Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?


Hello all,

Sometimes I find myself wondering why there is so little newer music in my library. Now, before you start in with rants about "New music is terrible!", I found this rather interesting article on the topic. (SFW)

 

With the maturing of streaming as a music delivery platform, and the ease of being able to surf new artists and music, it might be time to break my old listening habits and find some newer artists.

Happy listening.

Someone said it well already, we form the soundtrack of our lives when we are young, and no matter how much new music we may find, we have in our heads music that is linked to memories of previous times and places that is custom to only our personal memories. Being older now I understand when my parents would say the current music is garbage. They never listened to rock n roll, they never searched out new music. They were mentally locked in the past musically. While I will not let that happen, I still think there is a lot of garbage music out there that is simply not musical in any way. I think this is always true.
