Compared to the Baby Boomer generation that preceded them, Generation X grew up with different musical influences due to the emergence of new musical genres and technological advancements in the recording industry. For example, Gen Xers were exposed to the rise of punk rock, new wave, hip hop, and electronic music, among other genres, that were not as prevalent in the Baby Boomer era.

While Baby Boomers were known for their love of rock and roll, folk, and soul music, Generation Xers embraced a wider range of musical styles and subcultures. They also grew up with the introduction of MTV and music videos, which played a significant role in shaping their musical tastes and preferences.

Overall, while there may be some differences in taste between Generation X and the Baby Boomer generation, it's important to remember that music preferences are subjective and can vary greatly within any given age group.<|im_end|>
