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.

I know I'll get beaten up for this, but J.S. Bach may be my least favorite among the accepted pantheon of Top Classical Composers. Too many of J.S.'s pieces feel mechanical. More busy than inspired. Cranked out on deadline for a fee. To be sure, part of my problem with Papa Bach may be due to the fact I'm less of a fan of High Baroque than of the earlier and later eras. But still...

I have a habit of trying out new/unfamiliar material that Qobuz puts on their home page (or is my personal home page thanks to their sneaky algorithms?). It's kind of like it was when I maniacally listened to AM...and then FM...pop radio.
