[TattooedWoman22]

@ xlienxx It's because people stereotype so easily in this world...If one were to say "young people don't know anything about good music" it would be as ignorant as saying "all blacks are convicts" and "all older single white men are petifiles or rapists"....LOL it's just ridiculous to ASSUME age has anything to do with someones depth as a human...I listen to everything and am a very well rounded person and HEY GUESS WHAT?!?!?!......YUP!! You guessed it, I'm a younger person!! lol

[3Hits4Felix]

the music industry has corrpted todays youth with mass marketing. it's just a dreadfully true fact that should be adressed, until we can breathe versatile life back into music and it's creators. And the only way to do that, is to refuse to illegally download, and employ some executives with real soul and an unflinching imagination and willingness to put out beautiful compositions, instead of generic folly.

[aaronkonichek]

@3Hits4Felix It is still the consumers fault for demanding crap in the first place. They create the demand that big business can satisfy, if we all act like victims, then we will be treated like victims. Be the change you want to see in the world

[3Hits4Felix]

@aaronkonichek i agree, but thats what happens when you have young, impressionable minds, who arent fluent in culture, and the heritage of music. some people would argue that their parents are partly to blame for their children being consuming drones, and there's a lot of truth to that, but it's also manipulation through magazines and television. If the general public image being displayed is conformity, style, and elitism, then you breed those exact concepts.

[LittleNao7]

[AllisonRenee78]

[xlienxx]

@adpbill not this teenager here;). But one question, why do people always think that todays youth doesnt like good music like this anymore?

[LetUsFloatLikeAngels]

@xlienxx

Because the youth of today have been more heavily brainwashed into thinking that if it's not on mainstream radio and in the charts then it's not good.

I ignore all that crap and listen to proper music by amazing musicians. I'm 17 and love Ben Harper :)

[xlienxx]

@LetUsFloatLikeAngels I disagree, I know more people my age (I'm 18) that do like old music and non-mainstream music than people who just stick to what's on the radio. For instance, last night I was at a party where a band played, 10 kids my age, and they only played 70's and 80's music;).

[LetUsFloatLikeAngels]

@xlienxx

Awesome :)

Of all the people my age that I know and have know, perhaps a hand full of them have a varied taste in music from different time periods and/or cultures, all the rest listen to Radio 1 and nothing else.

I think you kinda have to go back to find truly talented people. There seems to be far, far less today :(

[xlienxx]

@LetUsFloatLikeAngels That´s such a pitty, they just don´t know what they´re missing out on. Well, where do you live? The US? I live in Holland, and a lot of my friends and people I know are into all kinds of music.

But there are really talented people out there nowadays too, but I'm not talking about people like xtina (yeah she can sing, but hasn't got any soul at all) or kesha or the BEP, I'm talking about Pink(!), Adele, Jessie J, Jason Mraz, all kinda mainstream but fucking talented:)

[webby711]

@xlienx

Because the most popular artists in the youth's eyes could never sound like this live.

[xlienxx]

@webby711 Not true, there are some truly talented people out there, but i agree, a lot of them can´t sing. But anyway, that´s not what it´s about, everybody alwyas seems to think today´s youth doesn´t appreciate old music anymore, but that´s so not true. I LOVE this, I´m 18, and really i think 50% of my itunes library exists of ´old´ music, MJ, fleetwood mac, madonna, the police, melissa etheridge, led zeppelin, guns n roses, acdc, aerosmith shall I go on?

[xlienxx]

@webby711 you probablly never listened to pink live, did you? ;) She always sounds better than this!

[Treadsoftly14]

@xlienxx because they dont. this barely even counts.

[frederikcreemers]

@xlienxx Because a lot of people don't.

I mean, if people like JB and lady gaga rise to the top of the charts, then, you get a certain idea about what most people like.

but don't judge them on that, when I asked my parents about this, they also only listened to rock 'n roll in the sixties, they also didn't care about music from the 30's or 40's. It's just logical that people listen to the music they hear most at their time.

[xlienxx]

@frederikcreemers I listen to lady gaga too, she's a really good artist (tho I didn't like her last album) but that's not all I listen too, I listen to old music too cuz it's just as good, sometimes better... it's just different. But I think you're mistaken when you think that almost no one of today's youth listens to this anymore, I know for a fact that we do!

[RozalynnM]

@xlienxx Im 26 and I used to be one of those people that believed that but honestly I dont anymore I have come to realize a mass majority of the younger generation has turned their attention to some amazing music no one should just assume someones age determines their musical taste hell I caught my grandma jamming out to Cee Lo Greens F**K You the other day lmao!!!

[Bugeda]

@xlienxx because you all have horrible grammar/Spelling

[xlienxx]

@Bugeda I know I don't have horrible grammar or spelling, so don't go generalising...

[Bugeda]

@xlienxx Spelled "generalizing" wrong lol :P

[unclegarrad]

@Bugeda Wrong. Americans fucked up the English language

[JennyRaeLynn]

@xlienxx Albeit you are young, you have and old spirit, .....for great music!....... Just open your heart and your ears and more will come, Xlinexx! More will come if you let it in, love.....

[beearwalken]

@xlienxx I think most people are speaking for the majority... Generally what most of the younger people like is high on the charts, the most listened too and purchased music. But I feel ya man. I was the same way when i was a teen... i'm still that way today, most the music i listen to is not on the charts, and was made well before 1985 (when i was born). Just out of curiosity... we're you ever in band or choir?

[xlienxx]

@beearwalken I get where those people are coming from, I just don't think it's fair to gereralize;). And btw, the music on the charts ain't all bad, I like some of it too, just not only that! And to answere your question, yes i've been part of a musical group for the past 9 years;)

[beearwalken]

@xlienxx Not at all, unfortunately they do =/ I do as well get down with some of the radio stuff, just not alot of it. Even the songs i do like on the charts comparatively to something like this... no contest.

I figured as much though. In most cases from what i've see, the younger cats that know old music or just good music in general have some kind of music background. Since they tend to have a higher respect and understanding. Hooray for music programs lol One Love!

[xlienxx]

@beearwalken Agreed! Especially dance music is nothing compared to this... I just think that by making music with a computer, the song loses it´s soul, there´s no emotion left, which is the beauty of music. It can be fun music but still...

What I see is that people who play an instrument or sing (and not just in the shower) do have a broader taste of music:), so indeed hooray for music programs:P One Love to U 2 (ok.. bad wordplay xD)

[Adryanna14]

@xlienxx Age has nothing to do with music tastes I think it's fashion that changes and music along with it. So many of the teenagers maybe would like this kind of music but they don't know those singers and bands because they don't see them in the media, they are not in the public eye as much as lady gaga, j.lo or who else.

[marsmalik]

@Adryanna14 ssooo false

[cookie99monster00]

@xlienxx people that criticize this generation forget who raised it.

[xlienxx]

@cookie99monster00 well, that's the best reply I got so far:P

[allenmoses]

@cookie99monster00 This is totally irrelevant to the song

[supereuropaa]

@xlienxx Most of them don't.

[adpbill]

what teenagers disliked this?

[loleinlol]

My girlfriend died 2 years ago, I always miss her and i'll always love her

Songs like this makes me still alive

[funkyoutoo]

@loleinlol it's music that keeps us alive every day.. bad things happen to all of us at some point of our lives and every time we think we can't keep going, we have to give up.. there comes a song, giving us strength, helping us to keep our head up. we sometimes don't even notice that. can be a song playin in a store, or a musician on the streets.. music and love is it what makes life worth living on every good and bad day. one love for ben harper and his touching music.

[weelsouza1]

This is hippie bornig stuff. He should start using autotune or somenthing

[Mihalis51]

@Fluffie14 Sorry mate, Ben Harper isn't Kanye West. Ben Harper doesn't need auto tune as he actually has talent and can sing
