What age will I stop liking new music?
-
I'm 30 and I love listening to new music (always have), especially of the electronic variety. This doesn't mean I'm a fan of every vapid pop artist, glam rapper, and cheesy dance track out there, but I certainly couldn't imagine closing my mind (and ears) to fresh sounds and different ways of experiencing music! If I don't like it, I don't listen to it, but I'm willing to give -most- things a chance. However, I see this mentality creeping in as people age - parents, family, friends - : formerly vibrant individuals who loved music...and now they have stagnated, sticking with the unoffensive and soulless adult contemporary stations (and/or other blah waiting room-type music). Or they only look to the past for music to listen to (how many people do we all know who ONLY listen to music that was around in their teens and twenties - whatever decade that may be). Or even worse, they don't even like music at ALL anymore (my dad only listens to f*cking talk radio now...WTF?) Does this happen at a certain set age, or is it different for everyone? Does it even happen to everyone?

Music taste changes as you get older but if you have a taste and you don't listen to the repeated garbage the radio plays all day long, your taste evolves.As I was growing I went through pretty much all genres of music until I recently found what excites my imagination.I still listen to post rock / gothic even now in my 46.Because you're getting older doesn't mean you have to stuck on the 80's music or whatever you were listening as a young kid
It depends. I figure they stopped the clock for great music about 1750, and good music about 1950. So-so music about 1975. It's been down hill since! But, I know older people who are really up on modern stuff. My then 15-year old daughter met a work colleague who is around 60. He knew all the bands she loved, and even suggested some others she might like. He was in to her style of music. So, it depends on the person.

No, it doesn't happen to everyone. My husband and I like most of to days music also. I like foreign (non-English) singers and groups also.

This is deja vu. My mom the same way ...talk radio before she passed. You are right about me I am stuck in the 1950-1970,s music era too. After sometime in the 1980,s I kind of gave up. You are still young so you may have a cut off point at sometime down the road. I can take any kind of music except violent rap. I have even learned to like other types that I hear now and again. I look at some of these young musicians and think I would not like their music and think no way. One was Amy Winehouse. I was surprised at what a beautiful unique voice she had.You can't judge a book by it's cover.Keep loving music it is the universal language.

You like to experiment with music. That is your way. Your dad likes the tried and true. That is his way. To curse him for being who he is is not right. He has as much right to stay in the past as you have to rush into the future. You sound like the kind of ungrateful SOB who thinks that parents are stupid. Well if they are it is because they put up with kids like you who think it is okay to put them down. YOu can WTF all you want. You still are not someone who should ever get married or have children because it is all about YOU.

There are a lot of truths about music. I'm 65 and loved Norah Jones immediately, and Alanis Morrisette and Tracy Chapman and Sinead O'Connor and Natalie Imbruglia.... Love k.d.lang's voice, but can't stand to watch her. Love big band music that came before my time, the ballads on the radio when I was growing up, love Louie Armstrong and the Beatles, Mozart and Robert Palmer, and could go on and on. Pink Floyd... Dave Matthews...Santana...REM......

I'm in my mid 70s and I still like hearing new music. I'm a "classical" music fan. There are a lot of current composers and performers that are quite good. Even when compared to Copeland, Dvorak, Brahms, and Bach. Good music is timeless, and it's continually evolving. There are a lot of old fashioned folkys out there that are still doing good and original stuff. Tom Paxton is still giving concerts! The jazz scene never stagnated either.

Perhaps never. I still like the new music. Not the rap crap though. I like lots of different types of music. Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Adam Lambert, lots of the Rumanian music. I'm fifty three and still rocking.
