Spurn those millennials and their damn music.

Maybe you can't stand young people in clubs and bars anymore. Maybe even less so their damn modern music.

Fear not! There's now there's a club night in Sydney, Australia, called 40up and it has a higher-than-usual age requirement. Sounds dreamy.

"The whole idea is that you can't even get in unless you're 40-plus," the club night's co-founder, Steve Clisby said in a statement. "This is how you exercise your right to be over 40 and still party, without worrying about the millennials getting in the way."

The music, of course, is all about the classics. There's a band and DJ playing soul and funk tunes ranging from Barry White, Prince, Kool & the Gang, Michael Jackson, Chic and beyond.

"There's nothing quite like this in Australia that caters specifically for 40-somethings and baby boomers. It's all about the original music, the dance era and the fun that surrounded that time, but given a fresh, contemporary feel. This makes being older cool," Clisby added.

For those of you who are just old at heart, you'll need to be accompanied by someone over the age of 40 to join the party.

And let's face it, with declining numbers of millennials attending nightclubs -- maybe it's the older generation that can really show everyone how to party.
