Had an opportunity to rent a car recently for work and it had a Sirius Satellite radio system. Needless to say I flipped through the radio channels and discover there were specific channels for music from the 40's, 50's, 60's all the way through current 2013 music. Got me thinking about the evolution of music and that got me thinking of the many times my parents (mostly my dad) would tell me to turn that music down (turn that shit off). Listening to some of the new stuff I realize that I am at the stage in my life.

How old were you when certain music just became noise to you? I should include that I love music, grew up with Jimi Hendricks, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and still enjoy music that is played on 93.3.

Still like my Music and like some of the new bands as well. Never been a big rap fan although I do own some and most of the "Pop" songs these days using autotune make them all sound the same. [Flower] And one must have quality to go along with that quantity. You make think that BOSE POS sounds good but it sucks big time. [Puke]

I'm a card carrying member of the "turn that shit down" club but not because I don't like the music. It's more that I don't like the fact that people feel the need to play it so loud that I have to hear it. You like a certain song? Awesome. Good for you. But what the fuck makes you think I want to listen to it? Turn that shit down. And, while you're at it, pull your pants up, turn your hat around, and slow the fuck down. If you left for your job at McDonald's a little earlier you wouldn't have to be in such a hurry. Fucktard.

I'm right there with you on all of that!!! It's not that I don't necessarily like the music someone else is playing, but when I have to turn my radio up to the point of my ears bleeding if I want to hear what I have on the radio over their sub-woofer it's a bit much.

93.3 sucks now a dayz. While it offers music other stations don't play, it is worlds away from it's beginnings / sounds of 25 years ago. Outside of the music, it's like any othe rFM sound

Odd this topic came up as i was talking to mary moses (former 80's KTCL, NOT 93.3THE POINT! dj) last night about a few tracks she was "spinning" , over on kfrc. How her musical choices then opened up different venues of sound (world, and local) that would have and are still not played on the usual fm stations.
Example: Mumford and Son, while receiving airplay on FM today was played 3 years ago on krfc and kcsu.

The ability to listen to college radio opened up lots of venues music wise over the years. Add to that KTCL back in the 80's & 90's when they were a small ft. collins area indy sound. Or what i refer to as the way FM radio use to be. Those sounds that did not, or do not fit the AMERICAN TOP 40 COOKIE CUTTER format

Another great listen (if you can get it over the air ) is AM RADIO1190 CU's station.

I remember hating the talk radio my dad listened to. Then just after high school I started listening to the same talk radio. Now I no longer like talk radio and only listen to NPR.

As far as the actual question, my dad would complain about us watching rap videos on MTV the most, but anything loud enough would get complaints. My dad actually asked me to play Doin It Well by L.L. Cool J. I thought he was checking the lyrics and was going to take it from me. I think he actually liked the song and wanted to hear it. He actually tried to listen to things I liked sometimes, and he liked and listened to 93.3 before I did. My dad introduced me to Collective Soul even. He was never a big fan of the "oldies" because "there will never be new songs."

Music ended for me just around Y2K and I have no idea why. I didn't even know it happened until around 2010 and many times since then it has been pointed out I have no idea who 99% of bands/singers/etc are now. I may have music released since then, but almost all is from bands that were around way before Y2K. Most everything I listen to is 70s/80s/90s.

I guess I'm not much of a music lover myself. I do have sirius in all cars and I tend to work on language lessons or listen to Patriot radio. Sometimes sports.

I definitely don't understand people who have to have their iPods on all the time jamming to music when they work, when they work-out, when they are just putzing around, etc.

In the 70s/80s/90s were you listening to music from twenty or thirty years earlier?

I like new stuff, especially music.

Dont get me wrong, the old stuff was great. But if that's all you listen to, then you are just living in the past and not keeping up with the rest of society.

My philosophy is that people with the worst taste in music have to play it the loudest. That said, I like to crank it once in a while.

I can do without POP rock/country/alternative...

I'm 23 and already at that stage. My generation is shit; no bones about it. If you can get someone my age to listen to a song for more than 12 weeks, you're a wizard. The attention spans are so short now, that each song bores everyone instantly. But really, it's essentially the same songs played ad infinitum:

-I love you and we're happy (pop/country/r&b)
-I love you but you left/I fucked up/X happened and we're not happy (pop/country/r&b)
-I'm drinking and doing drugs/at the bar/in a club and we're happy because we don't value our future (pop/rap/rock)
-The material goods I have are price exorbitantly, but I don't care because I make such an obscene amount of money (rap/pop)
-I am the superior male to you in every way; try to denounce me and I'll kill you (rap)
-Everything sucks. I'm suicidal and it's everyone else's fault (rock)

I can count on one hand the friends I have that are my age. Everyone I grew up with just assumes I'm an alien because I don't use social media, I listen to Nick Drake and Sade, I talk about grad school instead of bar hopping, and I drive a 3/4 ton. Having said all that, indie rock and indie electro (read: "hipster music") are favorite genres of mine, and genuine hard rock is only getting better, so it's not all lost.

I've got two kids your age (21 and 25) and I seriously doubt either one of them has heard a single song all the way through. Seems like they will start a song and then, about half way through, get bored with it and switch to another song and then do the same thing.

I think that "Attention Deficit Disorder" stuff just might be a real condition after all.

I enjoy good music from classical, country, heavy metal, easy listening, to old school rock & roll. One thing I can't stand is rap. The closest I've ever come to listening to rap was Kid Rock. Not sure that qualifies. Regardless, you can't spell "crap" without "rap".

I know you're being sarcastic, but EDM/house/etc. is actually pretty legitimate from a technical standpoint. The reason we like music is because the soundwaves interface with our alpha and beta brain waves to stimulate different endorphins. Good electronic music does this to a mathematical perfection. Listening to Dave Nash on professional stereo equipment is unreal. A buddy of mine used to spin at Beta, so I got the privilege of being on the list for Crystal Method and Kill the Noise (formerly EWUN).

If you want some really moody electronic music, check out true dub music. It's often referred to as ambient dub or two-step here, but genuine UK dub is what brostep drew its breakbeats and signatures from. Burial, Synkro, and Phaeleh are top-notch.

Not really. I can't explain it. In the 80s/90s I was listening to music of the 80s/90s. Go figure.
I went to a lot of concerts in the 90s for "current" or "contemporary" bands. I guess I just never got past and now - as you say, I am sort of living in the past.
Every now and again I'll find a current band I really like but on the radio? Never.
The only "current" radio station I listen to on Sirius would be the reggae on 42.

In the 70s and 80s I was listening to John Denver and Billy Joel but I was also listening to Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller. Good music is good music -- it will be timeless if it has pleasing tonalities, melodies and harmonies and/or a catchy rhythm. How many people today still listen to George Strait from the 70s or 80s?


Dont get me wrong, the old stuff was great. But if that's all you listen to, then you are just living in the past and not keeping up with the rest of society.
I'm open to new stuff and some of it is good ... but not a lot. As far as keeping up with society, are we talking about the same society that thinks Barack Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread, actually WANTS to be dependent on the federal or state government, doesn't bother actually reading the Constitution or new laws, and goes around thinking Trayvon Martin was some little angel ruthlessly gunned down by a racist white guy? Mmmmm ... yeah, count me out of that crap, I'll just leap frog it to an era when society regains its senses.

At 32 I can still listen to the new stuff although I find my radio tuned to Sports Talk most often these days.

I have Sirius in both of the cars and subscribe to their Internet streaming service. I find that most all of the am/fm radio stations nowadays suck pretty badly. They'll play 3 or 4 songs and just seem to keep them on repeat so after a few hours of listening to the same station you're burned out on the songs because you've heard them several times in just a few hours.

This is true of satellite radio as well, it just takes longer than a few hours. But I've heard some songs 3-4 times in a day on road trips on, say, 80s on 8. You have an entire decade to work with. There should be no repeats in a day. :shrug:
