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.

Most people that I know in my age group do not listen to new music at all.  That is not me.

Streaming has enabled me me discover lots of music that is new to me.  That includes brand new releases, new artists, and older music that I have not listened listened to. 

Discovering new music is far more important to me than the minutia fo tweaking the sound quality of the music systems in my home.  Roon's ability to play or suggest new music to me has enhanced my music enjoyment far more than any gear upgrades that I have made.  To me, it is all about the music..
