Have you ever had someone 40+ listen to dubstep? Ever introduce your grandpa to Mala or Burial?

I haven't myself...but just curious to know if a genre so young and fresh would appeal to someone of age. Would they appreciate the low end frequencies, melodies, atmosphere, and wonderful percussion of some proper tunes?

I reckon some older people that were into rootsy dub and reggae wouldnt mind some dubstep tracks.

lol

My 65 year old dad just asked me to make him a mix of Shackleton tunes

yes loads of them..you think no 30 year olds or even 20 year olds liked jungle?

My Dad was feelin Headhunters album, My Demons by Distance and Dubstep Allstars 2 and he is in his 60's. That's all i've ever had the opportunity to test on him though.

My dad (60) likes Youngsta's Rinse CD He said it's very relaxing (meditate to bassweight!)

My dad is a Silkie fanboy

My dad (almost 40) likes a bit of Loefah and Distance, dont think ive shown him much else though, My mum says she cant stand it, although shes bullshitting a bit, I can tell, some of the more percussive, melodic tracks I play dont involve a big shout 'TURN IT DOWN!' shes vibin to it, Closet dubbstepper

My parents won't like it all. In fact the only thing in my music collection that my family ever appreciates is Massive Attack.

However I do have a friend in her mid 40's that LOVES Kingdom, Girl Unit, assorted juke music, etc. She also started loving dubstep and bmore club before it got pretty popular.

yes he counts for every old person ever

My dad does all the mastering for my label, and he's 55. He loves almost all the music I send him, from minimal rollers to downright abusive stuff. To be fair though, he's been in a metal band and an engineer longer than most of you have been alive.

I also just sent some of my stuff to a sales rep that deals with the company I work for. She loved it and gave it to everyone in her office....It's pretty melodic, so I think it's appealing to a wide range of music lovers.

ETA: My pops will actually go to shows because he loves the bass on a big system so much

A while back my dad asked me to burn him a cd with Burial, Guido, Synkro, Phaeleh, Scuba, Mount Kimbie, basically all nice 'chilled' tunes I had, so that he could listen to the tunes in the car.

I know a woman, who has to be pushing 80 at this point, who has been to every rave at this one club that I've been to since I was 15. She was there for Hip/hop, Jungle, Minimal, Techno, Electro and now Dubstep, although I only hit the scene from Minimal onwards.

I know my parents can't deal with heavy bass at all. I wonder if I'll hate the music the next generation will listen to...

i think the older people really like the chilled dubstep tunes

A good friend who turned 60 last year turned me onto dubstep back in '06.

Yes i do like Dubstep

My 45 year old mum asked me what I was listening to when I was playing Burial - Southern Comfort and she actually liked it.

thats wassup, would've never thought so many old heads would dig it... but makes sense since the sounds are irresistible

My friend's dad likes Skrillex.
Skrillex is the only modern musician who's music he enjoys.
