I'm 45 and the early 90s was my era. I find those over 50 tend to prefer the 80s and don't like 90s dance (in particular).
Apparently the average age of the Radio 2 listener is 35. It's not uncommon to hear 90s dance stuff on Radio 2 now - even Steve Wright had a segment of his Friday afternoon show dedicated to it. I'm not a regular listener, but on the occasions when it goes on in the car, very little of Radio 2's music is pre 80s nowadays.
