The Weekend

Everybody's working for the Weeknd!

I don’t know what that music is called, as I only listened for the first minute before I turned it off.  If I had to guess, I would say Pop but who knows.  It is not we older people that have strange music taste, it’s the children of today.  Many of these phenomenons don’t play any instruments or write their own songs.   I never really cared for pop or as we called it in my youth, bubblegum music.  I am Rock guy, real Rock, jazz and some Classical.  I like certain female vocalists, but not Lady Ga Ga.  Today’s youth seem to care more about the choreography than the actual music.  Growing up, you never saw Hendrix, The Who, Tull, Floyd, etc with dancers behind them.   
Well, this old guy is going to take a nap now. 

Now, if you like to hear and watch something modern and really good. Find Avicii Tribute Concert on youtube. Large orchestra.

BTW, I’m 68. OP.

And, thank you, as always, tomic

With the exception of John Williams, how many classical music artists do you know that write their own stuff? Michael Jackson didn’t play an instrument. Lots of rock singers barely do.

The Weeknd writes his own songs and has some collaborations.

Among the world’s best-selling music artists, with over 75 million records sold,[11] The Weeknd has won three Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, nine Juno Awards, and has been nominated for an Academy Award.

Also a net worth of $100M.

You may not like him, but obviously talented.
