And the very small invisible section that reads classic rock radio station.
That’s where I reside.
You forgot Guitar Hero.
… what about rock band/guitar hero? haha
My thoughts exactly.
Where’s the slice that says “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”? Because I’m in that slice.
Agreed, Tony hawks introduced me to ACDC. Though I was only 8 or something at the time.
CUZ IM TEE N TEE
Totally false. I’m 18 and I knew every Glee song before it was on Glee. Whoever made this graph is obviously the “OMG i <3 Justin Bieber" type and therefore unfamiliar with GOOD music.
I knew all of the Glee songs too because my parents played them. I’m just saying that the majority of the kids who watch Glee learn old music from there.
Oh, and I hate Justin Bieber. Check it before you wreck it.
So you are the maker of this graph? Where is the “Guitar Hero/Rock Band” option, then?
That could technically go under the “friends” slice. You usually are with another person while playing Guitar Hero, right? Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t own the game.
Not necessarily. I tend to play Guitar Hero solo, because of the fact that my mum was a bit of a drifter of sorts making organising stuff with friends difficult for the first 16 years of my life (I’m 16 and a half now, so… yeah.). I generally play games solo, or not at all.
People who like to watch Glee and call themselves “gleeks” are all just a bunch of stupid hipsters.
I’m 18 too, and I listen to ‘old’ music (from the 50s to the 80s) but I don’t know what Glee is… (I’m from Spain…) I listen to this kind of music mostly because of my parents and my uncle.
1.Anyone who doesn’t know those songs is an IDIOT, the whole point is the songs are quite popular.
2. Glee is S**T (I just thought everyone should know that)
Yes and yes.
^This.
the 80′s were sooooooooooooo long ago
30 years ago…. I’d say they can be called old songs now.
nope, 1980 was 30 years ago, the 80′s are 21-30 years ago
Great, now I feel old…
Just a shame that the stars of Glee don’t appear to have actually listened to the original songs before ruining them, if their performances are anything to go by.
Oh, and you missed out Professor Green (if I ever get my hands on him, he will pay for what he did to INXS’s “Need You Tonight”…)
I’m 14, and I have friends who consider music that’s been around for more than two years to be oldies. It’s really quite sad…
i definitely agree but the new songs you get tired of so quickly and they stay on the radio for 2-3 years so they just get old but young poeple like that are just finding out about old music you know so old for us (teenagers and kids) isnt the same for our parents and grand-parents you know?
uhh no.
But Laura, I know what you talking about. Until I moved out of homeschooling, I didn’t know any modern (90′s-present) music. I’ve grown up with classic rock from the 60′s 70′s and 80′s. I hate when people are like, “The 60′s were soooo loong ago.” No they’re not, 41-50 years ago is not that old.
Thank you! I was told numerous times that I only listened to “oldies” during the school year. Why? Because I mentioned that I liked classic punk- as in, from the 70′s. There is still good modern music, just the majority of it isn’t popular.
I think that’s great, to be honest. I’m not into modern music at all, so I listen to older music by default, but some people don’t have the sense to look into old music by themselves. The more things that broaden the horizon of my culturally limited generation the better, in my opinion.
What’s Glee?
*puts on ZZ Top’s La Grange*
*shakes you by the hand*
From what I can gather from the comments section, it’s like American Idol except with high school kids and manufactured drama?
So… completely unwatchable, I would imagine.
You misgathered. It’s a comedy/drama tv series about a high school showchoir club.
I’m in the small portion of Beavis and Butthead fans who saw reruns of them on MTV. I know, most of the music they had was from the 90s, but they had KISS, The Ramones, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Motorhead on there.
But glee is the root of all evil.
And I don’t need a stupid show to ruin the music I’ve listened to since I was a kid with their prepubescent voices.
*hi-fives.* Freakin PoS show.
‘Cept I didn’t listen to that music as a kid necessarily; my music taste just grew as I did.
Plus my Dad loves classic rock, and always played some on long trips.
Glee absolutely ruined dont stop believing. and it disgusts me that some people singing that song dont even know who journey is. i hate glee so much, and i want to strangle all those little idiots who sing these stupid pop choir songs.
The only reason I watch the show is for the storylines. The songs are terrible, especially Don’t Stop Believing.
Yeah… I had that stuck in my head one day, and was kind of humming it, when someone said, “Oh, you watch Glee?”
It made me want to go on a rant about how Don’t Stop Believing existed before Glee… but I just said, “No,” and walked on.
To the maker of this graph: You really shouldn’t stereotype an entire generation based on your own narrow taste in music.
I’ve just noticed that most kids hear old music from the show, and I really didn’t mean every single child living in this generation does! I obviously know that kids can also hear old music somewhere beside Glee. My God people, it’s a graph! It’s supposed to be FUNNY!
You know what would be awesome though?
A PSA featuring The Wall.
yes.
By this point, it ain’t exactly a stereotype. Have you conversed with some of these Glee-obsessed idiots?
Congratulations, Erin. You just captured the entire decade in one still image.
I’m not arguing that a lot of my generation watches Glee, but there are also plenty of us who liked that music long before Glee came along and made it “popular” again.
I learn old songs from the Solid Gold Oldies station from Music Choice.
You forgot Fallout 3.
Damn! I was just going to mention that.
BioShock has its own fair share of old music, too.
Hell yes.
Damn, most of the people that listened to that music are dead by now, but even then some of it is better than whatever these “musicians” churn out with autotune.
I don’t hate Glee because of the jokes, or the fanbase, or the auto-tuned musical numbers.. I hate Glee because of the fact that it’s bringing back a low point in music, 1980′s pop-rock.
That ’70s show is soo last decade (2000-2009).
This saddens me. A lot. I’m mean, I wasn’t around for most of the good music, but I picked it up from my parents. I’d say even Guitar Hero is better to learn of music from than Glee
Guys, you do know that by covering these songs, Glee is making a lot of money for the original bands?
In the UK both the original and the Glee version of “Don’t Stop Believing” were in the top 40 for a while when Glee first start. I’m pretty sure there are other examples too. So although I’m not a big fan of all the cheese that Glee put into the songs, I wouldn’t call it a bad thing that they’re doing it, because at least it get’s the songs out

P.S. Sue Sylvester is a LEDGE.
WTF? Glee? No I would say probably from video games, who even watches Glee? lol.
I’m gonna agree with you, just because I like your profile picture.
Gee. I’m 14, and I had never heard of a lot of music that was on Glee. Maybe a lot of older people know the music, but I am far more musically inclined after watching the first season of Glee. I’m more open to different generes of music, especially showtunes. I love showtunes. I hated them before I watched Glee, and now I love them, so, I thank Glee. <3
Old? How old are we talking here?
I got most of my old-ass songs from the game Bioshock.
Glee can suck it.
I actually like Glee, and thanks to it I found songs I had heard before but didn’t know their name/couldn’t remember the lyrics.
I really can’t stand glee, I love songs from the eighties, and i’m thirteen.
*also shakes you by the hand*
Does it really matter how old you are?
it shouldn’t, but people seem to think it should. go to any youtube page featuring rock of any kind, you WILL find someone who brags that they listen to this music even though they are x age.
Boy, that’s… that’s just annoying.
Nah, I completely resent this…
I’m 17 now, and I didn’t find good music (30-80s)through any of those… And Glee pretty much sucks…
You forgot about VH1 Classic. That’s where I learned about it when I was 15. I’ve never watched Glee and I never want to.
1.)Anyone who hates Glee=Conservative
Conservative=Moron
Anyone who hates Glee=Moron
2.)1989 and older:90% OLDIES(Old, Uncool and Crappy) 10% LEGENDS (Old and good, but still not beter than the 90′s)
1990-1999:90′s(Newer and better than the OLDIES, while being better than 2000′s)
2000-2005:”Good” modern music
2006-2009:90% Sh*t,10% Legend
2010:Return of good music(Except Ke$ha and Bieber)
All you need to know about Pop Music, OLDIES, 90′s, Glee and the EVIL CONSERVATIVES(DESTROY THEM!).
So it’s war ye want?!
(actually, come to think of it, a lot of my favorite “80′s bands” are just mature 70′s bands. All I remember being distinctly 80′s is things like MC Hammer. Even MJ was around before the 80′s, wasn’t he?*)
*I checked. He’s just barely before the 89′s so it counts. Also, his music rocked, even if he refined the concept of Uncle Creepy to a new level.
*80′s
Damn it, I spell checked, too.
Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a Conservatist?
And so was most of the anti-slavery activists.
So you are basically saying, that slavery is good.
See, I can use your own “logic” against you.
*facepalm* it makes me really sad that the one person actually bothering to defend glee has to do it in such an idiotic* manner, making other fans of the show look bad.
1) politics have zero to do with this. they do not affect a person’s taste in music, or in television. for all you know, there could be plenty of conservatives who love glee, and liberals who hate it.
not to mention: expressing CAPSLOCKY HATE against any one group just makes you sound like a closed-minded moron.
2) i think most people over 25 would disagree with you. and “oldies” =/= uncool, all it means is old. trying to pass off your own personal tastes as THE LAW on what’s cool is just stupid and pointless.
i hope people will not think that ALL glee fans are like this. :C
—————————————————————–
* i am not necessarily calling YOU an idiot (maybe you are and maybe you aren’t, i don’t know you). i am simply stating that your BEHAVIOR is idiotic.
don’t forget FALLOUT 3!
You forgot Guitar Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u forgot one important option; on their own (which is how i discovered it)
Not to mention other bands/music.
