Thread: When do you think you will grow out of Oldskool?

As the title says "when do you think you will grow out of oldskool?"

can't be arsed to elaborate more than that

have your parents grown out of the beatles/cliff/pink floyd/abba or whatever music they grew up with yet? my dad still listens to black sabbath now. music is a personal thing, and if you like it you will continue to like it. i bet you still like some songs you heard your parents playing but your social circle would never dream of listening to?

agree with jay. as i'm still listening to it 20 years on i can't see me suddenly deciding i dont like it any time soon.

I don't think you can ever grow out of anything that's in your blood and you're so passionate about.

It's the music of our generation, we were involved in the biggest movement, both musically and drug experimentation since the hippie era, I'm not letting that go any time soon.

I will never tire of hearing anthems, obscure tunes, tunes I've never heard and learning everyday about tunes I never knew existed.

Oldskool 'til I die, no doubt

I have to agree with everyone else

Oldskool is in my blood and always will be and i never tire of listening to it and as Curly says there are always new oldskool tunes to discover

Once a raver always a raver

Nope, I'll be discussing jump-up gunshot amen jungle when I'm dribbling into my soup in a care home in 2060, no doubt with a fat old lass who wees herself (wife, hopefully)

Interesting replies there. I was thinking briefly about this myself hence the question, I have only recently gotten back into it really myself having not really listened to it or thought about it since around 96, I mainly progressed through the music when it became Dnb and kind of followed it's progression up until around a year or two ago when dnb for me had gone stale with it's glitchy 2 step nonsense. So I've kind of gotten back into it by accident really and as much as I'm enjoying revisiting 91-94 (don't really have a great knowledge of previous years) I personally think that's all it is, a revisitation.
They say fashion goes in twenty year cycles, and I think this is one of those cycles.
For me anyway.

I don't think I will ever grow out of old skool. Todays music is just shite and nothing like the old stuff.

The only recent stuff I like is a bit of dubstep

Ah, you're still in the honeymoon period after rediscovering it. Man, there was no better feeling than that 2 years ago

I couldn't get enough of it when I rediscovered.. but now a rarely listen to any.. but then again I don't really listen to any music these days..

Pretty soon I think, I hate to admit it but I'm buying fewer and fewer hardcore vinyls and listening less and less of it at home.

Oldskool comes and goes for me but i never go off it and I doubt I ever will. Sometimes it's all i listen to but other times it can be months without. I've also discovered some of the new oldskool stuff, which I think is just as good as some of the old tracks. Who knows what rubbish will be in the charts in 30 years time but whatever it is, we'll all be sat in a retirement home boring the nurses with how it wasn't like this in our day!

You speak for yourself... I'll be retired in 30 years alright but certainly not in a home full of nurses! (unless I win the lottery anytime soon & then I'll have a whole plethora of nurses giving me medication)

State pensions will be worth fook all anyway.... All about having a decent company/personal one.

Still go raving now if thats what you want to call it,still looking for that old skool room with the vibe from back in the day but never find it, may be my mind will not take it as its never going to happen.
but we all live in hope thats why we all play the lotto(living in hope)

I will never grow out of oldskool to many good times went on and life is about remembering the good times

almost 20 years............and I'm still spending most days compiling Old Skool lists and hunting for audio of tunes I've never heard; trying to ID tunes that have driven me near mad not knowing what they are for this long..........discovering "New Skool" Hardcore that sounds like Old Skool Hardcore!! I'm 35 and when I run around the garden for a few mins with one of my dogs, my knees play up and my back hurts and I'm sucking major air and need a respiratory implement to help me breathe!!!

Seriously....no. Probably not until the moment I feel actually "old".....I hope that day never comes. I've seen what age does to people; and my Nan (whose in her Nineties now...) was old before her time; probably late 30s....she was like a Gran then. The music isn't just the key to our youth, it's the key to our survival. The endorphins and feelings it releases in the brain probably provides key stimulation in keeping us from deteriorating into those future-vegetables that some of the Oldies in my care home have become......where life has simply worn them down and their enjoyments have gone or they just simply worked too hard and had no outlet (other than perhaps booze!).

So for me....I won't stop listening until it no longer appeals to me......and judging by the way I pitch up tunes and mix like a hotheaded 16-year old; not anytime soon!!! Carpe diem!!!!!!!!
