Yup, it's all about perspective. If I'd been born in a different era I'm sure I would have been a fan of different things. We're shaped by what's around us.
I'd never say that everyone must like what I like, since there's no conceivable way to make a 60 year old truly understand what early-1990's alternative meant to me...or to make me truly understand what the Charleston meant to the generation that came of age in the 1920's. It's regional too, since I'll never truly understand country music, or the NY music scene.
Sure, I can appreciate good music of many different eras/styles/regions to some degree, but will it ever mean as much to me as the music that gave me solace during my teen years? Nah.
Same goes for fashion/architecture/etc etc.
