(W)here are the young men?

All the crowds queuing for Emo bands and the like seem to be mostly gurls. Amy and Lily and Mika and the other falling-behind-the-zeitgeist (see previous poptimist, er, 'thread'??) seem all quite girly audienced.

Yes there's lots of pop stuff for the young ladies, but... what are young men boys listening to these days?

Actually I'd hazard a guess that the London based kids old enough to go out clubbing (or at least pass for 18) are probably all about the nu-rave electrobosh. This is based on circumstantial evidence based on waiting at the bus stop on York Way on Friday/Saturday nights watching the kidz walk up to Canvas. Dance/electro definitely seems to be cross-gender.

As I don't actually *know* any teenagers I feel a bit unconfident in this speculation. They're probably all dancing the night away to some new undiscovered genre us grown-ups can only dream of.

klaxons have now featured in Coronation Street and Eastenders as being young mans music now you mention it. Young lady beale was listening to Just Jack the other day - so he's out of it too.
