[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved The Weeknd up till and including Starboy. Now he sings this easy listening garbage and he's intolerable. [/quote]

Super rich, famous, sleeping with any 10 he wants, access to the best drugs, and now past his creative prime (31 years old). Many such cases. [b]For 50 plus years a musician's creative peak is late teens to mid/late 20s.[/b] [/quote]

NP. Wow. Glad I don't know you. What an incredibly narrow view of "prime" you seem to have. 
Not referring to the Weeknd but to the huge, gross generalization in bold. [/quote]

It's true. Look it up, any artist. Maybe you'll find an outlier here and there but on the whole, it's accurate time and time again. Just as an example:

How old was Phil Collins when he wrote and record "In The Air Tonight"? 29-yo.

50 Cent when he recorded his top album "Get Rich or Die Trying"? 25-yo.

Eminem when he recorded 8 Mile soundtrack? 27-yo.

Taylor Swift's top 2 selling albums? 20-yo and 25-yo.[/quote]

I've never heard a Taylor Swift song and I'm not a big fan of rap. 
I'm more of a Leonard Cohen type of woman and he was creating brilliant music into his eighties. [/quote]

I have never read a post on DCUM that so clearly stated "i'm an old fogey' at heart if not in years, than this one[/quote]

Why, because I don’t like American pop and rap? 
I’m sorry you’re trashy. [/quote]

No lol. Because saying something vaguely like '[b]what the kids listen to is trash and I listen to the good old stuf[/b]f' is basically the definition of being an old fogey. And that is your post but you seem to be saying it with no self awareness. Like admitting you have never even HEARD a Taylor Swift song is basically admitting you have zero actual knowledge of current music from the last decade or so.

- Someone who likes T-swift, doesn't really like rap, and enjoys Leonard Cohen[/quote]

I said nothing of the sort. I took issue with the assertion that musicians hit their peak in their teens or early twenties. 
I like plenty of current music. And no, I'm not familiar with Taylor Swift. I'm not American. There is a whole world of music out there. [/quote]

You called me trashy! PP cited a few musicians who peaked in their 20s and said that there were outliers and but that this was a trend, and for the most part I personally think they are right. You responded saying you had never heard a single song of one of the arguably famous musicians on the planet (on an american message board while speaking english) and cited your love for a dead octogenarian's music.

You will sound old if you say you haven't heard a single song of a global superstar and say instead that you listen to Leonard Cohen. I didn't even say he was bad or anything (he's not!) just that you sounded old. And I feel like saying you don't know current artists but love Leonard Cohen is in the dictionary next to 'how to sound old'[/quote]

You sound age-obsessed. FWIW, Leonard Cohen is very popular among younger people where I live. 
I know a lot of current artists, just not Taylor Swift. I don't tend to listen to pop.
