Azure Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 you know how "the elderly" listen to "oldies" well when we're part of the "elderly" will we be listening to metal emo, punk or whatever else comes out in our generation?? Quote
experimental lover Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 My high school Biology/Advance Pre-Medical Studies teacher grew up in the Stone Age (most of you will take this in the wrong way). She listens to Queen, etc etc. Does that answer your question? By the way, I can already tell you are someone who understands nothing about music as you only stated 'emo' 'punk' and 'metal' as your examples... Quote
Matthias Drake Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 No, because everyone listens to music older than they are. I listen to stuff fromt he seventies, as does jsut about everyone I know. I wasn't alive for the seventies. I wasn't even alive for the eighties. Hell, I'm too young to remember the first half of the nineties. The real question is: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four? Quote
experimental lover Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 It is still considered this time's music. That, and just because you listen to stuff from the 80s doesn't mean many people do. Most kids nowadays listen to pop culture music. Quote
Guest Rara-chan Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 o: I'm going to be the rockin-est Grannie on the block. Quote
Kido Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I have a younger brother in this generation coming up, and I know one thing. Everyone need to find a way to take care of yourself, savings, investments, pension, whatever, because these thundercats aren't going to lift a finger. lol But I'll be the grandpa still listening to his mp3's of Metallica, Linkin Park, and Depeche Mode.

Azure Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 The real question is: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four? haha i listen to the beatles so i know some classics but i admit that i'm not an expert on music, but it was just an interesting thought. I didn't rule out that we won't be listening to classics from the 60's 70's 80's 90's....but just that the "new age" music will be the oldies and 'emo' 'punk' and 'metal' were just some examples.

Guest Sweet Neodaddy Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I refuse to listen to emo. The real question here is, will we still be pimping? Quote
Kido Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 At what age do you go from pimp to that old fool in the club? Because you sure do see a lot of them. Quote
Prophet Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I think it's around 55. My question is...When do you guys think these old rockers will actually have their LAST Farewell tour? I love the old rock as much as anybody else man but watching the Rolling Stones perform live ain't what it used to be. My dad agrees and he used to absolutely love those guys. Quote
Guest Sweet Neodaddy Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Hey, just because Mick Jagger weighs all of 10 pounds and because Keith Richards looks like the Wicked Witch of the West does not make the Rolling Stones any less entertaining. Quote
Cloudnine Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Mick's arm flab. That had me cracking up during the entire Superbowl halftime show. XDD EDIT: Maybe I should say something on topic. I guess talking about arm flab isn't enough. XDDDD When I'm old, I know I'll still be clinging onto my music. I can't understand how they'd turn to 'oldies' -shudders- Kinda scary when everything gets painted over with age. T.T And my parents call my music 'teenage music'. >.> Edited April 11, 2006 by Shirahime Quote
Prophet Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I didn't say he wasn't interesting anymore (and by interesting I mean hilairious), I said it ain't what it used to be. And yeah....Soil being geezer tunes? *shudders uncontrollably* Quote
Guest Sweet Neodaddy Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I will laugh when NIN's "Closer" becomes an "oldie" Quote
Matthias Drake Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I will laugh when NIN's "Closer" becomes an "oldie" I would love that. What would be great would be if Mindless Self Indulgence became an oldies band. The moment any of them realized it, they'd all kill themselves, though. Quote
Guest Ichi-kun Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Your never too old to pimp, also I think Ill be listening to rock all my life even when im like 70. Quote
Guest Sweet Neodaddy Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) It is highly likely that when I am 70, I will play Tool's "Prison Smex" whenever my grandchildren have their friends over. Hello, mental scarring. Edited April 11, 2006 by Sweet Neodaddy Quote
Kiyoshi Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 lol this makes me wonder.... at age 60...will I still be dressing and listening to visual kei/j-rock... malice mizer, PLC, dir en grey...and other influential bands like them... XD If I did, would i look like a gay grandpa? XD noooooooooooooooooooo Quote
Matthias Drake Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 It is highly likely that when I am 70, I will play Tool's "Prison Smex" whenever my grandchildren have their friends over.Hello, mental scarring. Perhaps, but my grandchildren's favorite nursery rhyme will be "London Bridge"... By MSI. Quote
Jake Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 The only music I will consistantly always listen to is country, rock has so many faces it's insane, but I suppose we will listen to the music that we have when we were younger, just probably less loud because old people don't seem to like alot of noise and alot of music today is just noise.

lameunisgood4u Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 When Shira's 80 she'll probably be playing DDR... Quote
Guest Ichi-kun Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Lol, If I tried to play ddr after the age of 60, I would deserve to break my hip lol. Quote
Cloudnine Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 The way Shira's living/planned her life out, I doubt that she'll be living to 80. =D Quote
shizuki Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 If she is doing DDR at that age, she'll have 5 replacement surgeries on her hips. She'll have robo-hips, and that's the only way she'll still be gettin' her gramma groove on. Quote
