:lol:

I'd say though the answer is clear - you don't keep up with modern music. :D

Also, Seeds, you'd be upset if you image searched Jake Shears as one of the first ones show him showing off his pubes.

Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson or Aretha never had to show their pubes.   :mad:

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yeah, can't really answer the question. Though I'm in my 40s and set in my ways, and like a lot of the 70s stuff, I'm fairly open minded and do buy new music from new bands from time to time.

Modern music is usually quite bad, so I avoid it.

Older music is usually pretty bad, too.  Sturgeon's Law and all.  But if you just avoid it all because most of it is crap, you miss out on the good stuff, too.

I try to find new music through pandora or the morning radio jaunt, but it's kind of hit or miss.

I've nothing against new music in principle. Trouble is there isn't much out there that's even half as good as the music of 10 years ago. Not to mention earlier.

Most old people I know are perfectly willing to discover and enjoy new music. Albeit normally crap new stuff.

I'm well over 30 and up, and I like a mix of new music and old. I tend to listen to the newer stuff,  and tend to prefer it over older stuff.

Valmy

Albums? :unsure:

Anyway yeah I listen to new stuff, it is what pops up in Pandora and on the radio.
