Signs you're getting old? (lemmy.ca)

My knee still doesn't feel right after that hiking trip two weeks ago.
I started listening to really old music.

Have I crossed the threshold?

Someone in here will say The Weeknd and cue mass existential crisis.

I didn't even know who the weekend was until a couple years ago. Green day I do because I like the band a lot.

I had never heard of them until a Letterkenny episode mentioned them multiple times.

No no like, that classic golden oldies singer, Britney Spears!

Then there are those of us who were already adults when she was on the Mickey Mouse Club.

I mostly listen to music from my parents' youth. Growing up I listened to the oldies station a whole lot (Oldies 98.1 used to be so good!). I'm Gen X, they're boomers. So classic rock is definitely in the mix, but also artists like Petula Clark, the Supremes, Tommy James and the Shondells, etc. There's a great station on SiriusXM called '60s Gold that I listen to pretty much every day.

And then when I need a change, I switch to New Wave / post-punk or Grunge.

Oh you mean music from the 1900s?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You are a menace and must be stopped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

So, you mean music composed before 1800? Bach and Mozart should be fine, whereas Beethoven is way too modern.

I'm late Gen X but I'm really enjoying Gen Z music. Some of it's so chill.

I start my day on 1960s English prog and ska, and end my day on 1970s Italian and Turkish prog and pop. I dunno what's out there
