Why do I feel judged/attacked when someone asks me why I like old music?

Because you’re taught to equate getting older with being out of date and therefore “uncool” and no longer relevant, like a cringe parent or something similar. It’s a lot easier when you realize how little something like that matters when no one thinks about you as much as you think about you.

They clearly do lol I’m asking the question for a reason 💀

[curlygirllll]

And I wasn’t taught that lol

Society teaches it, not your parents, it’s that pressure to keep up with all the new and latest things that says old things are bad

Asking the question at all kind of presupposes that there's something unusual or problematic about older music.

You're being asked to justify something that you probably haven't really thought about.

No need to feel bad about what music you like. If people are judging you for it they have a problem with themselves

Isn't it fascinating how music from different eras can evoke strong feelings? 🎶 When someone asks about your love for old music, remember it's just curiosity. Each generation forms unique connections to different types of music. Sharing your passion for timeless tunes can open up exciting conversations and help others appreciate your perspective. Embrace your tastes and feel proud of what makes you happy!

Because you're insecure
