I said my favorite music was made before I was born. It wasn't "the stuff that came out when I was growing up is my favorite" which is what people keep replying with.

No, we're talking about the music that YOU LISTENED TO when you're young. And young in this trope means music you listened to before you were in your like 30s to 40s.
