Fifty years ago, how many teenage Beatles fans knew about music from 1915. That would be the equivalent. OTOH, a goodly portion of Beatles fans knew the music of Scott Joplin, thanks to the movie, The Sting.

Not in the ‘60s they didn’t. The Sting came out in 1973. But something like the Maple Leaf Rag was always known.

Very little material from the 1915-era was preserved at all, and the primitive technology rendered it almost unwatchable. The comparison to 1915 was not apt because of the vast changes in technology and the vast proliferation of media in the post-war (WWII) years.

The Sting was 1973. Several years after the Beatles broke up.
