"Huge black CDs" are records.

Shit, I'm only 19 and I feel old when I talk about music with people my age. Or older. I shit you not, I met a woman in her 30's who didn't know who the Beatles were.

I have a fairly basic knowledge of music "history", but my friends think I have some sort of Rainman-type knowledge about music. It's bizarre.

Jealous!

I heard that a lot of young people these days don't even know who Lennon or McCartney is,now that makes me feel old!..

ARE there any influential rock n roll musicians around in 2005?

jthad1129 said:

Dylan,Springsteen....There must be more of 'em...

Heehee.... I walked into Top Man (UK gents' clothes store) at the weekend, for the first time in years, and was walking around thinking, "Hmmm... All these styles are really loud and garish..... And what the hell is this crap that's playing...? And how come everyone in here's about 10 years younger than me.....?"

.....and then it hit me: "OH MY GOD.....! I'M OLD!!!!!"

I work with teenagers who think 30 is ancient, so I get this all the time. As long as they follow my cardinal rule ("U r not allowed 2 call any song that was popular when I was in high school "Old School"), everybody's happy. It's funny, but no different than when Tina Turner's "Priavte Dancer" came out in '84 and I was astonished that my parents knew who she was!

Reading everbody's response to this made me feel at home with everybody in this fourm!!!!!

For me, I'm only 22 myself and I'm always told I have an old soul cuz of my knowledge of music from the 70's ( a decade I know so much about musically...and I was born in '82) and the 80's.

When I was in 6th going into the 7th ( or the summer of '94) I started getting more into music from the 70's and 80's coutesy of going thru various relatives' record collections, listening to classic R&B radio stations, discovering JB,Sly, P-Funk, funk period. Gangta rap was at its peak and I was drifting in my own world (sort of), digging Prince ( in his 'symbol' days)and to the piont where my nickname in middle school was Prince cuz of my fascination about his music and acting like him.

Now my record collection has expanded(mostly vinyl) and its continuing to grow....

thanks to my hometown Detroit and a retired radio personality who introduced me to accepting music from the past and respecting it....The Electrifying MoJo

I was 12 when that came out.

so, i went back to school for a second career, and i was sitting in class one day, wearing a rolling stones t-shirt that i had bought when i had seen them in atlanta at the omni in 1975.

one of my classmates, who i was friends with, looked at the shirt, and said,"1975, wow, i was born in 1976." so, i was wearing a t-shirt that was older than she was. that's old.

I bought one of those Rolling Stones t-shirts from Thrifty's and the salesgirl was like, "Like, I totally don't get this shirt. Why is there a big tongue on it?"

Me:







Oh wait, you were serious.

SammiJ said:

Well, then I don't mean you. . .I mean those OTHERS!!

I am 17, and the kids at school think I'm some kind of music GOD.

Like the other, Trey Thomas, former NFL player for the New York Giant's came to our school to speak too us. He said he liked old-school music and played a song and then asked us some questions about the song. The first was who sings "Let's Go Crazy" and where is the artist from. No folks knew who sang it but didn't know where Prince was from. One prize for me. Then he played "For the Love of Money." No one, not one person answered but me. 2 points. Next, who sings "Computer Love", stomped again. 3 points. He just quit after that.

Fuck dem youngins IIIII'mmmmm 50! And I kick!

Muthafuckas probably too young to remember that too

yeah..when ya kid thinks New Edition looks like a bunch of old men even though she likes their music....you're sorta old...

or when your kid knows "Basketball" by Kurtis Blow because of bow wow's version of the song....you're old.
