Music and getting older....

[HfdWolfPack]

With all this talk about Megadeth, Nirvana, new music, etc.....

Ever notice how most of us in our late 20's/early 30's think the "new" music mostly sux?

Isn't that what people 10 or so years older than us said about the music we like?

just a thought

LOL well my dad who is around 40 something (I don't remember until his b-day comes up. ) likes a lot of the newer stuff, of course if I listen to it he listens to it..

LOL, WolfPack, did you just open a can of worms!

Actually, there's a TON of new stuff around (I just got KROQ working in the garage---the $600 tuner won't pull it in, but the $80 boom box gets it just fine! ) The rap stuff still escapes me, and the really angry teen-age-angst, well, I sorta outgrew it.

But that still leaves some 60 % of the new stuff, and it's pretty vital, and has a pulse!.

Maybe it's just external age. I remember many years ago, (I was 30,) and this cute little gal and her friend (age 14) asked me, "what kind of music did you like...back in the day...you know, when you were like, YOUNG??"

I hadn't been aware that I had somehow gotten OLD...

And I still haven't!

"what kind of music did you like...back in the day...you know, when you were like, YOUNG??"

Ohhh man I bet that was a rude awakening for you. eerr of course it wasn't, you're still a young one!

LOL, Mike...
You are a Gentleman and a Scholar.

ROFL thanks so much knothead.

Well, at the ripe old age of 48, I find that I do like a lot of new music. I also like the older stuff (oh...back to the 1600's say ) better than when I was young.

Like Knot, I can't get behind Rap, teen agnst is a non-issue, and anything particularly profane turns me off.

But I like a lot of the crazier modern stuff, much of which is quite inventive. However, don't ask me to name names. I just don't keep track.

I still listen to and like some of the new stuff.



I guess it's funny to see a 32 year old balding guy buy and listen to something like a linkin park or RAtM cd.

Seems the stuff I grew up on in the end of the '60s and thruout the '70s still sounds ok, not sure what happened in the '80s ---I cant believe I listened and liked some of that stuff as it makes me cringe nowadays...
I like "todays" new rock and have primarily listened to KROQ for over 20 years...

Like Cadd, I too am 48 and quite nostalgic about the late '60s/early 70s music- Tom Jones, Gary Puckett & the Union Gap, Otis Redding, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Roger Miller, Doors, Led Zep, Cat Stevens, Stepphenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Monkees, Tiny Tim, Engelbert Humperdinck, ....just a few that come to mind.

Don't care for the Rap/Hip Hop stuff- too contrived for my liking though the teens love it.
