All Rock and Pop users between the ages of 12 and 16 who like classic rock, read this question?

when i went to school (i graduated 36 years ago) nobody listened to classic rock. when the 80's rolled around some radio promo guys came up with a radio format called classic rock in order to play stairway to heaven and freebird 5 times a day. funny thing is that everybody started calling old rock classic rock because some radio promo guys told them that's what it is.

ba: no, i stopped listening to the radio around 1984 or so.

ba2: i'm more annoyed that people get annoyed by questions people ask here.

I agree with you. I'm 16 but I don't come out shouting that I love Beatles and I want people to respect me. I don't think it's rare to find someone listening to classic rock because it's awesome. I must admit I'm not as big of a fan as I was but classic rock would still be on my iPod. I love classic rock and I hate people who does that shít. Not in that specific category. Any age, if anyone go and shouts they love classic rock and that they should be treated as if they're awesome for that should go blow me. But I doubt people out of that area would do that. Either way could you blame them? There would be these fúckers saying that they're just posers who really don't like classic rock. I know people telling me I'm not an actual classic rock fan because I listen to Paramore and Green Day. That I won't know shít cuz I wasn't even born yet. In a way I understand why they do that because some geezers would say that we don't know classic rock just because we weren't even planned when those songs came out.

Yes I'm 16. And I love classic rock as much as the next guy.

I think it's because most of this generation listens to the crap on pop radio. And a lot of people say that that's all teenagers like, so the 12-16 year olds that do listen to good music feel obliged to proof them wrong. I've never done that because that type of music always seemed normal in my family until I got to high school.

BQ: Yes, I'm 15 and I listen to classic rock, but I also listen to new music....just good new music lol

BQ2: I'm not really annoyed, but I think it is kind of stupid.

Honestly, this question is very stereotypical. Sure, there are some kids who feel the need to be accepted, but not all of us do. I don't go frolicking around, telling (or asking) everybody that I like classic rock.

On another note, I actually am one of the few kids in my school that listen to classic rock. I wouldn't say that it's rare, but it isn't exactly common amongst my age group.

I can't explain the actions of the teenagers on Y!A, but a majority of teenagers in the world have a need to fit in and be accepted. I'm lucky that I don't have that necessity, but it's more or less just human nature.

Ignore my answer if you wish, but don't pick somebody as best answer for the sole purpose of them agreeing with you.

At the time of my posting this answer, The Beatles' page on Facebook has 19,035,153 fans and I'd guess close to half of those fans are under the age of 20. Need I say more?

1. No

2. A little, but I mostly find it amusing.

Do you feel better now Jay?

Or catch the semi-ironic nature of this rant, lol. After all, if you truly didn't care you would simply ignore it.

Just sayin'.

BTW..... lyk omg wat do u think of my taste in music?!?! I'm lyk so kewl n unique, amirite? =P

Bq: not for oh.... about 20 years now.

Bq2: not really. I only tend to get annoyed when little nits of any stripe invade my personal questions with non-relevant musical proclomations, be it these younguns who got yer panties in such a twist or the little inbred hermorphradites who feel so threatened by my tyrranical rule of R&P. But otherwise, not really. Though it is occasionally fun to post questions that either force em to think, or twist their tales if they take themselves too seriously.

I mean, hey, it's a crappy little opinion and answer forum on the internet.... so really, who care?

@jay.. technically not answering many qs from anyone. I decided to dump the internet and my phone is too slow to want to spend much time. I decided it was time to re-embrace my inner luddite and return to the analog world. So I will still turn up here and there but not near like I used to.

I completely agree with you. I've never thought I was rare because of my music taste. Sure, the majority of people my age listen to pop and rap, but I know other people like me, and therefore don't feel rare. I also don't care one way or another what someone thinks of my music taste, I'm just being myself. So, no, you are not out of line.

BQ: Yup.

BQ2: I'm completely annoyed by it. I don't feel the need to post questions like that, so neither should they.

:)

Im 18 and love Classic Rock =)

Just wanted to answer thought because I've loved it since I was 5. Thats fair right....

I don't flatter myself like that haha

BQ: I'm 15 and listen to classic rock. I don't really flaunt it, but if people ask for music recommendations I usually recommend some classics.

That's a very interesting and well thought out opinion.

BQ: Nope

BQ2: Welll, I'm not really annoyed, just a little concerned at the fact that there's so many kids who feel the need to be accepted, and that they need confirmation from strangers that they're 'cool'. I feel bad for them, really. :\
