Well, if you're talking about glam metal, it's probably too terrible for them to listen to.
If you're talking about death metal, it's probably too scary for them.
No one likes nu metal.
If you're talking about heavy metal in general, 80 year old woman probably don't even like the Beatles. So by the time heavy metal developed, they were in their 50's or so. Probably be listening to jazz and blues.
And as for rap...why would an old lady listen to that?

Because they were brought up with very different types of music back in the earlier 20th century and by the age of 80, you tend to be stuck in your ways and continue to like music you always have done.

Well they were brought up in time where people didn't listen to rap and heavy metal music, plus they don't particularly approve of the stereotypical image that comes with listening to such music.

well firstly an eighty year old women has a very poor physical strength so she cannot jump up to the music and dance every now and then
secondly as the age passes by old people are always into their good old dayz where they used to listen old time melodies......so they never tend to except all these hip hop musics

People are afriad of things they don't understand, and heavy metal and rap and very different from what they're used to. Some of them keep up with the times very well.

Actually most people 'fossilize' with their musical tastes. Some people continue to experiment with new genres throughout their lives but studies have shown that most people stick with the musical style that they preferred in their late teens and twenties.
I bet you could find some open minded grannies that would like it but most probably can't get into it simply because those genres didn't exist when their musical tastes were forming.

I am sure some do. When I get 80 I will be one of them. Because I love metal.

its probably because they where born in a time when their music was really old and classic, and the music now a days is high in energy and they just aren't used to that kind of music

generally, people like music of their youth, and in 1927-1947 there was no rap or heavy metal.
