I think I finally got old. I have no idea who Justin Bieber is.

[onehandle]

The only reason I've heard of him is that Conan O'Brien has mentioned him in a couple of his daily tweets and a review of a 'Justin Bieber' themed app popped up on an iPhone review site.

Do I need to know who he is or should I stay old? The photo of him along with the app review seems to indicate he's about 13 years old, so I'm thinking I don't care.

1. You say that as if it's a bad thing.

You really don't want to know.

[ButterflyBlood]

2. I am 26 and I don't know either.

[abq e streeter]

3. I've heard that all the kids really like some group called The Beetles or something

Just in case anyone was under the mistaken impression that I'm not "hep" and "with it".

[Jade Fox]

21. No, it's the Strolling Bones......

that the real swingers all dig!

[abq e streeter]

25. They're the ginchiest !

[LeftyMom]

4. I don't either, and I'm in my twenties.

:shrug:

Actually, I'm pretty sure that he's the sort of adrognyously unthreatening singer tweenage girls get all swoony over before they get used to the idea of liking actual boys with, like, visual cues indicating the action of sex hormones and stuff. But I've never seen him, haven't heard one of his songs, and probably won't do either before his fifteen minutes are up.

Sometimes I'm very glad I have a son and not a daughter.

[jobycom]

5. He's an act for pre-teens.

I asked my teenager about him today, she said no one in high school really cares about him, but the 10-13 crowd is crazy about him. My 12 year old niece is very into him.

I never quite understand why grown-ups get angry at kid acts that aren't even meant for them. They creep me out, man. Really.

[MilesColtrane]

6. He's a sixteen year old lip synching dancer who looks twelve.

Usher saw him as a huge money making opportunity and invested in him.

I now hate Usher with the heat of a thousand supernovae.

[EOTE]

27. Looks twelve and sounds like a 9 year old girl.

I can't believe SNL saw fit to give him a venue to do his thing. Is anyone watching SNL really interested in something like that? And shame on Ludacris for having anything to do with that no-talent assclown.

[CBGLuthier]

7. He is the new mass marketed I don't know what

Before about two weeks ago never heard of him. Within one day there were ten references. Even Jon Stewart mentioned him.

I still have no idea who he is and considering the machinery at work wanting me to know him I think I will pass. One of the greatest joys of leaving popular music behind is not having to know who these manufactured pop stars are.

[Orrex]

8. He's the youngest person every to graduate magna cum laude from MIT with a degree in astrophysics

[Ikonoklast]

19. Awesome.

Let's launch him into space.

[jdp349]

9. New tween sensation

Built up a huge following on Youtube, was discovered and now is the object of obsession of millions of tween girls.

He's 16, doesn't look like puberty has hit him yet, still has a really high voice.

that's about all you need to know.

[Captain Hilts]

10. You can ignore that kid. nt

[Lex]

11. The latest David Cassidy. Meh. nt

[tabbycat31]

12. I did not know until Saturday

when I watched SNL to see Tina Fey's Palin again. The guy's voice hasn't even changed yet. He must be about 10

[Kat45]

22. Me too. n/t

[Mopar151]

13. No, you've finally grown up

Spongebob Squarepants is more relevant to our lives.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. He's the latest teenie bopper idol gracing the cover of Tiger Beat

[vixengrl]

24. No judgement on teeny-boppers, but that hairstyle--

it's like an inch away from Bobby Sherman--when did that come back?

(I feel like such an old fogey, now....)

[hippywife]

15. I don't know who he is, either.

And I really don't care. :hi:

[flvegan]

16. Some say, he's really The Stig.

[EOTE]

28. Blasphemy! The Stig has chunks in his stool bigger than that twit.

Now, the Stig's underdeveloped nephew, that I might buy.

[MadBadger]

17. The Reason Twitter Always Sucks a Little

[nickinSTL]

18. you're better off

he's a seriously overhyped, barely teen lily-white Canadian who thinks he's a gangsta :eyes:

[PBS Poll-435]

20. You can actually see that his voice is changing. Not good for him. He will be waxing Vanilla Ice's

Nova in less than 2 years.

:(












:)

[mycatfred]

23. You are lucky

Very lucky indeed that you do not know Justin Bieber. And trust me, only middle-school girls and the poor souls who raise them really know who he is. Oh, and he's sixteen.

[chemenger]

26. He's just one more in a laundry list of heart-throbs for the

bubble-gum-chewing, teeny-bopper set. Doesn't mean you're old. He'll be here and gone before you (and he) knows it. :evilgrin:

[Arkansas Granny]

29. I know of Justin Wilson, but not Justin Bieber. I'm sure that makes me old.

[Q3JR4]

30. I'm 28 and I have no idea who

half the young'uns on tv or in movies are these days.

Of course, I don't watch a lot of the crap put out by Hollywood, so it's not as if I'm missing anything.

I figure in the highly unlikely chance I get interested, I can just ask google.

Q3JR4.

[kimmerspixelated]

31. HAHAHA It's my daughter's heartthrob of

the day. I never heard of him till she mentioned it. I'm so old I remember when Tiger Beat magazine featured Bobby Sherman, Jack WIld and Davy Jones on the cover!
