Question

piease anybody help me

Answer 1

Actually when listened to very carefully there is no difference. My parents grew up with Lynryd Skynrd, Alice Cooper, Grateful Dead, etc. At that time these bands were taboo and many of the songs were about drugs and violence (not outwardly spoken as now, but in a type of code). The song "Tambourine Man" was actually about drugs, but doesn't say right out as this was unacceptable at that time. Now I listen to Pantera, Slipknot, Metallica, etc and they are the taboo of today, just like my parents favorite bands were in the 70's.

Answer 2

I am 66 and I like songs that came out when I was 12 to 22 ...50's and 60's rock and roll and love songs ...that had no cuss words and no violent overtones. "Mack the knife" was about as violent as it got.

My grandson likes everything I like but he adds hip hop and modern country songs about topics like divorce and drinking and cheating which I feel are not appropriate to a ten year old.

My siblings who are 10 to 14 years younger than i, prefer their music much louder than I do and their favorite singers are more "cut bait or fish or get the H out of my boat" emotionally. No pining away for lost loves in that bunch.

My folk came up in the 30's and 40's and thought rock and roll was the devils music and they liked crooners and banjos and Hank Snow and Burl Ives.

My grandma and grandpa born in 1897 and 1900 both played piano and liked honky tonk by the time I came along in 1940. They would roll back the rug and play for the neighbors because no one had a much money to go anywhere back then. Two or three families would go fishing all night on the river bank and grandpa would play the mouth harp. And my daddy would sing Irish songs to woo all the older ladies.

Answer 3

Actually I'm still young (19) and I like older people music and young people music. If your comparing music from the 50s to 80s and the music from the 90s to now, then music back then actually had more meaning to it. Todays music hardly has meaning.

Answer 4

My teenage daughters and I actually have rather similar tastes in music. They like a lot of the music I used to listen to in the 1960s and 1970s and I like a lot of the music they listen to today. The only type of music none of us like is rap.

Answer 5

I am 16 and I love Tina Turner music. She is wonderful. I also like Celine Dion. My sister likes today's music. My mother likes Patti Labelle and today's music. She also likes Kenny G. My dad likes old music and Prince. My brother likes anything.
