Boomers were too young to listen to their parents' music.

They didn't have to listen to it voluntarily

Most 50s playlists were carefully curated by guys the Beatles' age who were teens back then so they just picked whatever music they liked. In practice this meant a lot of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, not so much their Aunt Sue's Doris Day records. It also meant such big names as Connie Francis didn't get on the list because they were too girly. It does create a distorted impression of what was popular at the time.

It was gay people that brought these musicians back to popularity
Jack Reyes
And country, that was huge too.

Christmas music was really fucking huge in this era. The Billboard top 10 featured a Christmas song every year from 1942 to 1964 except in 1952.

Rockabillys awesome stop talking shit

Music wasn't invented until 1965 with the release of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.

my mother was born in '54 and believe me she knows this stuff a little too well from being subjected to it in her childhood.
Parker James
you have no idea what you're talking about.
bernard hermmann osts, classical, doo wop, exotica, lounge, Esquivel, fucking Andre Popp, experimental electronic. But yeah normies. Hm.
I think that this is what normies were listening to:
Lawrence Welk - Bubbles

Which I love. Reminds me of The Shining and caretaker. Add a little tempo wobble with Audacity and your JRiver media player, maybe a light echo at the end. good times.
Matthew Hall
Goodwill record bins ought to prove that much.

Vietnam movies always feature the usual 60s rock stuff even thought it was probably more likely that soldiers were listening to Johnny Cash than Jefferson Airplane.

Nigga it was Chuck Berry even Bob Dylan will tell you
Landon Carter
Fellas, what was his song of the summer when he met kitty?
[spoiler]and what was kitty's? [/spoiler]

Ditto WWII and big band music. In truth by the time the US entered the war big band (which was mainly hot from 1937-41) was on its way out due to a combination of factors like changing tastes, musicians going off to war, difficulty transporting large touring bands around with wartime rationing, etc and country was starting to become mainstream. Ernest Tubb had a breakout hit with "Walking The Floor Over You" and pop singers like Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters started doing country crossovers.
Robert Reyes
Patti Page was part of the "new wave" of young postwar pop singers like Guy Mitchell, Tony Bennett, Vic Damone, Rosemary Clooney, and Teresa Brewer who weren't old enough to have been part of the big band era. yet impressively she had the decade's biggest selling record with "The Tennessee Waltz" which sold a whopping 6 million copies.
