Telling them the genre of my favourite band is usually enough for them to understand I'm not speaking of the same music act, though.
I also understand the sentiment of wanting to relive your youth, since I sometimes already wish of doing so myself haha. But I'm fine with the future too, and whatever else's going to come with it. I don't think I could make the most of the present if I was always thinking of the past. So I try not to dwell on missed opportunities, and also try to keep doing something to make my future better.
Also, I think my tastes have been quite solidified for a while now. It's been over three years since a band I used to like became really unlistenable in the present, and my current favourite band has enough variety in their work to fit a larger spectrum of tastes than the average band. Ever since I really got involved with music I had liked the Metal genre. My tastes have mostly expanded since, for every band that I discarded there would be 20 to take their place, and I think I'm quite content with what I already like, though I may find something else which I'll like more than anything I've heard before in the future, I'm certain I'll never dislike most of what I like now, in the future.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
