That's a great question.
In radio, the line in the sand tends to be 1964 because of The Beatles and the cultural change and impact they created.
If you hear a station claiming to play hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s - it usually only goes back to 1964.
"Nostalgia stations" like Magic used to go earlier but avoided the later Beatles era.
Different formats for different tastes
