So let me throw this question into the group then:
If you wanted to reach a younger, less-educated crowd with the intention of
giving them some insight in the history of the music, how would you go about?
Are you talking about an educational setting, where you get to talk to
them? Or are you talking about playing a gig, and having them "get it"?
Dunno about option 2.
As for option 1:
Start by talking to them about music they already care about, and then
step incrementally backwards in time. This seems to work sometimes for
teachers who teach classical music to kids who really don't want to
learn about classical music.
