Based on your age or generation do you only listen to music from your past?

Or do you listen to modern music as well? While I just answered a question about the Mama's and the Papa's and posted my favorite song, I have that same song as a favorite by this artist:

  • I am all over the map with music, it just depends on my mood at any given moment.   Lately I've been on a Leon Russell kick, but most of the time it's UFO, Pearl Jam and other Grunge bands, Prince, and some of Govt Mule's older stuff.    I like to mix it up with some metal like old Megadeth and Testament as well.  Oh, and Camille Bazbaz.  I LOVE him.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 29, 2019 7:08 AM MST

  • I enjoy a lot of music from before I was born, I have a real fondness for 90’s music cos I was a teen then, so music was everything to me.
    I also like more modern music that I’m probably too old for :) (Niki Minaj, Sia ect.)
    I pretty much love all music genres  except modern country and classical.
    I have noticed though,  that I haven’t been enjoying the new music in past year or so. That Cardi B and Ariana Grandi can get the  Faaak right off my radio. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 29, 2019 7:08 AM MST

    No, I like music from all times.  I think the older stuff is the best.  I don't listen to music like I used to though.  I sometime enjoy silence while I read or play online.

    My playlist is full of songs from my past and hardly ever changes. Nothing recent at all.

    That's a cool video but the answer is, no, I listen to a lot of different genres of music BUT I have listened to music from when I was young and "in the market for love" more than from any other time.

    Yes.   After the late 90's, music went rapidly downhill.

  • My Dad was singer with a band and taught me to like all genres of music.  He loved Wham, Sheena Easton, Dolly Parton and Pavarotti:)  So my music is all over the place from every generation and whatever new is on the radio.  My boyfriend and I share a love for Queen ,10,000 Maniacs,Creedence Clearwater Revival. Adele, lots more.

  • My favorite genre of music is classical, so that's quite a bit older than me. But I also listen to plenty of brand new music, mostly indie and electronica.

  • i listen to a lot of mid-late 2000's rap, post hardcore rock, electropop, indie, alt hip hop (literally just odd future), a single nicki minaj album, and like one post malone song 

    so yes and no i guess

    I mostly listen to 60s/70s/80s rock. But I like a select few modern songs. Most modern music just grates on my ears.

    What is this modern music of which you speak? I am only aware of bad poetry with manic drum accompaniment.

  • I mostly like music from my generation ... 60's and 70's.  But I also like music from my parents' generation and some from my son's.  It's all about something being musical and relatable ... making me happy when I hear it.

    Mostly I listen to symphonic music, chamber music, and jazz which I hardly knew about at all growing up but learned to enjoy later.  Most of which is older music sometimes a couple of hundred years older!   Popular music I liked growing up c. 1965 through 1980 I certainly identify with but really have no need to listen to it since it was such a part of the fabric of my life back then that I know it well.  On occasion I will play a recording from that period but I own very few.  Modern popular music I sometimes hear on TV and I can recognize some of it as accomplished but really does nothing for me emotionally and much of it is offensive.  Like they are trying to trash rather than to celebrate.

    From my past...60s-80s and classical. I may be the only one on the planet who still likes disco.
