The Electric Generation, or: A Life Without Rock

Some time ago, while talking with friends about the music tastes of our teenhood, I realized that I may be part of the first generation (of white kids) in whose life rock music played no significant part. I was born in 1979, and began seriously listening to music in the early nineties. Back then already I digged electronic tunes like "Poing", "Dominator" and early British hardcore. For a couple of years I listened to a lot of Europop, which, in essence, is electronic dance music too. Then I turned on to more "pure" electronic music: from trance to gabba to techno to house to jungle to Goa to electro to... Later on I fell seriously for rap and r'n'b, and in my twenties, to jazz and soul and funk. Sure, I've made a few forays to rock (hell, I even bought that black Metallica album, because back in those days every kid had to own it), but if you'd take rock away from my life, it wouldn't really be different. So I was wondering, is my generation the first who could claim this?
