Does this make me uncool?

Asked by bookish1 (13159points) May 14th, 2013

A relative question, I know. And I am already aware that I am drastically uncool by the standards of my peer group (mid-20 somethings.)

In the past month, two good buddies of mine (and both closer to their 30s than I am) have gently ragged on me for the fact that I listen to only “old” music. (Old in the sense that….the bands began in the 1980s-1990s. Yeah, I know, ridiculous. One of these friends is even a fellow historian.)

I keep up with the new releases of my favorite bands, but I am definitely not on a constant search for novelty. I know what kind of music I enjoy, and I don’t expend energy looking for new bands to get into. Occasionally I will, thanks to a friend, radio station, or concert, but left to my own devices, I largely listen to the same kinds of music that I enjoyed in high school and college.

Is this all that unusual?
