I'm an old fart since I'll be 40 in a few days but I'm super-cool cause I listen to Kings of Leon. Right? That's cool isn't it? Kids? Kings of Leon. Headlining Bonnaroo. Hello?!!?
I was thinking that the things that I talk about most with my friends that are 20+ years younger then me is mostly music. With friends that are 20+ years older then me is mostly politics.
Conclusion: Music keeps you young and politics make you old.
I don't think there will be any new genres of music in the future. I think it has all been done by now, from ambient avant-garde to extreme electro-metal. What WILL change with passing generations are peoples' attitudes and relationship with music. There may be different formats and listening trends that will be appealing to kids, but not to "older" folks. If you think about it, it's already happening, with kids today preferring downloads and individual tracks to buying records/cd's and listening to a whole album from start to finish. We are now living at the beginning of a new generation, the iPod generation. Unfortunately, along with these new trends comes new attitudes regarding music, and the music itself changes to fit the current formats, becoming more transparent and less meaningful. Modern pop music has a disposable quality to it... it just doesn't sound "important" anymore like music released 15+ years ago. So, that's what I believe is happening and will continue to happen over and over again. It's not necessarily a bad thing... it just is.
you may have youth and vitality, love, but if you are this big an a$$hole in real life, you will grow old a very lonely man. you can count on it.[/quote

(JK I don't really)
Gee thanks for making me feel so bad about myself. I am not quite 40, listen to KoL as well as many other artists. People like what they like, why knock it? I don't like My Morning Jacket but I don't mind if you do. Tolerance

Seriously? I'm frighteningly close to turning 50 and have been listening to music since the Beatles were still recording. It's contantly evolving. I can't imagine why that would stop all of a sudden.
Speaking of getting old can you imagine the music rocking out the retirement homes in twenty, thirty years from now. I know I'll still be listening to metal.... Amps to eleven!!!

My apologies, I really meant that to be a stupid joke I didn't realize it would offend someone. Truth is I don't know $hit about KOL, never even heard 'em. So my opinion is pretty much null and void anyway. I'm not on here to make anyone feel bad. And as far as anyone else in your life that tries to make you feel bad, the great thing is that they can't do it without your consent.

Here's some karma to make up for it.
Awww, thanks! I was being more sarcastic than anything. Hard to sound the way you need to on a message board. Anyway...I am older than some of you guys but I still know how to rock out and have a good time! I will be at KoL hopefully at the very front! But there are many other acts I will be stalking too
Tolerance aside, MTV mostly makes me cry... experimental is understandable, but what's the deal with Pop n the company it keeps...
BTW, you rockin 40 n 50 year olds really need to be teaching the world a few lessons.
Richard Dawkins, r u real? Man reading your posts punch holes into my reality.. ahhahaha.. dude it'd really be a pleasure to toast u a drink or corn or whatever.
MTV is awful, hell they've even dropped the word music from their graphic.
As for teaching the world some lessons - My third grader was doing an about me project at the beginning of the school year. He was asked what his favorite music is and he wrote The Ramones Stevie Wonder Vampire Weekend
