EphraimAdamz Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 When I play at clubs it seems like this.... 3-8 Months (Must Play) 1 Year (Hits but not necessity) 2-9 Years (Do not play, consider old, tired of hearing) 10-15 years (Throwback) 16-25 Years (Oldie but goodie) It's like once a song enters that 2-5ish territory no one wants to hear it. I tend to get frowns when I drop something from 2004-2009 era. But go just a year or two before that and its like "eh, throwback!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I say at about 7-10 years, but that doesn't mean I don't still want to hear it. If it's a great song then I'm into it regardless of how old it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 2 years.. If a song is two years old and the club is playin it. Then the DJ is wack Like don't go playing a song from 2011 unless it was massively successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyHood Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Pop songs tend to get older quickly for me--they sound old after 3-5 years. I think it's because I listen to them more often than those from different genre (rock, alternative, etc.). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tend to feel pop dates itself more than more acclaimed genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyHood Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 That's the criticism with pop music though. People tend to feel pop dates itself more than more acclaimed genres. Maybe that's because pop music is very volatile and changes rapidly as well. We had bubblegum pop in the late 90s/early 2000s, "urban pop" (ala Usher, Alicia, Beyonce) during the mid-2000s, then right now dance is everywhere. Obviously songs during the boy band/early Britney and her clones era sound dated. You won't get that when you compare rock songs by Coldplay or Kings Of Leon from the last decade and now.

Kishi Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Any song that came out more than 20 years ago is considered old to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphraimAdamz Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Any song that came out more than 20 years ago is considered old to me. So no more Control album for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishi Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So no more Control album for you? I listen to Parade often, Prince's album from that same year. I like 80's music. But Control is a different case, it burned out on me. I'd rather hear stuff from Rhythm Nation or her debut album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So no more Control album for you? Just bc something is old doesn't mean we stop listening to it But as a DJ, you should know the where the line of old begins and ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 well I have to go with what makes me NOT want to hear a song even after I know I liked it....and that's once its been played the fuck out, THEN it's old....ladies and gentlemen I present a receipt...."Blurred Lines" I don't give nary a fuck if its less than a year, that song has been spun more than a stripper on a pole on Saturday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. If it's songs that were released less than a year ago, I wouldn't want to hear that and "Can't Hold Us" anymore. I like songs from 2 year and more, but if a DJ plays "Party Rock Anthem", "I Gotta Feeling", "California Gorls", "Give Me Everything", or "Love The Way You Lie", it's going to be a problem. Those are SO PLAYED OUT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
