Music Memories #2

I interviewed my grandma on my stepdad’s side of the family, who is very into the music she listened to when she was younger.  She told me that she was a huge fan of Neil Diamond, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, The Beatles and The Beach boys. Being a big fan of music she attended a lot of concerts and said that they were the best times of her life besides marriage and having her two kids. Her taste for music has not changed over time because the music at that time grew on her and today’s music is so different than it was back then, making it is really rare for someone 50+ to like music from our generation today.  She stated that our generation doesn’t listen to music, we listen to garbage and began to say how music back in the day had a purpose compared to the music today which she says is all about girls, drugs, money and cars. Throughout me asking her questions about the music she listened to back in the day, she kept bagging on modern hip hop. Over time I have begun to like a variety of different music because that is the type of person I am which is completely different from my grandma, since she is stuck in the 1980’s and down era.
