Spotify or Youtube and hit random on any RnB playlist.
If you don't actively listen to different acts..... then you won't hear different acts.
They were joking ??

I listen to plenty of random acts via spotify (well deezer in my case), maybe its a genre thing. I am not generally mad into rap or RNB.
I dont think age thing is a cop out at all, genuinely how many people my age (37) and up would know songs by a lot of these acts?
I see this line thrown about alot in this forum so i just thought i'd discuss.
We're almost in the same age bracket, i'm ever so slightly your junior.
But there is nothing stopping anyone of a reasonable age 4+ with working fingers listening to any music.
I guess the point is using age as an excuse of not being able to access music just isn't plausible any more. Now I can understand when it's used as a throw away joke but in your case you're confirming that you geniunely don't know these music acts and you're attributing this to age.
i'd reckon the scenario that is more likey is that you're not 'generally mad' into RnB or Rap.
I used to be the same, then realised that fests were inching away from my tastes. Now having listened to different things I can appreciate it.
If I had Deezer i'd offer a small easily accessible playlist to you to get you going. But I just have spotify; although the offer is there.

The genre thing is defo part of if alright.0 -
Christ I am getting old I have literally heard of 5 of them
This is what you said.
'I am not using age as an excuse at all, it's just as I said I think most people my age and up wouldn't know most of these artists imo, would you disagree? '
I honestly don't know what the trends are for people's music tastes these days. So I can't comment on that.
All I know is that yes the audience for Longitude is quite young.
But then you have similar music at Forbidden Fruit and the age group is older.0 -

Its a well known fact (or theory that I'm just making up as I go along) that people's taste in music stops at age 28.
For me it was Oxegen 2008: Killers, Kings of Leon, Muse, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Interpol, Biffy Clyro, Daft Punk, The National, Queens of the Stone Age.
Still makes up 75% of the music I listen to regularly
It is a nice time loop that you're caught in though. 0 -

Oooh I dunno. Its a toss up really between the shoddy set up, the heavy handed understaffed security, the fights, people setting tents on fire, the stabbings and the rapes.
Witnness was alright. Oxegen quickly descended into something from southern Poland in the early 1940s. Headliner ends and immediately all the lights go up, security screaming "BACK TO THE CAMP SITES" in your face and the lad on the tannoy barking instructions about going back to your tent via the blue route and so on ad nauseum. At 11pm.
In 2006 I closely experienced an incident which would now be considered sexual assault and saw security do nothing about it. This was far from an isolated case but then MCD closed down their own message boards and sued this very website and the Indo so people couldn't express what a shítshow it had become. But you're ok with that. Thats called a cover up. As a result, the same thing happened in 2007. And 2008. And 2011. MCD did nothing about it.
Its MCD not bothering to employ enough staff. Same as Slane.0 -

You couldn't imagine the stuff I'm listening to with a 12 yr old music mad daughter !!
Most of it is pure rubbish, some is good pop, and some is quite good.
Ive been to Slayer ,Megadeth, etc, and last year I was at Taylor Swift, and after her music being on in the car- I actually enjoyed it.
Also, Panic at the Disco would have been a band I would say "C0ck Rock" about, but once again, herself and her 9yr old brother are mad into them... and we are going to see them in Paris, and I'm looking forward to it more than them !
Great music is out there, sometimes you find it, other times you are made find it

Well this is a discussion about the bands playing the festival. Was that awful every year? My first witnness was in 2000 and my last Oxegen was 2009, I didn't miss one in between.0 -
