I know most people don't. But I've noticed a lot of people enjoy bashing on music because It's either "too old" or "too new".

I couldn't care less about the age myself. I used to. Back when I was a 13 year old Led Zeppelin fanboy (I'm 15 now).

Nope. The only thing I care about is whether it's good or not.

I don't care how old the music is. A lot of the older stuff is great.

No. But there is a distinct decline in musical ability and creativity for me but thats just my opinion.

Of course I don't. People who do must listen to music for reasons other than how it sounds, which is ******* stupid.

No not really. Though most of the stuff I listen to seems to be from 2000/99. That was when I was a senior in high school and that music at that time frame sticks with you.

Fair point. But i must say, i think the newest thing i have on my walkman is a year old. All mediums of culture are getting worse and worse in my generation imo. The only thing thats still good to me is South Park. Rush have an album out this year though so i'm hopeful.

No but I do put in more effort in finding newer bands and acts so I can go to shows. A lot of my favourite bands have been long broken up.

Well I would falcon punch (jk) someone if they had a cookie cutter taste in music, ex: only listens to indie, oldies, or new stuff, and disregard whether is good or not. I prefer listening to certain songs from any genre, and era, just as long as is good Im not bound to any category for the most part just more fond with some genres than others.

I'm going to say I don't care, but the majority of my library is music from this decade. The 80's and 90's classics I listen to on the radio.

I tend to stick to bands that are relatively new, not because I'm a hipster, but I think it's easier to get my head around them. With a band like U2, I like them okay, but it's intimidating when they have around 10 albums. Feels like I've already missed that train.

That song is dated. Not that it matters. It'll be 20 years old soon. And I'll be listening to it 'till the day I die. By then the song'll be played in am radio :lol:

No not at all. I just wish I would have found out about certain bands sooner than I did (Blind Guardian, Falconer, Wuthering Heights, and Tyr to name a few). :P

Today I listened to Barbra Streisand, Fleetwood Mac, and Billy Joel. Then I moved on to Ellie Goulding and Lady Gaga. I love music from various eras.

Very, very good albums. Train of Thought is my favorite album from any artist ever. I'd also recommend Octavarium, Scenes From a Memory and Six Degrees of inner Turbulence

Not really, no. Though I do like to know the age of the piece, just to have better grips of the work and its context.

It needed time to grow on me too. But it really is well worth it I reckon. This Dying Soul is often reffered to as "The Weakest song on the album" by critics. But It's my favorite song of all time. So much one might miss on first listen.

Hell no. Anyone who does probably needs to actually start listening to the music itself.

People who only stick to one timeframe or one genre are either A) pretty casual music listeners, or B) close-minded music listeners.

I once heard some kid ridicule another kid for listening to some song that was like a year old. I guess it's only cool to listen to the current garbage.

I really like Billie Holiday music. and music from the 50's, 60's, and even the 40's.

for the most part i don't like the 00's, or recent music lately.

so obviously no.
