Is it weird that I like old music?

Question

in 16 and I listen to all kinds of music, but it s usually old, I think music these days sounds all the same and don t really like it. I listen to a lot, artists like Jimi Hendrix, BB King, James Brown, Bob Marley, Status Quo, Dolly Parton, Muddy Waters. And I love blues. Is it weird?

Answer 1

Nah! That ain't weird at all. Ya like what ya like. I'm only thirty-six, and I enjoy all that sort of thing as well, 'cos that was the kind of music my mum and dad listened to all the time, when I was growing up, due to the fact that they're that generation. You and I've basically got more or less the same musical tastes. If you're into Fifties and Sixties music, then may I suggest some bands and singers for you to have a listen to? Here we go! From the Fifties, have a listen to Marty Wilde and The Wildcats, Dion and The Belmonts, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, The Platters, Cliff Richard, and Buddy Holly and The Crickets. From the Sixties, have a listen to The Nashville Teens- (their best song, in my opinion's definitely 'Tobacco Road'), The Searchers, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Tremeloes, The Small Faces, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, The Kinks, The Animals, The Dave Clark Five- ('Glad All Over', 'Bits and Pieces', and 'Catch Us If You Can'), Cliff Bennett and The Rebel-rousers, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Spencer Davis Group, Billy Fury, Edwin Starr, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, The Troggs, Freddie and The Dreamers, Joe Brown and The Bruvvers, The Beegees, The Righteous Brothers, The Who, Roy Orbison, The Walker Brothers, The Move, Brenda Lee, John Fred and his Playboy Band, The Beatles and Manfred Mann- (I could go on and on! The list's too bloody long!) Also, have a listen to my favourite wireless-station: http://www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/ Click "Listen." I don't think you'll be disappointed. They play all the music that you and I love. I think you'll really enjoy listening to it. Peace and love. Be lucky.

Answer 2

Try some Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Beatles, Cream, Bread, Eagles, CCR [Creedence Clearwater Revival], Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, and countless more, the list is seemingly endless. I always loved the protest music as it had a lot to say about what was wrong and funny enough is still mostly relevant like John McCutcheon, he has been around for a long long time but even has some very recent music. And if you wanna try something just a little bit wild check out Kenny Rogers' first band 'The First Edition', those psychedelic 60's and 70's had some of the coolest sounds that you just don't hear otherwise, like Jefferson Airplane [check out 'white rabbit'] or The Doors.

There is so much astounding music out there that most will never hear because they make gross assumptions about it [like 'newer is better' or 'old is stupid/worse' which is a non sequitur {has no real connection}].

Experience all those sounds and lyrics that you would otherwise never hear.

Answer 5

There is good stuff too in the corners...The problem is that many people do not now where or how to access to those sonic universes...

It's original to have those tastes at only 16, i must say that you do not act like a sheep, who never look at the horizon.I'm 34 and i'm pretty much into a lot of music since i'm around 9-10 ...my cursor can't hardly go before 1965 though... with some exceptions... The Byrds are one of my fave, but there's plenty others... The 70s are probably my fave era, it was so diverse and adventurous I am only 17. Lol, I listen to stuff even before my mum's generation. And my mum plays a lot of her old cassettes and Vinyls from the 80s and 90s so I grew up on that type of music mainly.

Answer 6

They've heard a few thing but in general, not much. You have come to realise that there is a great wealth of great music from those times. I only ' discovered ' the Beatles in 1981 after Lennon died and went through a Beatles and Hendrix phase in the 80's when I listened to almost nothing but those. I now listen to a lot more but the Beatles are still one of my favorites. I also love the Small Faces, the Pretty Things, (early) Pink Floyd, U2, the Seekers and a lot more.

Answer 7

IT IS NOT WEIRD AT ALL. It's a lot better than listening to some crap today (no offense, but probably some taken by someone out there- oh gee, shoot me a dislike). I'm 16 and I listen to music from the 40s 50s 60s 70s and 80s. Do I find a lot of people that like the same things I do? Yes, but they are old. Do people understand my tastes? Ummm...can't say that they do...oh well...whadaya gonna do when you're a minority? Answer: bask in your minorityness and be proud you don't spend your days listening to Fetty Wap & 2 Chainz (I googled that, so don't say I haven't done my research) So yeah, listen to that first comment that lists a bunch of 50s and 60s artists, knows what he/she is talking about. Put some Beach Boys in your life, add some Billy Joel and Monkees. Why not some Frankie Valli and Frank Sinatra? I guess I shouldn't stereotype modern music.....but I guess I sort of am....oh whoops. sue me. HAVE A GREAT DAY (or don't, you could have a horrible day) I'm not a pessimist. :)

Answer 9

Nope, my youngest Son does also. It may not be entirely common, but it is certainly NOT WEIRD, it just means you found the good stuff making you just that little bit smarter than the others that didn't [welcome to the evolutionary ladder, it's your way out of the machine]!

Try some Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Beatles, Cream, Bread, Eagles, CCR [Creedence Clearwater Revival], Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, and countless more, the list is seemingly endless.

Answer 10

No. It's not weird. Most teens have not heard most of the music of the 60's and 70's. They've heard a few thing but in general, not much. You have come to realise that there is a great wealth of great music from those times. I only ' discovered ' the Beatles in 1981 after Lennon died and went through a Beatles and Hendrix phase in the 80's when I listened to almost nothing but those. I now listen to a lot more but the Beatles are still one of my favorites.

I also love the Small Faces, the Pretty Things, (early) Pink Floyd, U2, the Seekers and a lot more.



If I have one piece of advice (for anyone who likes folk) it would be to listen to a few tracks by the Seekers. You will hear a singer who was probably the best female vocalist in the WORLD. Great music is often an emotional experience and The Seekers are/were certainly that.



Not ALL modern music is trash. There are a few gems. I would say that 'Bad Romance' is in all honesty one of the greatest pop songs ever written. But I would say the majority of it IS. Rap is a form of poetry (poetry to just a beat) but I would not strictly call it 'music'. 'Music' has some degree of melody and chord structure. The people who keep trying to advise you to listen to modern garbage are themselves brainwashed by the unfortunate culture that we live in.

Answer 11

Absolutely not! I have grown up loving old music, and I'm only currently in my early 20s, I still prefer to listen to music between the 40s and the 50s, as well as ancient baroque, orchestrals and classical/romantic music. I am not considered weird at all by anyone, only weird people say that others are weird for liking an older generation of music.



Another thing to mention is that current music would be nothing if it were not for older music, many popular genres arose from the inspiration of older genres.

Answer 12

I'm 17 I like old music blues is absolutely one of my favorite genres. It's not weird at all people may think it is but each person can only like what they like. I agree that most of the new music sounds repetitive but there are a few that changes up. They thought I was weird because I listen to everything from Jazz to Metal and have over 700 albums on my iPod.

Answer 13

I loathe new music I loathe new music.. Though perhaps because my mom heard older music (for the 80s, we are both inside Big Hair Bands) to look at was little and even even today. Though I don't find out where my love designed for music that mimics Aerosmith's 1973 album started. I think it's exactly that each person gets this liking to a certain type of favorite songs, and my type typically older music. I also for instance the sound of it. Music more recently has this new sound to barefoot running. Like it's too fresh without having it dirty enough. Maybe oahu is the frequency at which you'll find it played.



I'm not for sure, but I will normally favor older music throughout newer music, unless a band hits theaters that mimics older favorite songs, then I would take love probability.

Answer 14

Even if a big majority of the music today is made for plastic (young) people... There is good stuff too in the corners...The problem is that many people do not now where or how to access to those sonic universes...

I 've got my own youtube channel since 2006 with diverse musical playlists... "Best of 1971"(NoBigHits!) ,"Best of 1977"(NoBigHits!) ,"Best of 2010s Alternative Music videos" , and many more from different years and era (for those patient n curious enough)

Answer 16

It's not weird AT ALL. All I listen to is old-skool music. I am only 17. Lol, I listen to stuff even before my mum's generation. And my mum plays a lot of her old cassettes and Vinyls from the 80s and 90s so I grew up on that type of music mainly.



Music nowadays all sounds the same to me. There is no flare or diversity in mainstream music today. Not like it was 20 years ago.

Answer 17

This is by no means weird! I do the same, I just think old music is a lot better than the current music, and I like to think about the good old times, so I listen to old music, and I like it, thank god I'm not the only one.

Answer 18

No! There is nothing wrong with that! I'm 13 and I listen to older music too. The Beatles, The Who, Electric Light Orchestra, and Ray Peterson are just a few of the artists I listen too. People tell me all the time how weird I am just because I don't listen to Ariana Grande or that stupid whip/nae nae song. Today's mainstream music is utter crap these days. There are a few decent artists that are mainstream that aren't terrible: Imagine Dragons, Fun., X Ambassadors, Coldplay, etc. But their slowly fading out. My point is, don't worry about what other people think. It's nice knowing there are other people my age that don't think listening to a song thats older is crazy. You know that I'm the only black person at my school that loves rock and metal and hates rap and hip-hop. People automatically stereotype that all black people LOVE rap and hip-hop, when in reality I hate them. People stereotype that all teenagers listen to current mainstream music, but that's not true either.



:)

Answer 19

music is ageless all recordings in it's none time specified world. It doesn't matter your 16 now listening to a recording that can be made any time making it as excitant to life. like all the rest of documentations that are made also it a type of studying to listening to old music just remind what has been done to look on it fine for all people liking old music. The music we have now has developed from old music so still listening is a chance to learn how people that the old music was made for as well of finding new lyrics for the next trend of music. doesn't matter how resent the music got made. It is not weird liking old music.

Answer 20

Not at all . "Good" music is subjective. But, the tastes you prefer as previously said are the roots of rock and roll music. It's like being a DOS baby in a Windows world. If your Windows go down, you have to know how to run DOS to make the computer work. (just an example) You seem to prefer music when notes were more distinct. The guitarist would "hang a note". Solos in a bridge that aren't trampled on by a mish mash of jumbled and indistinct music. I personally just believe you have better taste, and are too intelligent to be taken in by the mess some call music today....(LOL) Not that the older music was simpler by any means. Most preference in music seems to go back to a basic of primal beat. You hear something in there that you can relate to personally. IMHO

Answer 21

No not one bit. You're perfectly normal. I also love old music rather than this generation of music excluding some of the good ones (Muse etc) But we all like what we like and don't let others put you down or bully you because you like the older stuff. In my opinion older music is the best anything from 60s to 90s and even 2000s are one of the greatest.





Plus maybe you feel like older music has more meaning? and a deeper connection than music now? Lyrically wise. There's a big difference of nowadays mainstream lyrics to the older ones.



Don't be ashamed to like or dislike anything, you are you :)

Answer 22

No! There is nothing wrong with that! I'm 13 and I listen to older music too. The Beatles, The Who, Electric Light Orchestra, and Ray Peterson are just a few of the artists I listen too. People tell me all the time how weird I am just because I don't listen to Ariana Grande or that stupid whip/nae nae song. Today's mainstream music is utter crap these days.

People automatically stereotype that all black people LOVE rap and hip-hop, when in reality I hate them. People stereotype that all teenagers listen to current mainstream music, but that's not true either.

Answer 23

no, it is not unusual at all to like good music and to not like bad music. It doesn't matter whether the music was made in the 1930's or whether the music was made in 2015. When I was a kid growing up in the 1970's I listened to the rock that everyone else was listening to, but I was also listening to my parents records music that was made in the 40's, 50's and 60's. It was great stuff. I sat there and jammed to my dad's early Jazz records for hours and hours when I came home from school. He had great stuff. Jazz Blues, Rock. There's great music from every era, and there's music from every era that stinks. If you like Blues make sure you check out Robert Johnson, Keb Mo, Robert Cray, Led Zeppelin, Leadbelly, I don't know blues that well, but they make these large books which have titles of Jazz, Blues, Rock recordings, etc. I keep a few by my desk which list jazz titles.

Answer 24

Though perhaps because my mom heard older music (for the 80s, we are both inside Big Hair Bands) to look at was little and even even today. Though I don't find out where my love designed for music that mimics Aerosmith's 1973 album started.

Music more recently has this new sound to barefoot running. Like it's too fresh without having it dirty enough. Maybe oahu is the frequency at which you'll find it played.

Answer 25

Music is something that is supposed to be enjoyed by all people no matter what race, color age, etc. when I was growing up, I was a big rap fan. At night sitting in a car with my mother, slow jams or smooth jazz would come on and she would always tell me " you can't listen to that hard stuff all the time. Sometimes you want something laid back to listen to".I was 16 then, I'm 30 now. I still live by that. Nothing wrong with you enjoying older music. When you get into corporate world, you're gonna need that music you listen to on your ride home from those rough days at work. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Answer 26

Why do you care what I think? I love old music = like from the 18th century. and new music - that I just thought up. Do I care what you think about that? Nope, no one who is mature has any value judgement to make about what kind of people listen to what kind of music. Teenagers tend to be very mean, exclusive and judgmental, so don't let it bother you.

Music is personal. It is a voice you hear in your head. It is magical. Whatever you like, listen to it a lot and don't censor yourself.

I especially love old folk music -like french and hungarian - that is turned into piano concertos by geniuses. I also love Zydeco music and ragtime- fun and wild. I can even stand some hip hop and rap - although most of it is too violent or angry to enjoy. I love opera and kid's songs, and anything on a piano.

I am 65 years old and love music.

Answer 27

No, it's not weird at all.

At your age, I listened to every one of the artists you named. Still do, in fact.



I was - and still am - into every kind of music you can think of: Pop, rock, alternative, blues, classical, dance, folk, easy listening, electronic, rap & hiphop, indie, gospel, jazz, Latin, new age, soul, funk, reggae, World music, and more.



But for me, it was a harder because when I was 16 it was the 1980s and we didn't have the internet and iTunes and Youtube and internet radio stations and all that fun stuff you kids nowadays take for granted.

We had tapes and records, and had to buy them at actual music stores.



If I heard something I liked, I've never cared what genre of music it is or what decade it's from.

And I'd spend the money to buy a cassette or album even if the store had to special order it for me.



To me, limiting yourself to just one era or type of music is like going through life wearing a blindfold.

You miss out on a lot, so I sincerely hope you keep exploring music and enjoying all it has to offer.

Answer 28

There's nothing weird about that! I like old music too! Actually, most of the kids in my school listen to 60s and 50s music. And yea I agree with u on today's music. It's basically the same crap over and over again. Hope I helped!

Answer 29

No not one bit. You're perfectly normal. I also love old music rather than this generation of music excluding some of the good ones (Muse etc) But we all like what we like and don't let others put you down or bully you because you like the older stuff. In my opinion older music is the best anything from 60s to 90s and even 2000s are one of the greatest.

Plus maybe you feel like older music has more meaning? and a deeper connection than music now? Lyrically wise. There's a big difference of nowadays mainstream lyrics to the older ones.



Don't be ashamed to like or dislike anything, you are you :)

Answer 30

Weird? In my books you're perfectly normal! These are all great bands! The Blues are great you've got a great music taste! Here are some other iconic blue players you could check out:



-Robert Johnson



-Albert King



-T. Bone Walker



-Howlin' Wolf (I know, weird name)



-Stevie Ray Vanghan



-Johnny Winter



-Buddy Guy



-Eric Clapton



Just some blues players I like, my all time favourite band however is Queen. Not really blues themed but still good. Keep listening to the music you like! :)

Answer 31

Not at all. I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 21. We listen to mostly classic rock and jazz. I was born to young parents and listened to what my mom listened to. Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, the Beatles. These are things I discovered on my own around elementary school. People develop there own taste as they get older and it seems to me that you have an ear for great music. Besides today's music only talks about sex and drugs. You just happened to be one of the few teens who doesn't like that kind of music and that's great for you. Don't let your friends or peers make you feel weird for liking some of the classics. As you get older you'll meet people who appreciates your taste in music and you will be cool to them.

Answer 32

It's probably because music back in the day was much more meaningful than music today. There was real musicians playing real instruments, not none of these machines that imitate real instruments. Real singers who could actually sing, not someone with an image and an auto-tuned voice. Lyrics that were deep and made sense, not overly graphic or vulgar and just plain silly. It seems today that all you need is a you tube channel and enough followers and you too can be a star, no real talent required.

Answer 33

No, not at all. We all find our tastes and my oldest daughter is in her early 20s. She likes the music of the Big Band Era (1940s, WWII, etc). That would have been the music of my parent's era. Yet, I like the blues music of the early 20th century, but when I was younger, I thought it all "old stuff". Interesting how your tastes ripen. You might also like the folk music of the 1960s and 1970s (Bob Dylan, Kingston Trio, Gordon Lightfoot, Pete Seeger, etc). It is a window into a time and set of circumstances many today do not really appreciate. Anyway, I say enjoy what you like, good music is good music whether it was produced yesterday or 100 years ago.

Answer 34

Absolutely not!



There's tonnes of varieties regarding people's tastes in music and all of that nice stuffs.

We're all different, i'm sure we've all heard that a billion times, but I have to agree with your opinion on liking old music and disliking new releases. It's all so nice and classic.

There's certainly nothing wrong with having a preference whatsoever.



Never feel ashamed or insecure about your own tastes :)

Answer 35

No, I don't think so. By 'old' music I presume that you mean modern music that has been around for a while. Having been around for a while it must have some talent just to have survived the usual short lifespan of being considered just another pile of ****.

Perhaps some of this tripe may actually have some odd form of merit after all. Perhaps the fact that it is referred to as music must indicate a reasonably pleasant experience whilst listening to it, for some of the sounds produced by up to date groups indicate no linkage of any kind to musical awareness, and would be very appropriate to a sound track of some poor sod being hung, drawn, and quartered.

Perhaps they should be.

Answer 36

You are weird to the mainstream stereotypical people your age. Not to anyone who loves real music. I am way older than you and I still get teased for liking older genres of music. Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Miles, Nate King Cole etc. Most of my real friends are at the least 10 years older than me. I rarely hang out with anyone my age. I can only listen to the mainstream radio stations for maybe 2 songs without getting a headache.



Embrace every aspect of your personality. The real question is even though you like this "old Music" Do you REALLY understand the meanings of the lyrics? They will come to you one day, in time, while listening and you will be in awe all over again at these beautiful songs.

Answer 37

My favorites are Franz Lizst, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Tom Waits, Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, Phoebe Snow, Spike Jones and Charles Mingus. I also like The Beatles, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, Al King, Little Willie John, The B52s, Squirrel Nut Zippers and many other artists who don't sample others' music. I've written a bit myself.



Whatever makes you feel good is alright.

Answer 38

Of course it's not weird. I'm a similar age to you myself and I enjoy older music - dating back to even the 40's/50's. I'm not particularly a fan on the music of today either. There are to many electronic dance tunes on the charts that all follow a the same kind of tune. 'Pop' music is storming the charts and there is not much music of different genre's in the Top 40 which is kind of depressing. It's also terribly overplayed. I like to listen to The Beatles a lot. Sometimes bands that are modern but have an older touch to their music like the Arctic Monkeys.

Answer 39

Most people like old music and current music. Not weird at all

Answer 40

It is not weird. Everyone has its own music taste. Sometimes when you listen to new songs repeatedly, then after a few days you are getting irritated from that song. The human mind is finding new things always so it doesn't differ you from others to hear the old songs. Even I like old songs as well. I have always thought of what kind of songs listened by the age of my grandparents people.

Answer 41

Why do you think "Old Music" was as popular as it was in their era? Because good music reaches over eras.



Is it weird to listen to old music? Absolutely not. I myself like Big Band, Sinatra, Jazz, rock from all times, country, classical, dubstep, some hip hop even. I'm no more weird for it than you are. Keep on listening to what you enjoy man. Don't let peer negativity slow you down. :)

Answer 42

Just means you have good taste in music. I am a 64yo grandmother and grew up with those same artists. I still listen to them and in addition, there are artists from the 20s, 30s, 50s, 80s, 90s to current that I enjoy; all genres. It is better to have an eclectic range than to narrow yourself. Try listening to some early blues singers like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. Have fun on your musical path.

Answer 43

Totally no weird.. I'm 16 and ll love Nat King Cole and Simon and Garfunkel and all those other greats. So no its not weird if music is good then we should listen to it, it doesn't matter the time area. Music is still music

Answer 44

Absolutely not. I think it's the changing nature of human evolution why we like certain music depending in what era we have gown up in. I think we are also in a unique position as to compare the different eras to one another to make a more informed choice on to what we like to listen to. We are still in the early phases of a musical evolution, exploring new areas of music. Now more than ever music on it's own isn't the only component what makes music; it's the image, the feelings, the motives, the trends, the geographical location, the culture, the language and all these factors are converging with with a more connected world through the internet, the ease of which corporations can make music accessible internationally. The music industry also seems to be also creating a certain "standard" which is focused on how to make the most money- in fact a carefully structured formula crafted to ensure stakeholders the maximum amount of money they can squeeze out of you.



I think it's refreshing to hear thoughts like yours that you prefer the old over the new. If you were on the other side of music, basically making music rather than consuming it, I would have loved to listen to your spin you put on your own music with the old as inspiration to your sound.



Rock on.

Answer 45

Absolutely not.

I listen to and enjoy basically all music genres, but there is something about old music that I absolutely love. As far as old music goes, I have always been particularly drawn to the big band/swing era for as long as I can remember. I also love classic rock (that's probably thanks to my dad), and as far as country goes, well, I really hate most of the new style stuff *cough*itsbasicallytownie/cityslickermusicnow*cough* but I love the old stuff.

There's just something about that old sound and that history and all the added emotions of a time long gone that just seems to somehow make the music so much more.



I should actually maybe revise my answer. Yes, to a lot of people, your taste in music will seem strange. But, as a wise man once said, "It's a good thing to be strange. Normalness leads to sadness."

Don't let all the boring, normal people put you off. You don't have to be a pompous jerk to them because their music taste isn't as fantastic as yours, but just enjoy your music. It's lovely to share in the enjoyment of art with others, but ultimately, the experience you have with art and music is yours and yours alone.



P.s. There are some amazing current artists/bands out there. You just have to look for them. The music playing on the radio station is just a tiny amount of "music" that's out there right now, and if you completely write off "modern music" according to that junk that's being pumped out on the radio, you will miss a lot of brilliant artists.

Answer 46

Tbh, music is like a key to the soul, hence you have an old soul and that's not bad in my book.



Btw I'm 15 and I love 70s/80s and some 90s but that's because I wad raised on goldie oldies etc.

Answer 47

I think it's fine, I'm twenty six years old; and I like REM, Joe South, Miles Davis, Tears For Fears, Smashing Pumpkins, Bobby Darin, Breaking Benjamin, Elvis Presley, Joy Formidable, Leadbelly, Cage The Elephant, Louis Armstrong, Soundgarden, Cure, Dean Martin, Blind Mellon, Alice In Chains, Poets of The Fall, and Nirvana.



That's just a few of the singers, bands, and musicians I like.

Answer 48

Not weird. You are at an age when you develop your own likes and dislikes, no matter what the 'chart toppers' of the moment are. When I was a teen, the 'American Graffiti' and 'Happy Days' crazes were going strong, so I mostly listened to '50s rock. Did not care for any 'modern' music of the time, such as Elton John or Olivia Newton John. It's no big deal.

Answer 49

Going down the right path from the list I just viewed. Here's a few more good bands for you red hot chili peppers, acdc, Johnny Cash. The bands that you and I have listed realied on their own talent, to make their music. Writing their own lyrics. Now music is made cheap, it is all about image and how cool you look, instead of how you sound. If attracts a wide range of audience easily and quickly. Due to repetitive cycle of boy bands and girl band's through shows such as x factor, new talent is becoming harder to find, since there is so much rubbish music.

Answer 50

Not weird at all. It's great that you appreciate this genre of music in fact. I'm also a teenager and I listen to mainly pop and rock-pop... But also some oldies. Like Stevie Wonder or Billy Joel... And even some musical numbers. Yes, these songs are part of my 'Oldies/Guilty Pleasures' playlist on Spotify, but I did make this playlist public and I am not afraid to show it to others. My conclusion: Not all teenagers listen to mainstream music. Love you and your music!

Answer 51

Well are you worried that you like music that most of your friends dont like, or based on this question, I am guessing classmates? What is weird? Why is it weird to listen to music that the general crowd doesnt listen to? Just becuase your tastes are different (ie you like old music, or you like Icelandic music, or you like Natice American music, or you like White Noise musc) doesnt make it weird. It is just part of your personality. You should not be affraid to be different in some respects (or all for that matter) of your personality. Wouldnt life be boring if everyone was identical!!??

Answer 52

You have great taste. Round out your genres with Early 60's and Late 50's

rockers. Pick up a listen to Dave Brubeck and the recording (Take Five).

Broadening ones music interest is a great thing. I go from Pavarotti to

Joplin. Depends on the mood. And I am 74.

Answer 53

No it's not weird to like old music. It's just you taste of music you like. Old music sounds good compared to today's music.

Answer 54

Not weird at all. You are allowed to like whatever music you want to like. Music is there to be enjoyed, some of the best songs are older songs. You do you and don't let anyone tell you different.

Answer 55

I like classical music of 70s, yet I'm a 80s person. I listen old music which makes me peaceful and enjoyable. I don't like some new music too, hard to understand and not pleasing to my ear.

It's not wired, though some friends would say why do you like such old music.

Answer 56

NO NO! I'm 20 years old and I listen to 90s music, Nat King Cole, The Carpenters, High School Musical, and Hannah Montana. HAHAHA! People who listens to old music has a great musical taste.

Answer 57

I am in the same realm as you are only I m quite older. I search and search for good quality music (basically you can feel it more than hear it) but it always leads me back to the 60 s and 70 s music, and yeah, some good blues and 50 s to. Believe me, my ear is open for SOMETHING new but none of it has that feel and that s a shame. Maybe the record companies will get a clue because if they don t the classic rock that you and I both gravitate towards is becoming the Mozart and Beethoven of our age.

Answer 58

Not weird at all regardless of what your peers may try to tell you. (Some teens are pretty judgmental of stuff like that). I'm 17 and I listen to all kinds of music 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's & some of today's. Classic rock is my favourite though. It all has to do with your own personal taste. You should like whatever music you want to like because honestly, who cares what people say or think!

Answer 59

In a way you are weird, since your taste is different, but it is a better taste. With better taste I mean: a lot of especially young people don't in a way really have a music taste: they just listen whatever crap media (whether radio, tv or some "suggestion" feature in Spotify) tells them to listen. You've clearly grown over this phase already, explored other genres and found your real taste. It can still evolve, and it is probably only going to go more towards forgotten old artists/bands (i.e. get "weirder").



Embrace it and self-ironically pretend to be a music snob.

Answer 60

No way, I'm only 23 and at least 60% of the music in my collection came out long before I was born. I listen to a lot from the 70's 80's

Answer 61

Nope, there's no such thing as modern music. People do it because they are bored of their lives and idiots like High School students follow the BS that this idiots invent. At the end they're all a bunch of kids trying to be unique and creative just like kindergarden students nothing has change even till you're 100 years old.

Answer 62

It's not weird, but it is interesting that you know of the old music. Some old songs are better than the modern ones.

Answer 63

Of course not!



Personally, I like Doo Wop, Pre-war Blues (before 1940), and close harmony (such as Barbershop).



If you want to make music, a cappella is a lot easier to get people for than other types because you don't need any instruments.



There is nothing more satisfying than 4 voices singing a chord and getting that fifth tone to come through when you hit it dead on!

Answer 64

No! I m a 15 year old girl and I have a record collection that ranges from the 40s to 90s. I personally enjoy old music more than current music. I recommend you checking out The Mamas and the Papas, Led Zepplin, Supertramp, and REO Speedwagon!

Answer 65

Not weird at all! I'm 14 and I love old music too.

Answer 66

I'm 12 and i listen to old music.

Jimi Hendrix

ac/dc

Dolly Parton

frank Sinatra

Led Zeppelin

i listen to more but i cant think of any right now

It's definitely not weird! The music today is complete trash anyways

Answer 67

No its not weird at all. I love hip hop and I can't Stan new school only a few artists like hopsin, dizzywright, jarrenbenton, logic, jcole, and kendrick lamar. I love oldschool like tupac, nas biggie, snoopdawg, nwa, just to name a few it's perfectly fine this new music nobody is going to remember them in 10 years from now btw I'm 15

Answer 68

I fell in love with my grandparent's Victrola which was in their basement . I still love" Barney Google With The Goo Goo Googley Eyes"

Hint. it has nothing to do with Google . Then my folks got an Edison Ambrola that I loved and I memorized music from wax cylinders. I became an ethnomusicologist . Consider doing that . Consider a life of preserving music that is not necessarily mainstream. It is a good life and you still may enjoy today's music . The more music you listen and perform, the more happy you can share.

Answer 69

Not at all. Different music has no age category to fit into. Some like classical, rock and roll, country, alternative, bluegrass, etc. but it certainly isn't wrong. A lot of "old" music had the artists composing and playing their songs and tunes. It is truly creative music. Music out of a beat box lacks the originality of the past. Besides, you can often actually understand the words! (Except for "Louis Louis")

Answer 70

Those are the roots of modern music--rock 'n' roll and r&b, which all come from jazz, originally a black music style that originated in the Midwest like Chicago, St. Louis, and New Orleans. not weird at all. Maybe a novelty, for a young man in search of identity..

Answer 71

You are free to listen to any type of music that you enjoy. I also enjoy older music, in the country, rock and pop genres. I feel that older music is more diverse and imaginative than today's music. Today's music all sounds too similar to me. Music has become big business and all the companies want to play it safe. No one wants to take a chance anymore and we end up with boring music. You go right ahead and listen to and enjoy the older music. If more people would do this, maybe the music producers would wake up and realize that we want more originality and creativity.

Answer 72

If you mean by weird you meant blessed at having someone in your life expose you to

"old " music then

YES ...and you may count yourself lucky.. at the least as having the option of hearing the older music

and having the option to choose.( ya free America)

Try some Beatles or Pink Floyd or Rush some songs with a story or message that is not Hate ...

heck you may even try the William tell overture....flight of the bumblebee most anything Bach

how about the 1812 Overture (Full with Cannons) - YouTube

Answer 73

Not at all! You live in 2015 where it's cool to listen to all kinds of different music, especially old stuff. We are fortunate to live in a time where so much good music from all different time periods exists and is easily accessible. So go ahead and indulge and listen to anything you want! Oldies are goldies and it's not weird at all.

Answer 74

No, that's not weird at all. I'm only two years older then you and I absolutely love older music, it's all I listen to. It feels like it has more meaning then the new music does.

Answer 75

Not weird at all. I wish more people your age & generation would be more opt to do the same; as I cannot stand the stuff that is made nowadays. it may be just like how my previous generation thought that the music I listened to was terrible as well, but I guess that is how the norm is in human behavior. Listen to what you enjoy, don't change because people find you weird.

Answer 76

Not at all! I have a friend who only listens to older music and has a strong opinion about it! It's perfectly fine to like the old music better - older music helped inspire newer music - plus there are downsides to some of the music now. My friend who listens to old music is super wise and mature as well. I personally like both types of music but oldies are goodies 👍🏻

Answer 77

No. Some of the best music is old. It's also good to be a well rounded person.

Answer 78

Nope I'm 19 and I love listening to old music like from 1940's and sometimes Kansas

Answer 79

Not at all I'm 19 and I listen to opera and metal and I sing opera. Don't think you're weird you're not :) embrace your uniqueness and enjoy whatever you want to listen to music is art it is freeing and liberating you may be young but you have an old soul to apriciate the more finer music :) enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you anything different <3

Answer 80

Not at all. I'm a 12 year old girl and I enjoy 80s music and rock, but old school rock; Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, Whitesnake, Warrant, the Police, Greatful Dead and a whole bunch others

Answer 81

Not Weird At All!!!! Good Music Is Good Music!!!! You Have Good Taste!!! Also, Try Listening to Johnny Lang!!! J

Answer 82

Its great!. I'm 17 and I listen to Bobby Brown, New Edition, Janet Jackson, Babyface, Whitney, and almost everybody. People tell me that i'm weird but I don't give a ****. What I like is what I like. And you are right music today do sound the same

Answer 83

It s not weird at all. I m 14 years old and I listen to music from the 1930 s. So it s totalllllyyyy fine. There s so much more people who like the same music as you, such as me.

Answer 84

Not at all! Music wouldn't be what it is today without old music. Every piece of modern music is derived from old songs and tunes, which have evolved into the sounds we hear today.



You should be proud that you like old music, as being 16 it means you are not like everyone else. You stand out from the crowd. You're special!

Answer 85

I am old ( 70 ) and I like even older music.

I love, Bach and Handel, Allegri, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Buffy St Marie, Hendrix,

Bachman Turner Overdrive, OMD and more recently Brandon Flowers and the Killers,

plus lots more.



There is nothing weird about liking good music, and what is good to us, can be

regarded as rubbish to others. It is all down to personal taste.

Answer 86

Not at all :) I'm 16 and I have loved Elvis for as long as I can remember, I also like a lot of classic rock artists, I grew up listening to that kinda stuff with my dad, others think it's kinda weird but I think its perfectly fine

Answer 87

Virtually every modern song you hear today has its roots in the blues. The blues is where it all started. You're not weird for loving old music, you're just music savvy and probably have an excellent ear.

Answer 88

No I'm 12 and I love old music

Answer 89

That isn't old music. It was mostly written in the last 40 years.



Considering most music was written more than 5 years ago, no. Your coevals are the strange ones. But you are indeed a bit of an anomaly. No ageism intended.

Answer 90

I've always been the same. When I was younger I rarely knew the new stuff that my friends were into. I'd much rather listen to madness or musical theatre.

My music tastes pretty varied now. I listen to artists from miley cyrus and sia to oldies like Connie Francis and buddy holly.

There's nothing wrong with it. It just makes you unique.

Answer 91

Absolutely not,I lysen to music like that also,there's nothing wrong with that.Everyone has a different tastes or type of music they like and its just yourself and there's nothing wrong with that.People look at me weird and say something weird when I mention I like the 50s and more.

Answer 92

It's not, I love old music too, especially 50's themes music. They get to smile no matter what's going on, it doesn't matter even if it's old or popular anymore. It's your opinion and it's what you like, so you should be proud of loving that type of music. Literally I will walk through the school hallways and students from my school bully me for liking 50's themed music, I don't care. I love it, so I'm proud of it. You should be too, I'm only 13 anyways

Answer 93

Not weird to me . I loved all that stuff as a teenager in the 1990's and I still do today . I reckon the guys you mention weren't product of some hit factory , just artistic , brilliant people . Try Janis Joplin ,Bill Withers , Mamas and Papas , and Sonny and Cher , you may like them

Answer 94

absolutely not, you have your taste that is not paste on the media wave, that is pretty cool. And your fave music is beautiful and wise. I use to listen to David Sanborn and Barbara Streisand when I was 14 (1980"s), my friends didn't understand but I just had such a great time with those music, I still listen to them. Then I also loved Madonna, Aha, The Cure, Public Enemy, Red Hot Chili Peppers and… Beck.

Answer 95

Not at all! I'm the same age and I love Hendrix and muddy waters! I'm glad to see someone with good music taste. Most people at 16 are still discovering what taste of music they're into so if your friends don't like your taste they could soon change their minds.

Answer 96

I'm not as young as you but I'm 21 and love classical music... Which is like super old 1800s ... I also like music 1970s-1980s

Answer 97

No this isn't weird. I was born in 1982. I listened to 70's and 80's music back then

Answer 98

God no! I'm 16 as well and I adore old music, 50's especially. Old music just values the things that this generation won't ever get the chance to experience.

Answer 99

It's not weird at all. You're lucky you know what real music is. "Don't Stop Believing!" "Out in the west Texas town of Elpaso I fell in love with a Mexican girl." Best music is old. Rock it!!!

Answer 100

At my school, pretty much everyonw listens to mainly 60s-90s music. It's considered weird if you ONLY listen to new stuff, if you don't listen to The Beatles, Stones, Queen, Nirvana etc. I listen to about 90% old stuff but I like some new stuff also.

Answer 101

Its never weird to like any music

Answer 102

Nope, not weird at all, I like to listen to old music from time to time as well

Answer 103

No! It's not weird... At least I hope not. I'm 14 and I listen to 40s music.

Answer 104

Not at all, I'm a teenager and I like new music and a lot of old music too such as the Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash Young and CCR

Answer 105

No! It is not weird to like old music! Everyone is different and like different kinds of music.

Answer 106

Not weird. Why is listening to quality music, like that of Bob Marley, weird? It's not. :)

Answer 107

Not at all! I love old music :3

Answer 108

Why would that be weird?! It shouldn't even matter. Actually a lot of the songs from the 60s/70s/80s' are really good. The rhythm and the tempos are really nice :D So, do not worry!

Answer 109

No!!!! I'm a 28 year old male who loves to listen to old songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. I like American Breed, The Beatles, Animal, Herman Hermits, etc. So don't feel ashamed about it!

Answer 110

no it is not weird im 15 and nothing beats dancing to some good old fashioned ancient indian tribal dances. Music sucks these days - i hate people like kanye west and mozart. music stated to so go down hill in the 1090s

Answer 111

Is it weird to like what ever you like? Forget what people think about you and do what You like to do okay!? By the way its midnight right now so I'm jaming to this song called Moon Night by O Shen. I'm not to sure if you'll listen to the right song cause a friend send me this song with there personal title on the song so yeah. You'll know when you have found the song it has a melo island rythme to it.

Answer 112

No not really in a sense because old great artists have some memorable and good music. But if your entire playlist on your phone was old then in todays society it would be seen as a bit unsuall

Answer 113

It's not weird to listen to old music and do stuff. I listen to rap music and there's nothing wrong with that.

Answer 114

No it's not weird. I'm 15 and I hate mainstream music. If anything it means you're smarter than the average person.

Answer 115

Why would you think it's weird? If you like it, go for it. It's your personal taste that makes you who you are. You shouldn't be bothered if you don't enjoy the pop music that's played on the radio. It's nice that you enjoy a variety of old classics and legends.



I love heavy rock like AC/DC and pop punk like Blink 182. it's fine to like any kind of music. Don't feel like your odd or don't fit in

Answer 116

It's not weird, you just have a broad appreciation for music, that's a good thing

Answer 117

No not at all i am 15 and i love older music!its my favorite and i just feel really good when i listen to it like i can find myself in it:) i agree music today is pretty bad but there are some artists that i really like a lot like lana del rey her music has an old feeling and the lyrics are really good + she has a beautiful voice. But dont worry thats something to admire really its kind of rare for me to find people who like that type of music i wish id meet them more often :)

Answer 118

Old music is a classic without them some good music producers would not exist.

Answer 119

Its only weird if the old music likes you back

Answer 120

NOT weird at all. There is NO law stating a person

must only like the music which is popular at any age.

Answer 121

No, it's not weird at all. I like 70's and 80's music, and I find it very normal! Today's music is trash, old musicis MUCH better.

Answer 122

There's nothing weird about it at all... besides some more underground and less mainstream modern music old stuff is usually better

Answer 123

Ain't weird at all

What is the definition of old music?

There are no such a old music.

Music is forever

Answer 124

Not in the least; I am 14, and I listen to music that is from very early 1900s, old rock, etc. Scott Joplin, Chuck Berry, the works. Listening to music from back in the day gives me the feeling that I am connected to that time period. So to answer your question, not at all. Music from the old days has soul.

Answer 125

No-your musical preferences have nothing to do with your age. I have been listening to cajun/zydeco music since I was 5 yrs old. Sure my family are from Louisiana, but I genuinely love it and put it on in the kitchen when I am cooking (especially around the holidays). I also like the music you mentioned.

Answer 126

No course not I love old music a lot are better than most of the new ones out now

Answer 127

No it is not weird. Music back then was more real as the performers wrote and performed their own music. I'd add the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Beatles to your listening library.

Answer 128

Congratulations on being a "special" 16 year old with "unique tastes". Nobody cares that you don't listen to today's pop-music. Instead of feeling smug about listening to old music, do something useful with your life. Join the army, get a PhD, do anything!

Answer 129

Embrace it. I'm 15 and listen to queen, Michael Jackson, Jeff Buckley I love the moody blues nights in white satin song. I feel old music is real than the tainted rubbish we see everyday. Does a good song need to involve twerking?

Answer 130

Not at all. Im the same. lot of the stuff they ;put out these days is meaningless shite compared to what they used to come upo with - proper music with real fell. So you are not weird you just have good musical tastes, plus you arent a sheep you dont just like somethoing because its colol yto do so

Answer 131

OF COURSE NOT!! I'm a 17 year old girl and I love the blues. I love Elvis Presley and I wish there was music out like that nowadays. I wish there were more people like you

Answer 132

It's not weird at all! I love 80s music and stuff so your not alone.

Answer 133

Some of the best music is old music

Answer 134

No, I like old music too.

I've heard that a lot of young kids are turning to the oldies because all the music of today's sucks..and I don't blame them.

Answer 135

Tons of people like old music, nothing weird about it at all.

Answer 136

I used to be that exact same way. There's nothing wrong with it in itself. Only don't be judgy on others if they like Drake, Taylor swift, 21 pilots, even Justin beiber & milry Cyrus. Not that I think that music is any good. But it can put unnecessary distance between you & your friends.

Answer 137

No it's not weird at all I'm the same I listen to old songs all the time they just have a bit more feeling and emotion in it

Answer 138

Not weird, you have more intelligence than most kids that like hearing the same 5 words over and over. There s still good music today, I m just stating that the mainstream music today is abyssmal.

Answer 139

No I like old music too

Answer 140

No- I came up listening to '80s and '90s music. When I was your age I liked some old music from the '50s-'70s. I think MOST people think most current music is garbage.

Answer 141

No not at all. I'm 16 and i love old music

Answer 142

Naw ain't nothing wrong with that lol I enjoy listening to old music too simply bc I hate most of today's music..

Answer 143

I love old music

Answer 144

It s weird in that it s unusual for someone your age, but there is nothing wrong with it. And I don t blame you; I m in my early 20s and my music tastes are pretty much confined to the 60s - 90s time frame.

Answer 145

Not at all, old music is good too. I'm 19 and I listen to some of it with my dad.

Answer 146

I was 16 in the '80s and I preferred '60s and '70s rock and country, and still do.



Most people your age tend to like only what's popular, just because everyone else likes it. Liking something different simply means that you're guided by your personal tastes, which is cool.

Answer 147

Yes, if weird is to rebel against modern music, have good taste, enjoy listening to music with actual soul, and meaning that has depth.

Answer 148

Yes, its weird because weird is something unusual and this is. But i really believe that it is the good weird because all these fucked up teenagers these days are always listening to **** *** music makes me wanna kill myself. i myself love all the old songs and im 15. led zepellin, beatles, pinkfloyd, david bowie, james brown and **** are my the music that i like. This is good music and if you like it than its cool. I dont know about about USA but this music is considered cool here and every cool person listens to this

Answer 149

I also do it, I like classical music like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, among others and I like Rock from the 70's and 80's and Heavy Metal. So it isn't rare. I listen to it since I was a child

Answer 150

it's not weird at all. Music is an expression of your individuality. No one can dictate what you like except for you. If it makes you happy turn it up and enjoy it !!

Answer 151

It's not weird, old music is the best!

Answer 152

Im 19 and I still listen to old music. Its never weird listening to old music. I still listen to Styx, Bob Marley, and various others

Answer 153

Listen to Pink Floyd, but no it s not weird, but I listen to both 60-80 s music and rap songs from today.

Answer 154

Not at all. I used to know someone who only listened to 50s and 60s music and they were my age. At the time i was 20 so 6 years ago.

Answer 155

No. I too like old songs instead of listening to hard core music of today's generation. Old songs are evergreen because they focused on good music instead of making expensive videos with cars and models.

Answer 156

No, a call in for oldies on an oldies station is a lot of younger people, they listen to their parents music and like it, and honestly there are elements to the music of the 60's. 70's. 80's that are just better.

Answer 157

No I have a love for old hard rock music

Answer 158

Most new music is god awful. Its not even music. Its a music bed that one person made, lyrics anothet person put to them, and vocals a third karaoke singer recorded (with the aid of a computer to "sound good". The music youre talking about is actual music, real lyrics and music written played and recorded by the band youre listening to.



Stick with the old stuff. Thats the good stuff. Todays is crap.

Answer 159

not at all. very few people really appreciate old music but when you get into older music most of the time people enjoy it a lot more than today's new music.

Answer 160

Nah, when I was 12 I was listening to the Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. It's pretty cool that you're interested in old music.

Answer 161

Of course not! In fact, it's good to jam out to some good old oldies music. My dad always says "music officially ended in the 1990's!". I personally disagree, but I gotta admit, oldies is DEFINITELY the best. I just asked two almost 50 year old people and they both agree. (Of course)

Answer 162

No, it's not weird at all. My 10 year old daughter loves the Beatles and Bob Marley. Our house is full of that "old" music, and we all love it!

Answer 163

I would say that many people your age are not fond of that music, so yes, it is "weird." However, it is not wrong to like it, and I am sure you will probably find at least a few others who enjoy it as much as you do.

Answer 164

I saw Muddy Waters twice and in one Concert at my University Muddy Waters, BB King, Willie Dixon and Bukka White were all there and it was the greatest concert of blues I ever saw. If music is any good it stands the test of time and the music of today that is still being played and liked in 50 years will be the music that is good. Musical taste should not be dictated by your friends or what is trendy but what you enjoy listening to. My father used to say I only have so many years to live and so many hours to spend listening to music so I want to listen to the music I love. In his case it was classical music, opera and folk music. he would also enjoy jazz and blues but very little rock. It took him years to convince him that the Beatles were good and he finally wrote said one day that they were very talented. But on e thing in common that the musicians you like is they all have soul and spirit to their music.

Answer 165

Sorry kid your not special! Or weird! Enjoy what you enjoy! I think the weirdest music you can like is probably noise music or grindcore because they are hard to listen to. But I know lots of people who do so its not weird.

Answer 166

I like listening to old music and i'm the same age a you

Answer 167

I'm 23 and I love old music. I like classic rock, heavy metal, classical, grunge, blues, ambient, some alternative rock, film scores, Americana, folk music, and classic country. All through high school and my teenage years I preferred the older stuff. I like very few modern artists, one of the very few modern artists I like is Sigur Ros.

Answer 168

It's not weird. It's just that it's different and something you've not heard of before, and it's good music.

Answer 169

No I grew up with a grandfather who was a mobster til the collapse in the 90s and always was used to the 50s-60s music like it was playing for the first time on the radio to me

Answer 170

No you are normal. Not a follower like most of the other youth.



I do have to laugh though. To me Old Music is from the 1920,30, and early 1940s.

Answer 171

It shows you have excellent taste.



I have very old fashioned tastes in music, some of it like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bqeSGpP9PI



then some of this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvrGxiKfJbY

The above was in the French hit parade when the Nazis marched into Paris much the annoyance of Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf.



Harking back to those days, this is the real star of the show back then, an American lady, who joined the French Resistance - took far too many risks right under the noses of the Nazis.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=josephine+baker+french+resistance



So, you carry on with what you like. I'm off to the Moulin Rouge in Paris - online via Youtube - great shows.

Answer 172

Maybe unusual but not weird! I too prefer old music and mostly old TV shows too.

Answer 173

No! There is nothing wrong with that! I'm 13 and I listen to older music too

Answer 174

I am 14 and I listen to: Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Ink Spots, Jerry Reed, Eddie Cochran, Bill Haley, Al Dexter , Hank Williams, Louis Jordan, etc. These are ones I can name off the top of my head.

Answer 175

A lot of kids listen to old music and they think they're the only ones

Answer 176

Weird???? Heck no! It most likely means yo have good taste! A lot of the music in nowa days is trash! I like Classical music like Beethoven & Mozart.

Answer 177

I'm in my 20s and I listen to classical music, people think I'm weird and I honestly don't care. So you're fine, besides, being weird means you're being yourself.

Answer 178

No it's not weird. Everyone has they're own music taste and it's all subjective so as long as you enjoy listening to it that's all that matters

Answer 179

Not at all. I am 30 years old and like the older stuff and I grew up on what they call music

Answer 180

No it is not at all . I like old medieval music or older so no, it is not strange.It is good to be different anyways .I am glad i like old music like this because no one cares what i listen to.They do not get mad if i like a certain artist or song like they do with modern music. Not that i like any modern music it is just that people who like new music sometimes get laughed at if they like something that is not popular or "uncool" .

Answer 181

NO, bring your friends and hurry.. Try Tedecci Trucks, The allman brothers, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, TheGrateful Dead, The Doors, CLAPTON. Like you said, any and all blues.... In music there is a frequency... It has been removed from todays radio and MUST be heard live... Go to concerts, bring your friends... Let the music take you.... See the connection that we all are.... It is very healing....

Answer 182

No. As a matter of fact I love 80s music because modern music is mostly about guys wanting to rape women.

Answer 183

Guess it's not. Im old like 50 somethin age (as in over the hill), but anyway when i was like 13 yrs. I would listen 2 my dads old albums - Jazz singers & stuff- and I still kno the words 2 lots of songs that r now iconic. Maybe we heard that stuff when we were infants when our parents were playing em........

Answer 184

no everyone has a type of music they like, like I like listening to Metal Music and people would say I am weird and some people would tell me it is devil music when it is not devil music and you like old songs that is you

Answer 185

I am 52 and love the big band era (circa 1940 s) My favorite is also the 60 s. I am a big fan also of the 1970 s

Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite.

I am glad that you consider the music you like.

Answer 186

No it is not weird. Every individual who love music has their own favorite genres and in fact, you are normal just like every others. Personally, I my favorites are Bob Marley, Bobby Caldwell, Roy Ayers, and I got a lot more to list!

Answer 187

NO, not really, since what they call music today is from deepest dark Africa's Witch Doctors. I prefer Rock n Roll. Mike

Answer 188

Anyone with taste knows that the music today sucks. The problem is people don't try to find out what really is good, they just look at the glossy packaging and buy it. People will buy anything that looks shiny and new, no matter how much it sucks.

Answer 189

That is actually really great, because it is always good to be different than the other(kids). Especially with this kind of music. And being different is always great, run from what everyone is doing. Always strive for greatness because there are not a lot of people. And they are all different from each other.

Answer 190

its not weird im 14 and i listen to old music mostly cause its better than new music

Answer 191

Not at all! I am 14 and exactly the same, old music is honestly just so much better than what you hear on the charts! Having tastes different to others is what makes you unique :)

Answer 192

I listen to old music too! It is not wierd at all. I like music that goes as far back as the 1700s even medieval music!

Answer 193

No, im 17. I prefer the older music to be honest rather than the new music. Good old Dolly, and i like Neil Sedaka.

Answer 194

And old music likes you - it is a match. How often can you say that in life.

Answer 195

No... your age shouldn't dictate what kind of music you listen to...I wish i had discovered some some of those artists when i was 16.... regardless.. I discovered em anyways... and I'm really happy that i did... changed my life.. although I'm in my late 20"s.. i still listen to elvis, led zeppelin, jimi hendrix and many more on a daily basis... I wish more of the younger generation appreciated the kinds of music that you do....

Answer 196

I'm 13 and I was thinking the same, as I'm rlly into the Beatles, queen, wheatus And loads of the other names you mentioned! I don't think it's weird - it's so much better than music nowadays anyway!

Answer 197

You're telling me. I like music from the 1600's to the late 1800's. No, it's not weird at all that you like old music.

Answer 198

no way, a lot of old music is way better than some of the **** the play on the radio these days. remember when music was just about the music and not what someone wore on stage or all this stupid celebrity gossip

Answer 199

No way! I'm 14, and I listen to old country gospel, gospel, blues, classical, rockabilly,... The list never ends! My favorite era is the 50's. The music they make now is just so awful! Keep listening!

Answer 200

Thats not old music compared to what I listen to lol. I spend most of my free time trying to find songs from the 20s.

Answer 201

No it is not at all "weird"!!!. For great music you have to listen to old music.For me it is the late 60`s and the 70`s because that is when great rock n roll started and with passion. Because if your looking for Rock n roll the 70`s has it, for the best rock(and all the genre`s it produced,like Punk,glam rock,heavy metal,,) for ,great guitar work, the late 60`s and 70`s is the best time for music.listen to "Deep purple,the Rolling stones, Slade, Nazareth,etc etc"

Answer 202

Its awesome that you like old music. The new music today, well most of it, is just noise. You can't really call the new stuff music.

Answer 203

Music is music, it is never old. Even carved wooden panpipes and drums made from hollow tree-trunks and animal skins still appeal to millions of people for the rhythms they produce, even though this type of music is as old as humanity.

Answer 204

No, just like food people can enjoy different flavors, ethnicities, and flavor palettes. It's actually a sign of a refined understanding of musical taste as art.

Answer 205

No. Old music is better. Im 19 and pretty much all I listen to anything thats not from the 21st century

Answer 206

It's normal. I listen to Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Black Sabbath etc. Remember it's YOUR taste in music. Don't fall in line with the bs they produce for today's mindless youth.

Answer 207

It s weird, but not bad. I usually listen to weird unpopular hipster things. Like music for pot heads lol. The most popular artist I like is Lorde. But I mostly like unknown artists like Matthew Young, Troye Sivan, Marina and the Diamonds, Melanie Martinez, Halsey etc..



so listen to what you like :)

Answer 208

Dude I have to say as a 14 year old status quo fan that you have great taste in music much similar to mine and in my opinion modern music is repetitive and doesn't come from the heart it is just lacking in passion. As one quo fan to another I would recommend that you listen to pink Floyd as it is similar :-)

Answer 209

It means you have good taste in music. Don't be a sheep and follow the latest trends because everybody does it. It doesn't matter what year it was created if it sounds good. You should enjoy it.

Answer 210

Omg! Thats so cool! I am the same! However, i have been getting into nightcore and stuff more lately. Nah man, there isnt anything wrong with liking old music and if anyone tells you differently. Well, ignore them, be the mature one.

Answer 287

Hell no it doesn't matter! I listen to anything from high school musical, to hip hop to rock to scream! That's the awesome thing about music, there so much diversity that your sure to find something that perfectly fits you!

Let's be honest. Music is getting sh***er and sh***er as time goes on. Likening old music is pretty much the only option we have left

No, not at all. I think it's weird that so many like the crappy modern music.

Answer 449

Your question: "Is it weird that I like old music? in 16 and I listen to all kinds of music, but it s usually old, I think music these days sounds all the same and don t really like it. I listen to a lot, artists like Jimi Hendrix, BB King, James Brown, Bob Marley, Status Quo, Dolly Parton, Muddy Waters. And I love blues. Is it weird?"



First of all, they are not or were not artists, they are or were musicians or singers.



Let's see:



weird

adjective

Suggesting something supernatural, fantastic, or bizarre.



su·per·nat·u·ral

adjective

A ttributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.



fan·tas·tic

adjective

Imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality.



bi·zarre

adjective

Very strange or unusual, especially so as to cause interest or amusement.



Apparently no, it is not weird.



The music you cite is not old. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi--that is old. There is even older music but it is not quite as interesting, at least not to me. None of it is weird, though.



This is weird music:



"VIDEO: Russia's Putin Sings 'Blueberry Hill' At Charity Dinner"

• http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/12/13/132030597/video-russia-s-putin-sings-blueberry-hill-at-charity-dinner



You can fill in your own words to the tune:



I got my thrills

by invading Ukraine

and buzzing NATO

with my bomber planes.



The evil west

will get its due

as Nikita warned,

"We will bury you!"



... and so on. Be creative.



This is even more weird:

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons..."
