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've listened to mostly soul and R&B since the 60's; during that time, I also enjoyed some soft rock and contemporary jazz.  Lately, I've spent time discovering blues and more jazz. 

I've never been a fan of rap, and I don't particularly care for hip hop for a number of reasons.  There are a few new "soul/neo soul" artists that a good friend turned me on to.  I haven't found one yet that's produced a full album that I truly enjoy.  On the other hand, I have hundreds of old school vinyl albums and CDs that I enjoy every song.

I'm 75, at this point in my life I spend a little time exploring new stuff.  I spend a lot more time, just chillin' and listening to the music I've enjoyed during the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
