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 found the opposite, I’m 37 and have always been searching for new music, even before streaming I would use YouTube to search. Streaming has made it so much easier that it has increased the genres I listen to with the only back step being I don’t listen to rap anymore. What I have found is I actually also search through ‘old’ music, jazz, classical etc, genres I never used to enjoy but now do. Finding new music is my favourite past time and adds exponential value to my hifi system.
