Raw, Rebellious, and Hot: Why Older Women Can’t Get Enough of Yungblud

“My 30-year-old son just told me I’m too old to love Yungblud — that it’s creepy, that I need to stop being a cougar. I laughed, because honestly, if this guy’s music and honesty make me feel alive again, why the hell would I stop?”
I never thought I’d be writing a blog about a 28-year-old rocker, but here we are. And yes, I owe the idea to my son. He was specifically talking about Yungblud or Dominic Harrison, as he’s really named and I have to admit, I laughed. But his words made me think: if Yungblud makes us feel alive, youthful, and full of energy again, isn’t that a good thing? Why wouldn’t women over 50 love that?
I’ve loved music my whole life, and I’m picky. I don’t just like music — I feel it, I connect to it, and I respect it. I need raw, real talent. And Yungblud has it. There’s no pretending, no auto-tuned fluff, no gimmicks. He sings, he writes, he performs, and he does it all with an honesty that makes you stop and listen. That combination of skill, passion, and truth is rare these days, and it’s why I’m hooked.
Women love honesty, and Yungblud has it in spades. He talks openly about life, about struggles, about mental health, and even about his own sexuality. That kind of openness and vulnerability is magnetic. It’s rare to see a man in music who doesn’t hide behind an image, who shares his truth without fear. And that’s exactly why women over 40, 50 and 60 connect with him so deeply, we respect it, we admire it, and it makes us feel seen and understood in a way that goes beyond just the music.
At my age, I don’t have patience for fluff. I’ve buried loved ones, fought health battles, picked myself up after heartbreak, and learned to keep going when it feels impossible. Society tells women my age to tone it down — stop being loud, stop being wild, stop taking up space, and definitely don’t dress like we’re young. But Yungblud, with his eyeliner, messy hair, and unapologetic energy, reminds me of the girl I used to be the one screaming along to songs in my bedroom mirror, daring to be myself. He wakes up a spark I didn’t even realize was asleep.
Sure, some of his songs are chaotic, but listen closer and there’s depth — about identity, heartbreak, and self-discovery. They remind me of my younger self, but also speak to me now as a woman who’s lived, lost, and grown. His music connects the past and the present, saying: you were always enough. Back in the day, I loved the mystery, rebellion, and untamed energy of rockstars like Robert Smith of The Cure, Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe. That sense of danger, fun, and freedom.... well, at least it was what I craved and Yungblud brings that feeling back in a modern way.
I’ve spent decades in boxes... mom, partner, caretaker, worker, responsible one. Yungblud’s message about refusing labels and being your truest self resonates with us older women. He reminds us it’s okay to take up space, express ourselves, and live life without apology, even if society says we’re “too old” to do so. Men can gush over younger female artists, and no one thinks twice. But a woman over 40, 50 or 60 saying she loves a younger man? Suddenly it’s a scandal. Some might call women our age who love Yungblud “cougars,” and maybe that’s true. But honestly? I’ll take it. We’re not trying to be 20 again, we’re alive enough to feel passion, admiration, and yes, attraction. Yes, women think he’s hot, but can you blame us? He carries himself in a way that’s confident, rebellious, and unapologetically himself. And if Dominic Harrison, aka Yungblud makes us feel alive and young again, isn’t that a good thing?
For many of us, Yungblud takes us back to the days of rockstars like Sebastian Bach, Axl Rose, Robert Plant and all the others who strutted across the stage in eyeliner, long hair, leather, and pure rebellion. That raw, sexy, untamed energy defined our youth and he carries it forward with a modern twist. And yes, a lot of people only learned about him recently after his cover of Changes on Ozzy’s Back to the Beginning farewell concert, but some have been following him for years and they knew from his past songs, from the raw passion and talent he’s always displayed, that one day this guy was going to take over the music scene.
I haven’t seen him live yet, but he’s on my bucket list. From what I hear, his shows are electric, loud, emotional, and full of connection. And when I finally get there, it won’t matter that I’m over 50. I’ll be screaming the words, feeling every beat, and soaking up every ounce of freedom he brings. Yungblud isn’t just for teenagers. He’s for anyone who’s ever felt out of place, struggled, or wanted to scream and live without apology. And that’s why women over 40 — like me, over 50 — are connecting with him so deeply. If I was to meet him, I would give him a hug and say thank you for being you.
Because at the end of the day, he doesn’t just make me feel younger. He makes me feel alive. And at this stage of life, that’s something worth holding on to — even if my son thinks it’s “creepy.”
Peace, Love and Loud Music
