Are you a music pretender?

I've never really liked top 40 music for a long time now. These days it's all the same regenerated electronic music. It has no soul or meaning and lately all the music is about people feeling sorry for themselves.

That all aside, I would genuinely like to know if people actually like today's music? I think younger people are peer pressured into 'enjoying it' when deep down you know it's horrible and deeply shallow.

Do you have older music you prefer to listen to without others knowing for fear of being outcast?

There is more music being created than ever before - plenty of it just as good as what I listened to in younger days. I'm always hearing something new and delicious.

@hlpflwthat have you got an example?

@Laughman Here is one I discovered this week on youtube. There are a lot of people listening to new music that will never see The Top 40 - and wouldn't have seen it when I was young. We're no longer dependent on radio to explore for us :)
