People in their 40's (rock, Nirvana, tunes, cover, classic)

acgfq · 02-13-2008, 03:50 PM

people in their 40's like me tend to have pretty close minded views of music. if i meet one more person my age who only listens to classic rock, i'm going to spit.

I'm 47 and I'm really not saying this to be rude but the poeple you know must suck at music. I have tons of friends in their 40s that are not fixated on classic rock.

SCHOOL THEM !!

Personally, I don't think most people open up musically until they get out of their 20's.

Hmm..no offense to any geezers present, but I too have noticed a definite preference to older music in our senior citizens. Which is why I'm so pleasantly surprised when I run into someone different.

Did it cross your mind that's cos they have access to a lifetime of extended listening Marijan?

That doesn't matter, I'd like to think that I'll keep up with the current music scene no matter what age I am. Older folk seem a bit weary in that respect.

Of course, this could all be my usual late night talking-out-of-my-ars-because-I'm-bored-ness...

Which it is...

...unless you intend to dump everything you've heard to date, when you turn 30.
No more Arctic Monkey's? No Shins? Need I go on...

Listening to older music doesn't necessarily have to exclude discovering new music...

I should also note that I don't listen to Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots nearly as much as I did 10 years ago...
