." I wonder if that will be a future genre, like classic rock. Should I trademark it now?
That all being said, I prefer Classic 60/70's rock, 80/90's and current day country, and 80's Top 100 and 80's New Wave music genres.
YMMV.
