Why do some people nowadays prefer to listen to old songs rather than current ones?

This question hits home for me. Although I have just passed my prime, my favorite songs span far beyond my age. I like songs from the 50s and 60s, songs from the 70s and 80s from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even more so songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 90s, and songs from the 10s, but not so much songs from the present.

From my personal experience, I think there are several reasons why some people like old songs now.

The first point is that people tend to be particularly attached to something from their youth. The more time passes, the deeper this feeling will be. It is possible that a song back then will leave a special impression in one's mind and will remind one of a certain unforgettable time. Those songs have long been y embedded in one's mind, and that wonderful melody is hard to forget easily. At first, I didn't know the meaning of the song, but when I listened to it again, I was the person in the song. Perhaps it is this classic song carved down the original ignorant teenagers, record the absurdity of youth. I can't help but think that this is the best of us," he said, "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

Secondly, when we talk about old songs, we tend to add the word "classic". Many songs are like fine wine, the longer the time, the more flavorful. After the baptism of time, the years of lead, only to show the classic nature. Back then may be the same as now, produced a lot of songs, but most of the songs may be garbage songs, soon to be drowned in time, and our memory of the song may be that era of the results of the big waves of sand, is the winner of the song. The most iconic songs of the era that have been passed down naturally become classics, and naturally deserve to be listened to over and over again in a loop. Today, on the other hand, is right in the middle of a huge number of songs bursting forth together, and the classic songs have yet to win, giving people a feeling of mudslinging. Many people can be reluctant to listen to these songs.

Third, some of the older songs are of higher quality. The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were a period of concentrated outbreaks of songs in China and even in the world, a period in which many classic songs appeared in China and abroad. These classic songs, no matter in the song in the song melody, or in the lyrics on the filling can be superior. During this period, there were many popular songs such as Luo Dayou's songs and Li Zongsheng's songs. Luo Dayou belongs to his own era carved y into the interior, with an image to create our "childhood", with their own love and hate to the lover to show "your look", with a sweet and hazy love to compose the "love song 1990". Li Zongsheng drummed up our "courage" to "ask" you whether "understand my heart", "across the ocean to see you" after the original "when love has become a thing of the past", only to realize that "I finally lost you". The original self has been full of "wounds", with "to their own song" to write my heart "realization", what makes me "obsessed", still want to do your "true hero".

As the excellent songs of that era centered on the outbreak of various fields, various styles of songs to flourish, and enter the new century after the Chinese songs gradually towards the decline. The overall quality of songs now is far inferior to that era. In those days, there were a group of music producers who were dedicated to creating music, and they used their youth and passion to compose the hymn of life for us. Nowadays, there is no lack of good music producers, but more musicians are very utilitarian and create a lot of fast food music, the quality is not guaranteed, and many songs have simple melodies, shallow lyrics, and lack of content that is not worth remembering. There is also a saying that the 70s, 80s and 90s songs focused on the explosion, most of the beautiful melody is written, so now the music is lack of creativity.

Fourth, the era saw the emergence of a number of exceptionally talented singers. The Rolling Stones and PolyGram supported the entire Chinese music scene, and the Tan and Zhang's heated battle for supremacy ignited the enthusiasm of the times. Teresa Teng sang her soft music into your heart, Jacky Cheung spoke of life's sadness, Liu Huan sang the shouts of the times, and Wei Wei sang the most beautiful Asia. In addition, there are a large number of very good singers such as Chen Shu Hua, Gao Shengmei, Pan Meichen, Jay Chou, Shui Mu Nian Yi, Qi Qin, Zhang Yu, Wu Bai, Lin Yilian, Faye Wong, etc. Nowadays, there is a lack of such excellent singers to sing in the music industry. Nowadays, there is a lack of such excellent singers to go around. Many singers do not have a high level of professionalism, and even anyone can sing. Some people sing, act and do variety shows, resulting in embarrassing acting and singing. It is difficult for singers with low professional standards to sing classic songs, and now there are not many classic songs, but many sacred songs.

The old songs are like fine wine, when we savor the taste of wine, we know the taste of life. The old songs are like a time capsule that holds our beautiful memories and tells us about our youth. The old song is like an old friend worthy of our careful understanding, worthy of our slowly to the heart.

Compared with most of my peers, I'm 00, I don't like to listen to those mouth-watering songs, I'll put it this way, if someone told Jack Hsu to sing a cat call I want to kill him.

I personally like the ancient style of a class, but also like some of the classic old songs, what: lonely sandbar cold, spring, summer, autumn and winter, sailors, the love of his life, etc., like the singer has Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, Qi Qin, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Hacken Lee; Mak Jie Wen, Ye Qianwen, Chen Hui Xian, Lin Yilian, Faye Wong, Vivienne Chou, Guan Shuyi.

I don't like to listen to old songs, mainly because I didn't reach that age, I can't appreciate the real meaning of these lyrics.

I like to listen to old songs, but also like to sing old songs, there is a period of time often go to the ktv to sing.

Of course I like to listen. There should be a great relationship between the people who sing old songs and their age. That even if the good old songs, I'm afraid that a considerable part of the young people still do not like. I like the old songs, first of all, I am the 60's. 80's is the rise of pop songs, then we often go to the square in the evening, a group of groups of people together, in the middle of a tape recorder, playing pop music. Later, there were a lot of karaoke stalls at night, where you could sing a song for 2 dollars, which was very popular, and you had to wait in line after you paid the money. The songs, such as Country Roads, Small Town Stories, Hometown Clouds, Intimate Lovers, Fifteen Moons, Albatross, Our World, and so on, were all catchy old classics. We knew them all by heart at that time. Later on, we all started our own families and were busy making money, so we had less time to sing. The newer the songs, the less time and energy we had to learn to sing them.

So people in our age prefer to sing old songs, as long as the music is playing, you can sing. Nowadays, we still occasionally go to KTV to sing.

Let's talk about my own feelings, now 18 years old, just a short while into adulthood.

I think listening to old songs may be thought of sentiment, because the past days are very nostalgic, or because a person fell in love with a song, when you hear this old song again, all of a sudden think of the wind and rain of the young time, think of him or her, and think of him or her, and think of him or her, and think of him or her, and think of him or her, and think of him or her, and think of him or her.

Or again just started to think that like to listen to old songs is in nostalgia, in picking up the year did not catch things, in fact, is to grow up after the loneliness makes it. It is not that we like to listen to old songs, but like to listen to the songs as we grow older.

And also feel that some of the old songs are more flavorful (especially those in Hong Kong and Taiwan), nowadays pop songs always feel too pompous, do not know what to sing and what to express, feel too much self-exhibition weight is not heavy quality can not be in the emotional **** Ming.

There are also special hate singers sing when dancing, I came to listen to the song to feel the singer's state of mind, not let you tease me. These people we become artists, artists for the commercial market and live, in order to attract people's attention, can not adhere to the moral and legal bottom line.

Every singer deserves respect, provided you are a singer.

Like the 90's Hong Kong and Taiwan Mandarin version of the song, when there is no little fresh meat, lyrics, style is very people into the mood, the singers between the spelling is singing, the quality of the work.
