I can see some groups having that kind of connection to the songs of Fifty Cent and Jay-Z. They do not connect with me all that much because I never really had the kind of experiences they are singing about.

I've always maintained that whatever music was popular when you were in high school will be the music that stays with you for your entire life. For me it's the Beatles and the rest of the British invasion but I have a friend several years younger who loves techno pop. I think that techno pop is one of the least emotional types of music that exists but this guy almost gets misty eyed over DEVO.
