Phlegmish posted:That said, I absolutely agree that it's fine to be into music that went out of style decades ago, no matter how old or young you are. My favorite era in music history is the late seventies/early eighties, about ten years before I was born, just because I'm all about the sound and aesthetics of punk, hardcore, two tone, new wave, power pop, that sort of thing. Absolutely. For example I got into loving The Ink Spots when I played Fallout 1, and I'm sure that I'm not alone in that. Well made music will find its way into your heart if you give it a fair chance, such as watching the Fallout intro a few hundred times!

“Classic rock” (boomer music from to 60s and 70s) was huge in the late 80s/early 90s which is why I have to explain to my kids that while I am familiar with a lot of songs from people like Elton John and The Who I’m not a fan. I just couldn’t avoid hearing them when I was a kid.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:That’s Oldies now. Classic Rock has become Nirvana and Metallica and Bon Jovi and poo poo. I grew up listening to my parents' music - 1960s music. I had a moment when I had the realization that top 40 radio I remember from elementary and middle school - cuts from Jagged Little Pill, Eurodance like Another Night or Wanna Be My Lover - are now as old as the "oldies" I was listening to as a kid in the '90s. There is a lot of really overplayed stuff from the 'classic rock' era: Hotel California is a classic example but I'd also peg stuff like Bohemian Rhapsody, Sister Golden Hair, Layla, etc. I don't blame younger people for being sick of that stuff at all; I'm sick of a lot of it and I tend to dig 'classic rock'.

Incidentally, Reelin In the Years is one of the few Steely Dan songs I like. Thoroughly loving sick of Do It Again, though (another example of a way overplayed song).

One of the first things I did when I got Napster in like 1999 or 2000 or whatever the gently caress was start downloading music from bands I was sort of vaguely aware of but curious about, like The Beatles and Pink Floyd and that became some of my favorite stuff to listen to. That really informed a lot of my musical taste later and opened up the world to me since I don't have this weird aversion to listening to and enjoying music made before I was born like some of you apparently have

It's true that people can be very knee jerk about declaring something "dated" and not wanting to listen to it because it's "too ooooold". But bands like the Beatles the Eagles, Pink Floyd, etc are so overexposed that I can't blame people too much for being averse to them, for the same reason that I'm so sick of poo poo like Sister Golden Hair and Do It Again: familiarity breeds contempt.

I don't get the "overplayed" thing because where are you hearing these things? The radio? Spotify, Pandora? These bands made other songs. There are tons of Pink Floyd songs that are great that get literally no play (the entirety of Animals for example.) poo poo, I even listened to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety (on my turntable  ) the other day and I've heard all of those songs a million billion times and even still, listening to it as an album instead of just the usual radio hits of Time and Money just hits different. The problem isn't the music, it's the way you listen to it.

They're just one of several examples of bands that, to younger people, might be overexposed because they (and a handful of their songs like Time and Money) get a lot of attention over other stuff that's just as good.

I would rather listen to a more contemporary good band inspired by the Beatles or Zeppelin or whoever than the original band. Same with bands inspired by kraftwerk, Eno, Bach, or old new Orleans jazz. Something about the contemporary mixed with those influences just does it for me.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:The radio. Yeah. Radio is really to blame on homogenizing music tastes. Before Spotify and Youtube, I had no idea what songs were to popular ones. I mainly listened albums and just liked the songs from them that I liked and that was that. Lot of bangers on those albums that people just didn't know.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:The radio. This kind of understates where the "overplayed" stuff comes from because to me it just sounds like somebody actively choosing to listen to the radio but it can show up anywhere and everywhere. Bars, arenas, grocery stores, karaoke, telephone hold music, waiting rooms, soundtracks, festivals, parties, etc. And then years spent listening to whatever my parents were listening to, which does include but is not limited to the radio.
