I feel like Bruce is probably not what a lot of these guys were listening to in high school. A lot of them look like they’re under 40. The Boss’ core audience is Gen X. Born to Run was 1975.
I’m right on that X / Millennial cusp, and Springsteen was the music my older cousins listened to. They’re about 55-60 now.
Agreed, I am also on that cusp (a Xennial if you will) and Springsteen was never in our contemporary music selection. I still like that he did it, but it’s points at pate boomers and early to mid Xers.
Also same age (I prefer “Oregon Trail generation”), but I did grow up listening to music like Springsteen. It may be because my parents were older, but they often had the radio tuned to oldies or classic rock stations and so that’s what I got used to.
