I donāt think thereās any age discrimination against Duran Duran, which is the definition of the word. Itās just reality. Most people (not you or me) become less and less interested in new music as they grow older and teens tend to gravitate to acts their own age, or at least acts under 30. Out with the old, in with the new. Thatās life, not ageism.

Not true..you can have a great song and if you are over 50 they generally won't play it on the radio..if a younger act sings a new DD tune guaranteed that song would be in heavy rotation..notice Sunrise last major song that charted on BB in 2004 for DD which sucks. I feel they are still making good music that puts alot of their contemporaries to shame.. That's why when Invisible and Anniversary were played on Pulse SiriusXM it was a shock. Especially when it was on high rotation...and my local radio station had Anniversary on rotation. Last song they played was WHT off Astronaut...long time between albums to play new DD album..

Your response provides no evidence that DD is the recipient of age discrimination. You can't simply say "not true" and be right. You can't "guarantee" a hypothetical and be right. Citing something that happened 20 years ago isn't good evidence. And, if anything, your claim that Invisible and Anniversary were on rotation counters your ageism claim. Duran Duran's lack of chart success has nothing to do with age discrimination and everything to do with the harsh reality of how consumer behaviors change as we age along with the musicians we love. That's life. The real b***h is age denialism (See Madonna c. 2024). The band isn't denying their age--they're accepting it. We should too.

I literally had a DJ in my neck of the woods who said he won't play DD on his radio show because they are too old! Is that enough for you? Ps: he loved the song but wouldn't play it!

That's life. The real b***h is age denialism (See Madonna c. 2024). The band isn't denying their age--they're accepting it. We should too. The bigger picture looks like this from what Iāve lived thru and observed DD are the recipients of not being taken seriously as musicians from day dot thankfully thatās changed but still, wasn't the case for ages Like even the RIO LPs reviews at the time werenāt overly positive, (give wiki a read) that appreciation happened much later by the time AVTAK had come out the critics DD tide was turning, DD couldnāt be ignored, it was a Bond song, it was No1 and the only one to go number one at that time and then what ? the split occurred and that period was āwrongly justifiedā that ādd werenāt serious enough about their artā and the critics were like āwe knew they wouldnāt lastā in Australia thatās when dd radio play died in particular so itās not solely due to agesim āwhy do I say this After all, U2 weāre ageing too as was George M, so weāre the chili peppers, sure they may not get radio play now but they did thru the late 80s, 90s 00s etc in the case of GM heād shed his poppy wham days became an adult looking artist, wore a denim leather jacket then burnt it š„ sticking DDs supermodels in his clip āas unfortunate as it is, DD never quite shed or had a transition, the split was enough justification for all those listening NOT via their ears sure Notorious was a minor hit in my neck of the woods (I say minor coz it never got to No2 in Aust) yet even notorious never got the radio play it deserved as for OW that was leaked and due to its heartfelt subject matter & important adult sounding āmusicalityā that was picked up in a world full of grunge ā
everything else DD has released āsingle wiseā has pretty much been ātoo out thereā for the masses (Joe blow boring types š) and only now with DDs wealth of contribution to the industry are they getting great recognition however without radio play & thatās how Iāve observed it all, it over the last 40+ years
