Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?

Who is “we”? I just added a dozen new releases to my library yesterday, with most being MQA releases. Using Roon, it’s very easy to find  new releases for a particular artist

Two words.  Getting Old.

When I'm driving and scan thru the radio stations, I can't get into the music I hear.  I then stop at HPR (Hawaii's NPR) and listen to the wonderful news of the world.  My "new" music comes from Sampler cd's and random browse Spotify.  If I hear an artist I like, I'll go from there.  My brother and I used to laugh and my dad for things he did.  He warned us "one of these days you're going to....".  Well, just like my dad I have three different glasses, grunt when I stand up, walk slowly on my bad knees, stand up to get something, take 5 steps and forget what that something was!  

Yup, getting old.  Grandchildren, Senior citizens card. Hair thinning.  I'm even considering taking my septum ring out!

Good music never gets old.

Speak for yourself! 

I'm close to 70 and though I love my favorites from over the years, exploring new musical frontiers is one of the best things about being happy with one's system and using a streamer.

I love discovering " new to me " music!!! Before I started streaming, most of my new music came from seeking out World Music fm radio shows.......afew years ago, my teenage daughter staring watching Kpop on her computer....well to stay connected to her, I joined in....and found a few gems among the pop.....in fact I discovered a style of new Korean music, which is a modernization, of ancient Korean Shamanistic songs....check out Lee Nal Chi ....( start with " The Tiger is Coming" video on youtube)
