I read a list of the best guess for the remaining 9 excluding the tree but my parents both enjoy football so should certainly know who that is anyway. Only the best guess for Queen Bee, Hedgehog and Fox are names they know.
How is this any different to casting on I'm a Celeb? It's unusual for me to recognise more than one name in those line ups, and I'm right in the target audience.
Don't mock - for people like my parents the lineup is poor because they is no fun for them guessing those they never heard of.
But not every parent is like yours though, some might be vaguely up to date with music. Can we just agree to disagree that some acts might be familiar to some people and not to some. It's fun at the end of the day, not a marketing brief.
The more knowledgeable of 2000's music over 50's are probably more commercially valuable to ITV - more insular people probably don't spend as much or change brands as often.

Because the identity is the pay off for the show not the personality.
My mum’s 60 and knew exactly who it was given that she’d watch and listen to everything I grew up watching and listening to, including The Darkness.
This over 50s thing is garbage.
Mine's nearly 70 and also fully aware of who The Darkness are. BM11's parents might have been locked in a basement since 1980, but most other people aren't. And I doubt for most people not really knowing who the people are will do much to hurt their enjoyment anyway.

It's a family show not tightly aimed to the 50+.
I say it's targeted at 25-50 with a couple of names with expected wider recognition added in

But none of the names are people that only the 50+ would know more than other age groups.
A TV broadcaster would love to have 16-34 tune into their programmes, it's a gold mine for advertisers, especially in the age of streaming. 50+ doesn't sell as well. It makes sense to have a variety of celebrities in the show from all age ranges and generations.
It's not rocket science. Your making this more of an issue than it actually is - the tweets on twitter aren't exactly moaning about this, more for the cringeworthy but can't stop watching factor of the show.
