Is it an age factor when it comes to music that we tire from the rap, the headbanging music?

Question

I was young I loved all the hip hop r & b and twisted sister in tights and breakdancing to beat box I especially loathed country music most of it I thought it too uncool my friends would have hung me lol
Now I am in my 30's and slowing down on the types of music for instance it annoys me when I hear rap and heavy metal Id rather listen to classic rock the blues jazz and the wussiest songs on occassion even the country but thats it Am I old ?

Admit I too like the variety but stress free listening a good beat now and again so many artist on my myspace i have an artist of the day which are indie or blues or alternative or admit I like Mickey Avalon (Jane Fonda) Keith Urban is my favorite I can relate to in modern times to listen to the new genre with an open mind but still I have 2 say I relate more to growing up around folk rock, classics Crosby Stills and Nash Eagles and Jonny Winters.

Answer 1

Dude,your freaking me out man,thats the way I feel.

Although I never really got into the whole hip-hop music anyway.(I did a little)

Answer 2

Actually as I got older my musical taste got heavier and a bit more diverse. Classic rock bores my now, used to be in my teen years Zeppelin was cool, now when I hear them on the radio I'm going station surfing. Although I do have some rules on metal though, like the singer does have to make some attempt at actually singing at some point in the song, I can't stand full blown cookie monster vocals the entire time. But otherwise I'm always looking for cool new music. Besides sometimes when I'm station surfing I'll find something good that's totally out of my prefered music style. Like sometimes the classical station has something cool. And yes I am in my 30's

Answer 3

first of all your only as old as you feel. but music tastes sure do change as one matures. im 41 know and i have such a wide range of music i like but then it all depends on what im doing and how i feel what determines what i will listen to. The old stuff i used to listen to when i was a teenager i still enjoy just in little dosages. And for sure when i listen to that type of music i skip through songs to listen to only the ones i want to listen to because if i listened to a whole record i would have one hell of a headache by the time th album was done.
how bout this for old. I like some of the 30s and 40s music. country is good the 50s 60s 70s and 80s are the best. For todays music i like yanni and loreena mckennitt, leahy instumental orchestra. I started to listen to orchestra and instrumental about 6 years ago and it rocks. crank it up and do what ever relax or do some kind of work. Iatly i have listened to music that is from different cultures and countries and even though i have no clue what they are saying i like it.

Answer 4

I dunno. I'm 45 and there are some kinds of rap that I like. But it has to have more than "down with the man" or "b*tches betta shake it" to make a song. US3 is a fantastic jazz-rap fusion kind of band, and Cibo Matto has a combination of Japanese funk, rap, and bossa nova. Portishead does / did a good job of fusing rap with a Jefferson Airplane style to create "trip hop". And there's a lot of cool rap-inspired stuff coming out of world musicians like Cheb Mami Feat, Ustad Sultan Khan, and some of the Arabic and Indian groove artists. Check out Anjali, for instance -- she's the chick who did the music on the BlackJack commercial. That's Indian and blues, but it's pretty good! Sean Paul's album "Dutty Rock" is a pretty good rap album with reggae influences.

I guess as I got older I realized that not all good music was on one genre.

Answer 5

I think it's the fact that you might subconsciously see the newer artists as unoriginal, therefore annoying.

It probably seems to you like the new rap and heavy metal are just imitating the older bands that you liked when you were younger. Think about this though: Do you still enjoy the songs and bands that you grew up listening to? Is it just the new stuff that annoys you?

Answer 6

I'm 43, and I began exploring other genres of music instead of "classic rock"--In high school for me, Led Zeppelin and the Who guys were still alive and putting out new "records"--Now it's like, "Free Bird", "Layla" and the like, 30 years of listening to it, even occasionally, is painful. I like Pink and Black Eyed Peas and others, Beatles never gets old, but Pink Floyd, Steve Miller, Rush, great but old, and I mean OLD standbys. Not getting old, honey, getting mature taste~

Answer 7

I'm 14 and I love country music. I listen to rap and stuff occasionaly, but country has been my favorite forever. You're not getting old.

Answer 8

You're getting OLD! Stop it at once!!

I still love it when my head bangs
