tl;dr I do feel a little curious about how Bieber ended up in this thread, but I guess old is the new new.

If you liked the Sex Pistols or like PIL, check out the episode of Talk to Al Jazeera with John Lydon. I consider it one of the finest interviews I've ever seen, and would probably appeal to even people who don't care about Punk and New Wave.

I thought that was a prerequisite for being a pop star. I mean to be popular you have to sell out any form of creativity, direction, and voice to reach the maximum amount of people, just like a politician. i.e. a sh***y person.

How about some truly "old" music? The term can be pretty relative.

I enjoy music from the 1920s until now. Most of my friends and acquaintances listen to 'old' music, though. I enjoy a lot of contemporary music, even contemporary pop but some use sounds (that I can't properly describe) that my ears either can't stand or seem to make me feel queasy (even older music sometimes affects me this way but I find it more prominent in pop music from the last 10 years, maybe).

I definitely went through a phase where I thought I was too 'cool' for contemporary music. (Just a note: I've literally never been cool haha) But I eventually realised I should just listen to whatever appeals to me. Often, that's not what's most popular or what's current, but sometimes it is.

...I think I may have gone off on a slight tangent, here.

you might then do a google search for "KUOW-94.9 FM seattle, "the swing years and beyond."

Well, how does this 1920's music strike you?



Or is more "popular" old music the only music of any interest to the folks in this thread?

I'm happy I don't even know why he's hated. That's how much attention I pay to pop culture. Ignorance is bliss.
