Poll: Old or New? What do you listen to more and why? (hip-hop, jazz)

Zarko · 03-08-2009, 06:51 PM

Well in general I 'gain access' to a lot more new music than old music... If I am downloading something, chances are its from post 00's. However, I tend to enjoy the older stuff more.

I think you need a healthy balance of both. That's truly the only way to know what you're llistening to and where it came from. I suppose it also depends on what you condsider old.

I'm happy with dividing old and new at 1990, maybe just because that's when I was born. Certainly, if I can remember when a song was new I don't consider it old.

I probably download more new releases than older music, because they are the things that catch my eye more when I'm prowling the internet. But I do like to explore the older gems. I don't think the age of an album influences how I feel about it either way, except maybe impressing me if they had a sound 'ahead of their time'.

If "new" goes all the way back as some people are suggestion I may have to change my answer. I take "new" to mean no more than 5-10 years old.

I like both old and new music but it's obvious I lean towards the former. I don't tend to check out many new releases for that reason but also because I simply have a huge backlog of older stuff to check out. And I sadly don't have much time in which I can listen to music nowadays.

Yeah thats the time period I see it as...

Older music seems to be more meaningful compared to the newer ones, so i like them more.

Back about 4 or 5 years ago I would almost exclusively listen to older music because I was ignorant and had convinced myself that all new music was **** because the only thing I bothered to listen to was the **** on the radio. In the past few years though I've begun to explore the underground and now I almost always listen to newer music.

I like the way the originator of this thread put it, now i'm learning about new stuff and i want to know where their roots stem from. So it sort of forces me backwards through old music which is new to me, and i find myself craving this new sound of old classic stylings, i.e. the be good tanyas, moldy peaches, elliott smith. There will always be a spot in my heart for Iron Maiden, Metallica, Floyd, Tull, ac/dc, Zepp, Janice, Jimi, John Denver, Abba and many many more, I just don't want to spend what left of my life sitting and listening to old songs I already know the words to.

I love melody that I used to find at the top charts before 1999 but for the last decade I noticed significant improvements at technology while decrements at melodies.
