How old were you when you stopped listening to Pop Music?

[Josquius]

Edit: But in the end, I guess it depends on what you mean by "pop music"

That rap-metal crap you kids are listening to these days.

Did I just step through a portal to the beginning of the decade? (or late 90s even)

Maybe, Einstein and Rosen said it was mathematically possible.

Oh the things I have to look forward to! 

Just think.  Only about 4 or 5 years away.  Do yourself a favour and dont buy Carl an Ipod - or whatever is being used at the time.

Shit, by the time he's old enough you will probably merely need to wave your hand in the right pattern to pull (crappy preteen) music out of thin air.

You can already do it with funky facial expressions!

My most formative years were in the 80s; I still listen to popular music from the 80s to this day.  Pretty much since I started listening to music I always liked stuff from the 60s-70s and then I was a big fan of many of the varied musical movements of the 80s.  I haven't really listened to much since that time.

Also from a young age I listened to a lot of stuff from the Baroque/Classical/Romantic periods--a by product of being baby sat by a grandmother who was older than time itself.

I still listen to it in the car sometimes, but I prefer classic rock.

From one of the debates in the Katy Perry thread; I was wondering how old people here were when they stopped listening primarily to pop music.

I stopped listening to Top 40 radio when I was 16 in 1988 during the glory days of pop metal, The New Kids on the Block and Madonna.  I've never looked back.

about the same age, 14-15, I think, wich makes it about the same time as you

Started gradually with Bon Jovi, then Def Leppard, then Gun 'N Roses, then Metallica and it changed my life forevah'

I've always listened to a bit of pop music here and there if a song or artist vibed with me. But I've never ever only listened to one genre. I've always been all over the map in terms of what I listen too. Interestingly Radio has played itself out for me. There is no good radio in Vancouver, except CBC.
