My parents had me in their mid-late 30s, and weren't really "pop" people: they had Sgt Peppers but everyone had Sgt Peppers. Dylan's Greatest Hits (never played), a Doors album (ditto). That was it pretty much. I played Peppers as a kid but otherwise their record collection might as well have been from an alium planet. Not just 'different taste' - no point of connection at all, nothing I could recognise as popular music.
I think that kind of experience was more common in 1966 than in 1986 (when I was 13), and probably more common in 1986 than now. But I don't know for sure.
