Well, I am 53 years of age,
I keep up with all the latest music including Club, R n B, Dance etc.
I don't have an issue at all with any of my clients, including 18 year old Birthday Parties etc. I still regularly DJ in clubs and bars and mix with young people, and "the older generation".
I have been djing (live) on and off since I was 16, I once even made my own set of disco lights (for home use), when I was 13, made out of an old motor from a sewing machine, and one of my dad's photography lamps with a couple of old coloured gels my dad had no use for....some 40 years ago.
Can't say it does me any harm.
In fact it keeps me fit!
Keep going is what I say. :beer1:

RESPECT.......THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAVE THROWN UP SOME GREAT TUNES...
I play them repeatedly....if they pass my quality control...
Turning the thread on its head(as usual)has anybody else noticed just recently how often DJ's get a more of a mention in the Lyrics and Titles of current (last year) Chart Hits....like we're some sort of saviours!!

I also think the audience has a younger attitude i have 50 60 year olds dancing
to chart stuff
actually last night did a joint 40th 50th
had a playlist from the daughter mostly modern but some older stuff
started with upto date then moved into familiar territory with some seventies
then dancing queen and bang empty floor so back upto date
gotta say party dances and classic rock were the floorfillers for me last night
then there a girl comes up must be in her twenties asking for a song i had never heard of starts trying to play me it on her phone (as if i can hear it did she honestly think her iphone was louder than my setup)
any way i said i normally have all the upto date chart stuff but not comercial dance
she said you know your troublr you old, I'm 36 by the way and i still go out clubbing myself maybe i should retire allready:D
