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.

Just a little clarification on my last post.

Technically, the "demo" CD was actually a "system evaluation" CD.  It was used for judging systems in car audio competition. As system designer/installer, we never knew exactly what cuts the judges would select for system evaluation.  So, we would make sure the customer was familiar with how all the tracks sounded on their system.  A good way to motivate the customer to listen to all the music on the CD.

If your serious about finding new old or new new music my advice would be to get yourself a Roon setup.

Probably shouldn’t but can’t help feeling a little sorry for the guy that just bought his fourteenth pressing of the same old LP.

If you love music and do that’s a big mistake!  Explore new horizons!

If you listened to 60’s and 70’s music you know the reason why. A lack of actual hits!
