I was waiting in line at a undisclosed convenience store this evening and the guy in front of me was asking about the music playing. The clerk (who has a very eclectic taste in music I have to say) told him who it was and I did not get the reference but it was some offshoot of ‘House’ music or something. He started writing down the name of the artist or whatever and the guy in front of me said “That’s Ok, I only listen to house music’.
The guy had to be in his late 20’s to early 30’s and didn’t come off as some kind of vacant club denizen. I thought to myself what a stupid statement to make, and how the guy must have horrible taste in music. That is almost like saying “all I listen to is Cardi B. or Bananarama or whatever. I often wonder what some of these young people who listen to only say vapid pop, or rap, or bro country or a combination of either will do when they get to be middle aged? Because at least when I was growing up and maybe 13 or so I was already getting into the big progressive rock bands of the day. And a lot of that stuff had at least some roots in classical and jazz, which gave me a somewhat solid musical appreciation foundation to allow me to effortlessly move into other music genres as I grew out of it. And a lot of that stuff is still as good to this day which says a lot.
Can you imagine a bunch of 60 year olds going to a Cardi B, Brittany Spears, or Juice WRLD concert 30 years from now? It would not only be pathetic but pretty funny to see on top of that. Has anyone else here wondered the same thing or am I just being a elitist or musical snob?
