What will we listern to when were older?

Question

Ever wondered what music we'll listern to in the golden old years, after all old war songs won't appeal to us!?

Answer 1

Old war songs appeal to me!
So does much of todays music.

Answer 2

You typically find that older people cling to their teenage and young adult life, and so the music I listen to now is likely to be a major part of my older life.
But music itself is changing, and the strict borders and boundaries which existed even only 20 years ago- the typical parent saying "Whats that racket?!"- has pretty much gone and music has not become about appeal to social groups, but a uniform aim to attract listeners.
Also, you also find that grandparents are more technologically aware now- it's not a case of senile grandparents getting confused about the latest boyband. Most older people and grandparents use computers, can download thing from the internet or even own an iPod or mp3 player.
and so the uniform attraction of the big bands like the Arctic Monkeys, the availibility of music and the greater acceptanc eof technology insociety mean I can keep onto my love of Depeche Mode, and still keep ahead in the music world.

Answer 3

I am older. Fifty-nine. My favorites are Bryan Adams (still), U-2 (always), and Carrie Underwood. I really like James Blunt, Snow Patrol (super much), and Rob Thomas. I haven't stopped listening to The Beatles, The Stones, Collective Soul, Melissa Ethridge, or the Scorpions. See? You listen to a lot of the same stuff as when you were young but also adhere to some newer stuff. I do not dislike Hip Hop but totally don't get most Rap not only for the "music" but the lyrics. I have grown kids and granddaughters and they affect what I listen to as well. I hear a lot of Disney stuff both Princesses and the teeny bopper stuff now. I really LIKE Hilary Duff.

Answer 4

To be rid of old war music, we'd have to stop war. But that's another topic. It is true though that music's constant change will effect the way we look at "classics". To think of finding Disturbed, or Panic! At The Disco onsome AM radio "classic" station. lmfao.

Answer 5

Obviously anyone with half a brain will be listening to led zeppelin, the who, pink floyd, rolling stones, beatles etc, but also being quite young i will be listening to todays music such as arctic monkeys, babyshambles, dirty pretty things etc, also as a base player anything with an extremely funky bassline

Answer 6

I listen to the same genre of music I did when I was 12. I have no doubts that I will listen to it when I am older. Crikeys! That was 20+ years ago.

Answer 7

Don't know about you but Ill be listening to Metallica, Zeppelin, Pantera, Floyd. Gonna have a turbo charged granny buggy with go faster flames, an still going to gigs.

Answer 8

The songs you listen to now and know and love that trigger memories will be the same ones you listen to in your golden years...have a long happy life..

Answer 9

my era was the 70s and I still like that type of music to this day, but I quite like modern music as well I was still watching top of the pops until the end.

Answer 10

I can totally imagine myself when i am like 70 or 80 listening to i dunno Sex pistols or guns and roses and my grandkids going, "why you listening to that! Its not hard its really boring" with them thinking its boring and me being crushed because the music of my time is no longer hard. Of course then the only "rock" bands left will be pop bands or maybe if we want a really hard contraversial band, the scissor sisters, scary stuff! lol
