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

[Valmy]

I guess there are a few pop artists I enjoy still...but as I am incredibly neurotic about my music tastes there is no way I am telling anybody who they are.

YOU WILL ALL JUDGE ME!!!!

[ulmont]

Can't be me, though, because I constantly point out MTV2, VH-1 and VH-1 Classic whenever that topic comes up.

VH-1 no longer plays videos and the other two aren't on basic cable.

Here's VH-1's lineup tonight:

07:00pm I Love Money 2
08:00pm For the Love of Ray J
09:00pm Tough Love
10:00pm Tough Love
11:00pm Rock of Love Bus With Bret Michaels
12:00am 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s
01:00am 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s
02:00am For the Love of Ray J

I started listening to pop music on AM radio when I was 10. when I was 13, I was living in the city, and they had FM, and no station in my market played pop* on FM then.

* the station that did so, called it "soft rock."

Dude, I like Foreigner.

[MadImmortalMan]

I was done with it by the time I entered High School at least.

I stopped having much interest some years ago. I began noticing that the artists of the month that I liked, had gotten their CDs or such, no longer had any appeal to me.

That's a sure sign of old age.  When I was 13 there was Peter, Paul and Mary special on PBS.  My Dad put it on; but turned it off a couple songs in and told me that one day I'd hear songs that I used to like and wonder why I ever listened to them.  Now I wonder why I ever liked Billy Joel.

It's still Rock and Roll to me.

They keep moving them further up the cable package echelon, though. It's almost impossible to find music videos on basic cable at a normal time of day.

I went to an urban college for graduate school.  They always had some rap video channel on at the gym.  Almost all the rap videos were identical; there were booty-shaking honeys, there were pimped out Cadillac Escalades, the rap star and his friends were hanging out at home and then they went to the club.  It was like a day in the life of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.  It would be a shame that sort of entertainment is no longer widely available.

The pre-internet 90s were the pinnacle of video making. There was some pretty good shit from Tom Petty, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., U2, Aerosmith, Guns'n'Roses, Metallica etc. Now all videos looks bland and boring.

[The Brain]

I still listen a LOT to top 40 music. Granted, it's the top 40 of the 80s.

The top 40 of the 1880s are still unmatched.

Hey! 

[Razgovory]

I never really started.

[Zanza]

I just looked up the German charts and I know a couple of the songs in the top 40 from the radio. So I guess I never stopped listening to pop music.

Same. Well, kinda. When I entered high school, I listened to the oldies station a lot, so pop music of the 60s. Then I moved on to rock stations and country stations. Now I don't listen to anything.
