Do you think my friend is weird for only listening to 90s/00s music this entire decade and boycotting modern music?

[Anonymous]

So my friend and I were born in 2001. My friend literally this entire decade has been fixated on music from the 90s/00s. I remember she stopped listening to the radio when we were like 11/12 (2012-13ish) because it was all techno/edm sounding and annoyed her. She will only listen to rap music from like 1990-2009. I’ve tried showing her modern rap and she doesn’t like it and thinks it sounds like trash. She does listen to the radio when we are in the car and bitches. She likes pop music from like 1999-2009. So mainly 00s pop and 90s/00s alt rock. I just think it’s weird. We are 18 and she’s been obsessed with music from like when we were little or before we were born for years. She has all these iHeartRadio I heart 00s and I heart 90s and fly nation hip hop radio and some 90s/00s and today station. It’s just you would think you would listen to music from our generation. It’s going to be 2020 and you are still fixated on music from like 2000. I’ve tried getting her to watch the amas and Vmas throughout this decade and she just won’t watch it. She doesn’t like the music from this decade at all. At our homecoming dances she requests songs from the 90s/00s. It’s so weird. You would think you would get tired of listening to 90s/00s music day in and day out for the last like 8-9 years and would want to know modern music

Ya she’s fucking strange af and not normal

No (how is it not weird though)

It bothers me because we are 18 and she’s wasting her time listening to old people music and not her OWN generations music

You call your friend weird and immature for being fixated on 90s/00s music yet your sitting here badmouthing her asking strangers if it’s normal. I think it’s weird you care so much about what she chooses to listen too over the years and I also think this question is very immature. It sounds like something a middle school bully would write. Why don’t you worry about yourself? There are BIGGER problems in life than someone listening to music from the 90s and 00s. Who are you to judge? I listen to older music as well, does that make me weird? No. It’s called a music taste. and another thing the 90s and 00s weren’t that long ago

Every generation has those teens that don’t listen to their generations music and prefer older generations and some never grow out of it. My mom was a teen in the 90s and preferred 70/80s hair bands and still listens to them to this day. Nothing wrong with it. Leave her alone

Mate, my music tastes lie in the 80s and earlier and I'm also born in 2001.
Good music to me, and also her, is just not that popular anymore. Only now do I hear some pretty good pop coming out again, since like 2008 or 2009.
It's easier find the good music from before cuz that's what is remembered. All of my favorite albums from the 60s, 70s and 80s are absolutely timeless.
My biggest musical influence died in 1982, some of my others didn't even make it to the 20th century.

Totally normal, listen to the music you enjoy.
Thats never a waste, if you think todayw music suck.
I haven't listend to the radio in over 20 years, because the radio don't play the music i like. For me its just the genre not being compatible with the average listener.

What about people listening to classic music?

Lots of young people know something is very wrong with the time we live in. They may not know what but they can sense the unrest in the air they sense evil and recoil. That might be part of it for sure.
Another part could just be that modern music is low effort corporate trash. If you want her to get in to contemporary music try checking out independent artists.

i'm the same way i really just don't care for modern times music when all it is now is just noise and basically garbage and yet I'm just a millennial or an old gen living with the millennial generation but most of the music industry now sounds like a dumpster rolling down 5 flights of stairs and i stick to the old music from back in the day. but that's me I'm mostly bitter about the times I live in putting up with the garbage of this generation. but everyone's different.

[JamesBond007Fan]

I'm considered the old breed

I think you should stop being so judgmental. No it’s not weird. Perhaps she’s just an old soul and likes the sound of 90s/00s music, I think a lot of songs were way ahead of its time for the era. I believe this generations music is very bland.

I listened to one trap song (my younger sister listens to) - instantly got a brain tumor.

[Anonymous]

you're weird for letting this bother you. they had some amazing music back then and there's nothing wrong with appreciating it today. Especially rap. Rap today is complete shit compared to back then. It's hard to legitimately argue otherwise.

[13IsALuckyNumber]

Well, have you heard music coming out today? It mostly sucks. She has a brain. And it is definitely not weird.

It is fine. My family inherited a huge collection of music from the 1920's up to 1980's. We love playing music from the 50's through to 70's.

[Opinion Owner]

I checked. The first music we have is from before 1900.

[Dchrls78104]

Even if she were weird, I wouldn't disagree with her; truth be told, not much these days is worth the listening to.

[October808]

That's not the problem. The problem is she only listens to samples of other people's work.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Whatever he likes what he likes. But he doesn't know what he's missing out on

[Antelope]

Today's music seems ESPECIALLY manufactured, simplistic, etc. Modern rap is QUITE the acquired taste and you can't really expect everyone to adapt

[EnglundUberAlles]

It's not weird at all because old shit is all they play on the radio.

[moonpie89]

I wouldn't be bothered.

[Anonymous]

Don't blame her, it was far better then lol

[debbieb84]

Not weird at all no
