>hit 30>start liking music made people who are like 22-24>feels weird cause all my life the music I liked was made by people who were older than meHow do you guys cope with this shit? It makes me feel like I shouldn't listen to it cause it's not supposed to be for me or something
>>130004238You're an egomaniac who failed to live up to the lofty expectations you set for yourself and you secretly resent kids making their music and getting positive recognition for it. I take great pride in listening to new stuff and support the youth without passive aggressive bitterness, be like me.
You are also supposed to stop giving a shit
I'm 32 and literally can only enjoy music while drunk now
>>130004238I don't listen to artists younger than me - my dreams are dead, I will NEVER support them in theirs.
>>130004238Don't worry about it grandpa, I give you permission to like it.
I listen exclusively to Willie Nelsonhe made it in his 40s
>>130004238I feel the same way about Lucy Bedroque, Fakemink and ISSBROKIE despite the smaller age gap. The recent North West single was more confronting as there's around 10 years between me and her.
>not supposed to be for meretarded way of thinking, who says music made in the 60s or 70s was "made for you" you didn't even exist
Yeah, I'm losing my edge.I'm losing my edge.The kids are coming up from behind.I'm losing my edge.I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.But I was there.I was there in 1968.I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.I'm losing my edge.I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.I'm losing my edge.To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.But I'm losing my edge.I'm losing my edge, but I was there.I was there.But I was there.I'm losing my edge.I'm losing my edge.I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.But I was there.I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."I was there.I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.I played it at CBGB's.Everybody thought I was crazy.We all know.I was there.I was there.I've never been wrong.I used to work in the record store.I had everything before anyone.I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.And they're actually really, really nice.I'm losing my edge.
>>130004366what about artists that were younger than you when they made the music? doesnt seem important that they're older now if they were 24 when they made their hit album
>>130005362what are the great sound clashes? I really like some live versions of this song where he ad libs>verse, chorus, verse chorus, psychedelic outro, CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
>>130004259me in the first part but I don't hate the kids for it, I just hate myselftruth to be told there are a lot of egregious historical figures that felt the same comparing themselves to other greats that had done more at their age there's a famous letter by one of Italy's founding fathers were he cries he's a failure because at the ripe age of 19 he has done nothing compared to Julius Caesar or something lol
>>130004238i make my own music that i feel proud of and i never feel insecure about liking music someone else made
>>130004259>You're an egomaniac who failed to live up to the lofty expectations you set for yourselfMe all day. but unlike OP I feel proud of them in a fatherly way.
>>130004238Many are saying this
>>130004259im 25 and already feel like this because i abandoned my dreams out of pure laziness (code for cowardice)music for this feel?
>>130004238I'm 31 and this 19 year old girl wants me to go to summer smash with her but I feel so fucking out place and wonder if people are going to judge me and shit.
>>130013521This attitude is exactly why you're 31 and don't have a GF. Just stop giving a fuck, it's easy
>>130004238Music is more about lived experience than the age of the musician.
