What's the age criteria for being disparaging about Fontaines DC?

Presumably over 35?

They were still very much indie darlings at the time, then they tried to become U2 with Only By The Night. 

Someone should have told them never to go full Bono

I probably was the only person there over 35 when I saw them in the Rabbit Hole on the Sunday night.

And you saw them in the Rabbit Hole and still want to be disparaging about them? I think we may have narrowed down our cut off point to somewhere between 34 and you

I’m 38 and I love them.

Although I’m no longer sure what to make of that.

Ok so somewhere between 38 and CalGon?

Although I reckon @Supernintendo Chalmers might have something to add...

At least now we know everyones ages  ..... perhaps everyone can stand in a line oldest to youngest at the efest meet so we know which bands they are likely to be going to ?

being 54 is allowed these days

I am 54 and they were my highlight of the festival.

Is that even allowed?

Absolutely not 

[Matt42]

I’m 23 and I couldn’t name a single song by them. But I don’t listen to that type of music and I feel no shame in being out of touch with it.

Nope I was 49 and rammed into the back of that tent at was it 3am Sunday night, I'd finished in the T&C dancing my socks off and legged it across to the Park with two 'younger lovely generation; who we'd never met before but they wanted to come along as 'apparently we were who they'd been looking for the entire festival :-)' , and I ended up squeezing my way into the back of the tent with 3 lads in gold suits who sent an inflatable duck crowdsurfing. The back of that tent has a dip downwards so I could only see the backs of everyones heads, and it was ssooo hot and rammed and absolutely brilliant :-)

Thank god you put the oldest at the front, I have trouble standing at the back of a long drop queue., always thought there should be a fast track long drop queue like theme parks have for anyone over 50. 😁

[CaledonianGonzo]

Whatever happened to Shame anyway?

age is but a number .... unless you are in a bar scrum ...  ... many people older than myself will have significantly more sprightliness than me when it comes to the latter stages of the festival

Yep. At least another 4 years on Mr Jass. Although I like to count my age by seasons of the Simpsons. Anything beyond s16 is a travesty

I can see it happening on JP stage. There wern’t any/many last year though were there? Eavis said they were stopping or doing less secret sets.

23? You’re too old for Billie Eilish.

Because Courteeners aren’t in any way comparable to Billie. Newer artists such as Billie, Ezra, Lizzo etc can achieve great things but they get labelled as ‘flash in the pan’. I just don’t like it. People are just weirdly critical of popular artists and I don’t get it.

’A dilettante is someone who can’t tell the difference between fashion and style’

 

Thank fuck for fontaines.

Also, these examples are bs, Lizzo is well loved on these forums and i don’t see anybody suggesting her or Billie Eilish are flash in the pan, they clearly offer something different.

But when you go on about George Ezra or the 1975 being good, who are dogshit to anybody with ears, be they old or young, or when you suggest Bieber as headliner of glastonbury, then expect disagreement.

I’m 28, so there isnt such a huge difference in age between us. I agree that there is so much contemporary music that is great and most people on the forums do, its a forum of music lovers of all ages and I guess they’re mostly highly interested and curious about new music as most music lovers are. From what I’ve observed I’d say you are the one who seems narrow minded about new music, with a taste seemingly limited largely to chart music and whatever is popular right now.

I pray that glastonbury always retains its eccentric aging hippy core. Fuck coachella and fuck anybody who wants to turn glastonbury into coachella.

In fairness the Rabbit Hole at 3am on the final night of a festival they have already played thrice over the weekend probably isn’t the time to be expecting much from any band.
