Relax, it all more than evens out. Most of us know of most everybody from ancient Greece to mediaeval England
to the Civil War to silent movies to the big band era to yesterday, politicians and writers and artists and athletes
and singers and actors. Ask most people under 40 and they've never heard of anyone from before 2017.

Out of the loop is synonymous with irrelevance from a generational perspective.

The nine stages of life

Diapers
Mobility
Schooling
Knowing it All
Knowing you didn't know it all.
Knowing you know less than you once knew.
Retirement
Immobility
Depends

I think Bill Shakespeare had a similar take on it.

Saw a bumper sticker today:

"I use to be cool"

At first I thought "Nice grammar, moron"

Then I realized "Maybe they're just bragging about doing drugs."

I'm still in the loop. I listen to Siriusxm Channel 18 The Beatles Channel. Hard to listen to anyone else after growing up with The Beatles.

If you sported a mohawk and listened to Black Flag...
you can at least take solace in the fact that you used to be cool.

I lost it when rap & hip hop became the mainstream music that kids listened to. My musical tastes always leaned towards "Alt" whether it be rock or stripped down acoustic stuff. Then record/CD stores died off. Thank god for satellite radio. Then Netflix Hulu, streaming became a thing...meh. I'm not into science fiction, comics adaptations or horror and that also became a trend...more meh. Thank god for books ....that you now pretty much have to buy online because you can hardly find a bookstore...

In the years since, hardcore punk has become more mainstream but believe me, in 1980 we were considered freaks.

Henry Rollins is still relevant. He is curating vinyl reissues for Sounds of Vinyl and recently published a book of his photography. I was listening to punk in the 70's. Heard the Pistols in 1976. I did not wear the 'uniform', but those at the shows did not care.

I'm not even old yet, i'm 26, but I am a manager at a country club and a lot of my employees are in the 16-23 age range, and I sometimes feel out of touch. I'm only 4 years out of college and sometimes these high school and college kids talk about stuff and i feel really dumb not knowing what they're talking about.
