When a papa (in his 40s–60s) plays Kenshi Yonezu, Ado, or Aimyon in the car, does he genuinely like that music? He says he listens to it a lot. Is he forcing himself to keep up with Gen Z songs?
This content is machine-translated.
He really doesn’t have to force himself—I'd be perfectly fine with him listening to Southern All Stars or something...

It’s on my car playlist too. Acid and Boøwy suddenly pop up in there as well, though.
I love music, so I like newer songs too. I’ve always listened to recent music that way, so it doesn’t feel strange to me at all.
By the way, lately I’ve especially been into Fujii Kaze and Vaundy—particularly “Kaiju no Hanauta.”

Hmm, I don’t think you need to look at it so narrowly.
I feel like it’s perfectly fine to enjoy songs from any generation.
Would it really be strange if you started liking songs from Gen Alpha or Gen Y? That’s what I find myself wondering.
Though maybe you personally try not to listen to songs from Gen Alpha or Gen Y.
Still, what’s with this “___ generation” labeling anyway? What’s so great about putting things that way?

Artists like Aimyon, Ado, and Kenshi Yonezu are fairly well known even among older men.
There are other singers that older men aren’t as familiar with.

I listen to them normally and sing along too. Sometimes we sing together.
I skip Ado because I don’t like her voice. It’s the same reason I skip songs by Dreams Come True, Mr. Children, and B’z—I’m just not a fan of their voices.
There are girls who like Southern All Stars and old nostalgic songs too. Maybe they grew up listening to them because their moms liked them.

I’d never really thought about what music to play in the car!
I’m a Yutori generation kid, so I still like Vocaloid songs and girl idols. In other words, I’m a bit of an otaku, haha.
I don’t really know Aimyon or Kenshi Yonezu either. I heard “Usseewa” and thought, “Wow, that’s noisy!”
Everyone has different tastes, I guess〜 (๑>◡<๑)

I think he’s probably searching in advance for music that girls will enjoy on a drive and getting everything ready.
These days, the way things are marketed is to first create something that resonates with Gen Z. Once it starts spreading, the older male generation will inevitably jump on the bandwagon a little later. I think that marketing strategy has worked on this papa.
Older men aren’t usually the first to embrace something new themselves, but when they see young women getting really into something, they’ll follow along a little later and help spread it like crazy. This is a perfect example of that♪
So whether he actually likes it or not, I do think it’s true that he listens to it a lot.
It’s me.

The older people around me (in their 40s to 60s) know and can sing more songs from their generation than I do, so whether they actually like them or not, I think it’s fair to say they listen to them quite often.
I don’t know whether it’s because they spend time with younger people or because they think those songs will go over well with them.
I’m in my 30s, but I listen to songs from their generation more often than I do to music from my own.
For me, it started because I was hanging out with older men and wanted to match their taste, but lately, it’s simply because I prefer the music from that generation.
Everyone has different tastes.

Sorry, I listen to them a lot too. 50
They’re all I listen to.
Maybe it’s because I play music shows in the background while I work. I just spent three hours watching Music Station.
There might be people who don’t listen to them, though.
Maybe I’ll try listening to enka. I wonder if enka will eventually disappear.

Whether someone genuinely likes it or not varies from person to person. We can’t know.
For the record, my playlist—as a guy in my 40s—has Yonezu on it because I like his music, but not Ado because she’s too loud.
