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 am at a renaissance of discovering new music. I have started picking  up CDs at the library and CDs at Goodwill.And, I just yesterday reached out to an old friend to ask if he had any musical artists he could recommend.I have also recently subscribed to Apple Music and Tidal.

I am listening to about 10 new CDs a week at this point.I found that some artists that I liked in the past, I do not enjoy anymore. I found some Nora Jones CDs that are fabulous. I had never listened to her before. And, I found one of hers that was a dud.

One source that I haven't plumbed yet is https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/

happy listening!
