"Beth Ditto has admitted that young people do not care about her band Gossip anymore.  The 30-year-old accepted that the group&amp;#039;s popularity peaked in 2007 with their single &amp;#039;Standing In The Way Of Control&amp;#039;, but assured Contactmusic that she doesn&amp;#039;t care about their subsequent fall from prominence.  She said: &amp;quot;I know 20 year olds don&amp;#039;t give a s**t about Gossip now. I actually had a moment where I realised, &amp;#039;We&amp;#039;re not hip anymore&amp;#039;, around the hundredth time I heard &amp;#039;Standing In The Way Of Control&amp;#039; on the TV. Do I care? No, I like it much more now. &amp;quot;I always enjoyed the freedom being viewed as &amp;#039;cool&amp;#039; gave me. The access to things I never thought I&amp;#039;d have. I went to some brilliant parties! But I hated that people maybe thought I was a d**k. &amp;quot;I did start thinking, &amp;#039;When I was in school, I never wanted to be cool&amp;#039;. But I also never thought it would last. So I went hell for leather and enjoyed it until it was over. There was no strategy.&amp;quot; Ditto recently described the success of &amp;#039;Standing In The Way Of Control&amp;#039; as a &amp;quot;fluke&amp;quot;.
