I’ll never understand this. I’m 40 and I’m still actively seeking out new music and listen to vastly more new releases than anything 5+ years old.

Of course I understand everyone has “their thing” and music happens to be my thing, so I understand the additional interest in my case, but the alternative just seems so damn boring to me…

Completely wrong.

I wouldn’t brag about my music tastes not updating with new music.

I couldn’t stand listening to the same 10 songs for years.

Not even a little bit true for me. I listened to pretty much only country at 14 and I don’t listen to any country now, not even the stuff I liked then. By 16 I had switched to mostly rock & alternative. I will still listen to that occasionally, mostly for nostalgia, but it isn’t on any of my playlists. I suspect most everything on my regular playlists came out after I was 30, but it continues to shift forward over time. I suspect eventually most of my current playlist will age out too.

I listen to almost everything except what I listened at 14. At some point I figured out my peers had terrible musical taste and I started listening to what I actually enjoy.

Also here to brag about how my musical taste never stopped evolving. If I stayed stuck at 14 I’d still be a metalhead but I barely listen to any these days, meanwhile I’ve been through many more phases, I keep the bands and songs I loved most from each phase and add it to the pile. Also as I stack up the years my tastes gravitate towards lower and lower BPM and energy levels. By the time I’m 70 I’ll probably only listen to drumless ambient drones or whatever.

What a boring life that would be, damn.

I listen to 100x more varied/different music than I used to listen to.

but I also listen to what I used to listen to.

While I still like most of the music I did at age 14, I continue to find new music I like. I don’t discard much. If I liked it at one point I usually still like it.

1. I think it depends on the year. In my 14th year, there were relatively few bangers. There were a lot more ballads back then, and they’ve aged poorly.

2. I predate digital music, I listened to the radio, but only had so many tapes, so I didn’t get to hear what I wanted all the time. What I did get to hear where those ballads over and over.

3. I only listened to rock and metal back then. I can now appreciate R&B and Country from back then, but I don’t get nostalgic from it.

I rarely listen to what 14 year old me listened to.

Mostly because many of my favorite groups hadn’t formed yet 😅

When I was 14, “Zombie”, by the Cranberries, was the music of the year.

I still go back occasionally but there’s a lot more to listen. And I’ve discovered other genres since then.

Add 7 years and I can see it.
