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.

Define "new". I am still unsealing records and listening for the first time. The fact that the music was written 1000 years ago is irrelevant (to me).

As for newly composed music, it is mostly heavily marketed, and there is a reason for that - it's disposable and/or derivative. Like plastic cups of coffee-coloured hot water.
