Abstract

This chapter covers three main areas that are important for understanding the relationship between popular music and ageing. The first is how age is represented in contemporary western popular cultural discourses. The second turns to the experience of fandom and ageing in relation to popular music and the third outlines theoretical concepts around time that emerge from considering the current contexts of production and consumption of popular music. Popular music is used in its largest sense, encompassing genres beyond pop, to include punk, folk and rock. The chapter uses work from scholars of popular music, ageing studies, and sociology.
