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 listen to classical music, also called art music. The older I get, the more I’m interested in contemporary art music and less in Mozart, Brahms etc. I find the repeats in 18th c music especially tedious. But I would call myself a connoisseur, which has something to do with it.

Manchester Orchestra

Death Cab for Cutie

School of Seven Bells

@ahuvia How do age-related neurological changes affect one’s propensity to seek out new music?
