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?

I like what i like and don't care what others think. Mostly it is older music from when the words of the lyrics made sentences that make sense and i can relate to them.

@Laughman Songs and lyrics i could be posting for days but the obvious ones are falling in/out of love, so ones like these.

Many a tear have to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love

You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above

Once in a while he will call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly
Away
