what age are you to old for chart music? (wrightstuff debate)
 

is 30 to old for chart music



over 30 you can not act street,

because you are heading for the o.a.p stage, now that's sweet.

no gangster rap or jungle can enter your ears,

susan boil, frank sinatra, loui armstrong now bring your tears.

your hip street look is now starting to fade,

you don't shop at camden lock, because all clothes are M&S made.

to the pub for a quickie, but you sit instead of stand,

the lady's are now a challenge to chat to and a no go is a one night land.

on comes the music and with it you can not relate,

its time to accept music you can not date.

for those that refuse to accept, old age will highlight,

because once you are over 30, chart music and any person dose not look right.


i was watching this great morning chat show when this debate came on and i am pleased all the pannel were thinking along the same lines as the joe lol
its so embarassing seeing a old person trying to be young.

dose anyone feel the joe is being a bit harsh on this one and we should all try and be a bit more hip and young and it might even make us relate and get on better as a community ? love to hear your views.

I wouldn't say they should try and act 'hip and young', that's taking it too far, but in my opinion, anyone can enjoy whatever music they want. Stereotypically, I'd be into chart music being 17, but, for the most part, I can't stand it. Ftr, Frank Sinatra is one of my favourite people to listen to, but does that mean I shouldn't because it's too 'old' for me?

It is embarrassing when seeing mutton dressed as lamb (boys and girls) but 30s are hardly past it Joe!

Most people as they get a bit older no longer WANT to do the things you mention - their tastes change (for the better) and they stop acting like idiots! Sounds good to me!

I'm 31 and not into chart music but I never was when I was younger either. lol @ "can't act street" like I'd really want to be "street"

im 43 and love chart music my faves being JLS

I am over 30 and i don't listen any of that chart crap. Simple as that.

I'm 44, very good at music of ages of my whole era - playing Dance 91 in MGTF convertible which was paid for by BB7 which is a long time ago - sorry users My total win since BB7 is £27,000 - I'm a gambler interloping

I am 15 and I am not really into chart music. I listen to music by Madonna and Kylie Minogue and they are not really en vogue to chart music. Plus I can repect artists that were post my generation.

I still like a few chart artists but not like everyone in the charts.

Older boy says yeah Mojo - I use ipod in car

I listen to the chart for recreational purposes, really. And I only usually listen to the Chart Update, not the main show.

But I would never pass off the majority of chart music as masterpieces that have been created by artists with great talent, as that's not the case.

And I pity people that believe that it is the case.

I just want a laugh arguing about cr@pheads on TV - and giggle - not agree

there comes a time when perhaps you can see thorough 95% of chart music and see the industry behind it, the suits, the shareholders and it all becomes very unappetising.

The rather annoying Lilly Allen's The Fear is a good example of chart music that appeals to everyone because it is clever, new and has a point.

Fair point LT (for a change) - see you @ T in the Park

LT - Shas will put his "Mull of Khyntre" 45 record on and tell us 'the most popular single ever - SUPER - I'm singin' along already

dont diss "Tha Mull"

that bitch still rocks my socks today

I think i used chart music to find out where i stand on music now i dont listen to alot of the chart music but i found the artists i like through it, now i just follow those artists and occationally listen to some of the music in the charts

This. Plus I think the older you get the more you can recognise and crave honesty and can seperate style from substance.

Jim Morrison meant it. Prince meant it. Kylie probably doesn't. But who would you rather go for a boat ride with.

I've gone off it this year, cant stand anything in the charts right now

Tcheuchters - pah!!!! :-)

"In a Big Country" youi live in LT - or our new national anthem by Proclaimers (also from Fife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

When S Club split a little part of me died and i saw the charts as the murderer

I luv New Order - best EVER English World Cup song

I have to admit at 40 ladygaga gets me jumping aboput with the hoover.

Don't poke the hoover end somewhere sensitive bezo - giggle!

I'll come up to fife and ram it right up your arse if you want.

no thanks - but nice offer - sorry, I'm not that way inclined pal!
