Did you stop listening to new music at 30? I’m almost 30 and won’t ever listen to zoomer shit ever. It feels like literal cuckoldry to listen to music by someone 10 years younger than me. And it’s all bleep bloop bullshit, I’m sure.
Your TEENS, not 20s, are your prime years. And the music feels magical.
Unironically agree >tfw used to be younger than celebrities

Op here. I wasn’t joking. I truly think your teens are peak. Admittedly, I think a lot of that is biological, your brain explodes into adulthood. It’s also the decade of most of your firsts. But still
Matthew Stewart
you sound like a cringy boomer, although i agree. i’m a zoomer and i can’t get zoomer music.

Soundcloud rap is for young girls. They are the taste makers. If you listen to modern rap you are being fucked. The girls only like i cause they squee over face tatts, you only like it because its popular. You are a cuck

>. My life so far has been spent trying to find something better than this. It never happens. Make something better than it then
Brandon Reyes
It is a fantastic album, good taste user.
Hunter Fisher
yeah its cringe listening to music made by people younger than you that are still growing up and experiencing life for the first time. there are some that are more mature but it all depends. that's why i'm getting into classical now, i feel like im getting old for indie and rap

I'm nearly 50 and will listen to anything that isn't shit. I would have considered everything I've sampled from Billie Eilish to be trite when I was 14. It's all about subject matter, and I've never had any interest in most "relationship" or "peer group commentary" shit. It's typically rather low level and mostly petty whining or boasting of getting the better over the other after a breakup.
Actually a good bit of the bulk of my tastes shifted hard *many* years ago into recordings or works made before 1932. This ranges from old 78 folk records to classical, though I do enjoy up into the 40s/50s/60s with Charlie Parker (slept to him last night, in fact), John Coltrane, etc.
But then there's Bob Dylan who transcends millennia and contains multitudes.
There have been occasional blips. I found bits of OK Go to be somewhat interesting, but their music pretty much requires the videos to accompany it.
I unironically think that the air quality is getting so poor in the developed world it's gradually dumbing us down and we'll see an increase in deaths by dementia as opposed to heart disease / cancer when we're old. Pretty sure it's already confirmed in Beijing where the air pollution is so infamously bad.
I'll add to this that there is an objective decline in quality since the 90s, which enjoyed a legitimate creative burst, though even that is not to my personal taste. Going back a bit to, say, prime David Bowie, nothing has replaced such since.
A lot of it is a direct result of the corporate culture behind it all. For many years there were business people who would simply take chances on legitimate artists and see what did or didn't stick. Now they have formulas worked out and things are outright manufactured.
Then a lot of it is our own culture as well. Modern kids grow up oversaturated in general media, and with the content of that media being so manufactured it results in the manufacture of developing psyches to a significant degree as well, with many subtle, yet powerful effects. I myself haven't owned a TV since 1993, and as I stated I tend to listen to things much older, things that in some essential way transcend time, era, and to a degree even world altogether.
One of my absolute favorite recordings was made in the 1940s from a boat with miles long mic cables run inland to capture Indonesian gamelan orchestra, "Music for the Gods: The Fahnestock South Sea Expedition". Check *that* shit out. Bought it on CD as a new release just browsing the World Music section back when we still had music stores, and it's stuck with me throughout since.
Which brings me to another point, the modern need for something constantly "new" to consoooom.
music is gonna be so good when all the geriatric boomers and boomer apologists itt are worm food
besides the based bob dylan poster

I'm 27. I haven't listened to anything new since the year 2013 or so. I think nowadays the only new thing I listened to was Beach Bunny. I still listen to new albums by old artists I used to like though of course. And I definitely feel bad when I see that some new popular artist is younger than me. >tfw you will never be in a band in your late teens/early 20's
>I'll add to this that there is an objective decline in quality since the [insert decade] Isn't it just that as you get older nothing surprises you anymore?
