Old age consists of ages nearing the average life span of human beings, and thus the end of the human life cycle. Euphemisms and terms for older people include advanced adult, elderly, and senior (chiefly US) or senior citizen and pensioner. Some believe there to be prejudice against older people in Western cultures, referred to as ageism.
"Old Age" is a song recorded by the American rock bands Nirvana and Hole. For years, it was known only as a Hole song, first appearing as a B-side on their 1993 single "Beautiful Son," and again on their 1997 compilation album, My Body, The Hand Grenade. Then, in 1998, a tape of the song being performed by Nirvana was leaked to the Stranger, a Seattle, Washington weekly newspaper.
