100 ageist popular music lyrics

As in "Old people suck, only young people count - old people should just lie down and die". I strongly dislike this type of lyrics. To me they are almost as bad as racist or homophobic lyrics.

1. Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry
2. I'd Rather Jack - Reynolds Girls
3. Hey DJ, I can't dance (to that music you're playing) - Beatmasters Feat. Betty Boo
4. My Generation - The Who
5. Your Generation - Generation X

The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan

my back pages - dylan

9 (?). Nilsson-"I'd Rather Be Dead" (bonus points for the old folks choir)

"Roll Over Beethoven" is more homophobic than ageist

It's Still Rock and Roll To Me - Billy Joel (reverse ageism)

Your Mama Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock and Roll

Also reverse ageism: Rock & Roll Never Forgets

Oh and the Cure, I Want to Be Old

Kevin Coyne - "Eastbourne Ladies"

they only want u when ur 17~~~

Old Folks at Home

Another reverser: Hey Nineteen

It's Still Rock and Roll To Me - Billy Joel (reverse ageism)

More like a defense against widespread ageism in society if you ask me. "Hey Nineteen" could pass as reverse ageist though.

only on the surface, but I think the point is that the old dude is creepy and pathetic for going home with a 19 yr old, and he knows it, and hey pass the cocaine, ok that's better.

it's not ageist at all, it's anti-creepy cokey dude

Reverse ageist: What's the Matter With Kids Today? (from Bye Bye Birdie). Both: the Kids/Adults medley from the brilliant 10th season of the Simpsons (based on the Bye Bye Birdie song).

Maybe the same girl he spoke about in "Everyone's Gone To The Movies" 5 years earlier? :)

that reef song

Could be. But before you smile, think for a moment how awful that is.
