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 usually limber up with a few tracks from the 1960s and 70s for nostalgic reasons and then broaden into the latest tunes when enjoying music for an evening (which is more or less every evening). Having two young adult daughters has really expanded my musical enjoyment, i listen to bands i would normally never know about and there is some fantastic stuff out there. Not sure i entirely get their love of Taylor Swift but at 60 i guess i’m not supposed to! We have fun every year sharing our Spotify ‘most played’ - we all have really diverse tastes which is great for sharing.
