To think that a 60 year old should not like a One Direction song

[Oldsu]

To be fair I didn't know it was them DH is in the other room watching TV and I heard singing, I like this I thought, who is it, thinking that DH (a music buff) was watching a music channel, went and had a look, bloody 1D on Jonathan Ross , they are young enough to be my Grandsons I should NOT even contemplate listening to them let alone liking the flaming song.

Am I going senile

PS shall download it onto my IPOD

It doesn't matter. If it's liked it's liked.

[Destinysdaughter]

Music is timeless. And Harry is still hot even tho I'm old enough to be his mother..!

[wowfudge]

Hmm - it's not the one where they sing the word 'rendezvous' as though it's two completely separate words is it? Irritates me every time I hear it.

[squoosh]

You should hang your head in shame.

Go listen to some Perry Como and repent your sins.

[Tapirs]

YABU you should be listening through your ear trumpet from your bath chair at 60

[CocktailQueen]

Why on earth not?!

[GiddyOnZackHunt]

What else is in his record collection? Is this a pattern of poor judgement or a one off moment?

[mrsmilktray]

Shouldn't you be listening to it on a casette player at your age?

[timelytess]

Its ok to like music made by young people. I'm 58, and I occasionally do, so I know you're ok on that one. But you shouldn't notice that Harry Styles has lovely shoulders. No.
If you need some young blood, Oldsu, listen to Hozier. The music is so much better. And the boy is beautiful. In a grandson-ly kind of way, of course.

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Nobody should like a One Direction song.

So, YANBU. It's time to get help :p

[Junosmum]

I'm almost old enough to be harry style mum, but I'd totally go there. Don't like their music though.

[Stratter5]

I'm 50 in two years time. :(

[Topseyt]

I like it. I am nearly 50. Probably old enough to be the mother of them rather than grandmother, but hey-ho.

[MakeItRain]

Well I'm also probably almost old enough to be their Grannie but I do like lots of One Direction songs. However, after reading your post I looked up the latest one and obviously am showing my age because I hate these lyrics. To me it screams "I'd just like a one night stand and if you're ok with that you're perfect" and all I can think is "for goodness sake mythical girl he's singing to, tell him to get lost and find someone who likes you a lot more than that". Oh well. I guess they're not really targeting my age group with their songs.

[Oldsu]

MakeItRain - that's not the words of the one I like which is called Drag Me Down been looking at the video, DH thinks I have gone mad.

It will be on my Ipod (as soon as I find my glasses so I can plug it into my computer).

Mind you I remember loving the Monkees seems my musical taste has not evolved in over 40 years - Harry is very pretty isn't he

[m1nniedriver]

I love this thread!!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Ybvvvvvvvvvvvu. I had a great aunt, who followed the charts and current music until she died aged 71 in 2004. You carry on enjoying 1D's music. It'll keep you young.

I used to do hospital radio in a hospital which mainly catered for older people. We played an awful lot of Neil Diamond but there would be many requests for current boy bands. When we went round the wards the attitude was often "we're allowed to like this too you know!"

I loved doing the ward rounds for requests, made the show much ore interesting.

'It's a rest home,not a disco'

That'll be why she wasn't living with the thief-of-joy daughter then
