New School

“Wit in the name a God do you call that? That’s no singing, that’s squealin! That’s no a song, that’s a racket!” – Without a doubt, this is what my gran says every time she hears a newer more recent song. And sometimes, so true.

In my very first post, if anyone actually cares and has read all of them – you will remember how I said I tolerate new music.

Generally meaning in my mind: I put up with it and some songs are alright, but I’d rather listen to older music any day. And this certainly does not go down well with some people in my car – who try and skip each song until they find a more recent one – or one that they actually know, (which can be rare).

I can actually admit that I do listen to the odd new song – but not very many. I can also admit to my guilty pleasure – One Direction. Although – when I was 14 there was a point where they were all I listened to (and my room was covered head to toe in posters of them).

I wish that S Club 7 and DJ Otzi still made music – then I would maybe listen to newer music more often. My love for these artists when I was wee was mad – and I still see myself listening to them.

Artists these days tend to take samples from older music and incorporate it into their own music. Is this used as a marketing technique? So that it doesn’t just attract the younger generation to listen to the song – but the older generation too? And it probably works too – I have defo caught my mum dancing to Easy Love in the kitchen geein it yaldi.

Next blog will be 5/5, stay tuned xo
