All over the world, teenagers are known for their ability to hone in on what is trendy. This is why it is surprising when some teens choose to embrace elements of classic culture rather than go with what is new and exciting.
Also known as “old souls,” teenagers that choose traditional music over contemporary offerings have a special and unique gift. One teenager perfectly exemplifies this preference with his performance on the hit show from the Netherlands, “The Voice Kids.”
Rather than choosing modern music for this number, this boy went the old school route and selected a piece by Elvis Presley. The young man named Thijs admits that he prefers the sounds of artists such as Michael Jackson and Elton John over what is popular these days with kids his age.
