Music doesn't really require whether the person's a young person or old person for whatever kind of music it is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think music should be experienced by people all ages.
Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.
Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.
The whole music world is based on the young, the very young people.
People my age don't always know where their music comes from.
From being a teacher and educator, I see the state of the music through the eyes of an 18-year-old coming on to the scene, and we want to make sure it stays intact. With my generation, it's our duty to do that.
Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
In the music world, ageism is a big issue. It's about youth and youth culture. There's no other art form that I know that requires you to be a certain age.
The music I write, I feel, is not the kind of music for a 25-year-old.
