not true for me but i will admit to the last couple of concerts i attended in my 50s, i felt a little weird... at the 2nd to last, i was 30 years older than everybody but the band member's relatives & the guy who was pretty obv. a music reviewer, at the VERY last, i was 30 years older than EVERYBODY & the guy checking tickets/IDs offered me free merch (i realized later he thought *i* might be a reviewer)
Strangely enough, my personal taste is almost exactly the opposite: the music I like is almost all from before I was born (often decades before), or from the last 15 years or so (but not recent pop music).
Very much the opposite for me across all music - some of my favourite jazz music was recorded decades before I was born, and my favourite classical music was composed at least a century ago! But (as a 33-year old) some of my current favourite music was recoded in the last five years (especially funk, jazz funk etc.).
I'm nostalgic for the songs of my childhood and teens, but I cringe a little at what I was into! I got a lot of enjoyment from it and still do listen to some of it every now and then for nostalgia's sake, but I wouldn't rate it as really great music...
I suppose it could hold more if it's only talking specifically about the pop genre (although I still like stuff my Dad used to listen to when I was a kid from before I was born)...
Honestly, this has not happened to me. My tastes have changed as I've gotten older, but I'm always finding something new to enjoy. Like, I never thought I'd be into pop music, but I've spent most of my 40s really excited about the state of pop. I'll be 45 next month and think several genres are in a new golden age.
this is nonsense music-quality-relativism. All good music happened before 1990, everything after sucks. thatโs not my relative view; itโs objective truth.
I'm almost 44, Led Zeppelin, early Metallica, Heart, Queen, from before I was born, Lady Gaga, Florence+the Machine, the Mountain Goats(though we love the early stuff too we only really got into more recently after Moral Orel) from when I turned 30 or later.
The only stuff from the 90s which I still regularly listen to is Tool/APC/Garbage, nin and orgy dominated my listening back then but they are kinda cringey nowadays.
yeah, same here. The 80s had some good Songs as well, that was 11 Years before I was born, but since I was 20 most of the Music sounds like Crap to me.
@inkorrupt I'd say it's more about making an effort than about age.
If you already know what music you like you stop actively searching for new stuff - and your taste evolves with exposure to new stuff.
I've been trying to (re)develop my personal library of stored music for the last 2-3 years and now know a whole lot of songs released during the last 5 years that I think are great. On the other hand a lot of the things I loved back in the 90s are now considered to be crap by me.
interessting statistic. I guess was born a 40 years old grumpy person ๐ฌ The music I liked in my teens was all 30 or 40 years old and I dislike(d) most contenmporary stuff. But that's whs it's called statistics and not universal truths.
There is still a lot of good music coming out, but it's all in genres and styles that went out of fashion ages ago and now only survive in subcultures centered around such music. The mainstream mostly sucks, always has, always does, except for a few extraordinary artists.
Opposite for me. Cringing more with โclassic rockโ. In my 70โs and find new music as good as anything. Many โplayโ with sounds. You know you are in a different domain when you attend a gig and people ask if you are the grandparent of one of the performers.

Reporting back on this the launcher and room setup worked great this time, just like on Windows! I then went and downloaded HL:A of course; the obvious benchmark. I played for about an hour before it hung the entire PC and had to be hard reset. The performance was way better than last time but reproduction was pretty bad. Playable for some perhaps but would probably cause motion sickness for others. Still, a huge leap forward and here's to hoping they keep improving!
