You don't have to be hanging out with kids listening to new music lol. If you mean going to gigs then I go and see new bands and you'd be surprised by the age of some of the fans, granted they might be the parents lol, but no way am I going to care about that, i'm there for me no-one else, why miss out?. A festival and a few gigs a year is ok, plenty of people who love music don't go to gigs at all. Have to say though despite loving to hear new music, the gigs i got to are probably 80% older groups.
