Metal Nation: 83% Of Teens Think Metallica, Disturbed, Korn Is ‘Old People Music’.
Well, they’re right. I’ve expressed this before - kids today are remarkably generous to allow us our ‘elderly’ music. The Rolling Stones’ first hits are as far back in history as Al Jolson was to my generation in high school. And I can tell you we certainly didn’t hear Jolson on the radio as much as you hear “Not Fade Away.” The band mentioned in the article, Twenty One Pilots, I hadn’t heard of before. Try them out. They cross a lot of musical styles very deftly. Listen to the kids!
Later: Speaking of which, Disturbed’s latest has some great lyrics. Almost self-help (The Light, What Are You Waiting For). Great for workouts.

Spotify lists in “browse” FTW.

What a terrible website though. The UX is so terrible I’m not even laughing.
There’s probably an uwritten rule among metal-heads that one must use ‘crunchy’ and ‘distorted’ UI ... (wink) ...

agreed more awesome music now than ever
sometimes they do listen to me, unfortunately 25% of the time they play old people’s music!
great that the kids listen to old music too
i’m too lazy and set in my ways to actively try and discover new music which is why i tell my hipster coffee friends at revolvercoffee.ca to only play music from 2010 on
