In about 30 years, some senior citizens in retirement homes will be listening to gangster rap and grunge music. amirite?

I agree. But also this reminds me of a funny story. I use to work at a retirement home, and one resident would walk the halls everyday holding a boombox and play the same song over and over again everyday…what's the song you ask? Ghostbusters theme song 😆

Some say they're still playing that boom box to this day.

Run DMC was an early 80's group. There's conceivably some people in their 80's that were fans back then and still rocking out to King of Rock in a retirement home.

Gen X, the first generation to appreciate video gaming as a whole, are in their mid-50s now. Thus, I expect nursing homes to equip these elders with Ataris, NES's and soon Sega Genesis consoles.

I was told I would grow out of my Metal phase in my teens. I'm 36 and as into as ever, I'm sure I'll still be listening at 66.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Lol I was told the same thing. I'm 51 and probably one of the most "metal" dudes you could ever meet but don't look it because I wear a suit and tie every day. When I'm not working I've got a drawer full of band t-shirts that I wear.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Awesome. You certainly validate my point. What are some bands you are into?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Definitely mellowed out over the years, still get the urge once in a while to throw some on and crank it

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Yeah so did I. I still listen daily but I'm a "normal" adult you could say. The days of being in a serious band are over but I'd do it for fun if the right people came along.

When my late grandmother was living in her retirement community, my sister and I came and performed a bunch of music for them… Great American songbook stuff. Sinatra. Show tunes. Etc. As I was standing up there singing, I was thinking about how one day I'll be living in a nursing home and the activities director is going to hire someone to come in and play Toto, Huey Lewis, Van Halen, and a-Ha songs for us. We'll all smile from our wheelchairs and clap on the first and third beats.

When I worked in a screen printing shop in the 90s out of high-school, my white, female boss, married to a retired logger and mechanic in a redneck town listened to NWA, 2 Live Crew and such with some Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd in the morning. It started me listening to rap and hip-hop from time to time while I work. I like to imagine that if she went into a retirement home she didn't give that up.

Grunge music was big like 30 years ago. Some 90's hipsters already in retirements homes.

Gangster rap came out in the late 80's early 90's. There's no reason a 30 year old in the 80's, that loved gangster rap, that is now in their 70's would love listening to it in their retirement home.
