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

On the subject of "introducing others to new music", this "demo" CD was introduced in 1988, widely distributed, and experience by a group of primarily 17 to 22 year old audiences.

Artist/composers: Alfred Newman, Jennifer Warnes, David Benoit, Billy Cobden, Swing, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Stanley Myers, Beethoven, Dave Grusin, Vivalda, Bach, John Williams.

Installing SQ systems in car audio enthusiasts vehicles, introducing them to various genres, and watching them smile was fun.

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!
