A person's music taste seems to crystalize at some point in their teenage years. The bands you loved at 15-17 are probably the bands that you'll love forever.
Likewise, I'm finding that my relationship with information services as a whole probably crystalized a while ago, and the new era of "apps for every individual thing" is just wholly unappealing. Give me a web browser to interface with your information. If I can't get it done with that, I'm more likely to move on to some even older tech and skip your product altogether.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late to bingo. And get off my lawn.
Me: "seems to" "at some point" "probably" while making a minor, secondary point. Others: Severely Triggered
I'm doing my best to constantly listen to new music every week to keep fresh and malleable in my taste
yea, discovering is part of the fun
RIP what.cd’s amazing music discovery spider web chart
I leaned hard on Waffles top 10 and also turntable.fm rooms after college.
Now in my 40s, I’ma little bit stuck in the LCD Sound System era of electro indie.
For me it depends on the mood. New stuff is fun, but stuff I know can be instantly trabsportative to moods or mental spaces and it feels good. New stuff can be too mentally engaging if I’m trying to do focus work or zone out. I think I listen to less new stuff now because I’m usually wanting to zone out with music more than actively engage with it.
I HATED rap and whatnot when I was 12-19 or so. Apple too.
Now I’m constantly listening to clipping. and doneone and UGK (RIP Young Pimp C) on my iPhone.
Dunno I can't stand the music I listened to in my teenage years.
I dont listen to anyone I liked as I kid cause they all came out as sex traffickers and pedophiles.
now I just listen to disney music, and waiting for the inevitable horror revelations with regards to those.
Well, it's Disney so...
I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING THE BLOOD BROTHERS
Thank god that wasn't the case. Listened to some awful shit as a kid
Me neither. I wonder if that's even true, because i see a lot of people changing tastes with age.
PWAs for the win!
Everything that's normal between age 10-20 is just as it is.
Everything you get to know between 20 and 30 is the hot new shit.
Everything after age 30 is just another fad you don't want to invest time to get to know anyway

Oh cool, thanks for providing the source
Wait come back!! You dropped your cane!
That's altogether BS. The bands I listen to have changed constantly since my teenage years. That's just an excuse to become a ranting old man.
An interesting experiment on the music thing. Top songs on your 13th birthday, at least for US/North Americans. https://www.birthdayjams.com
Wonder what they use your birthday for?
One of the credit card companies I use has a website that won't work properly anymore in my phone's browser.
My wife has a card through this company as well and she uses their app with no problems.
I have zero interest in installing their app so once a month I fire up my surface pro just to pay that damn bill.
It used to work just fine in the phone browser though.
Should probably just cancel that shitty account one of these days.
I don't know if anyone growing up these days would actually like mobile app requirements if they took the time to think about why they're required. Source: I'm one of them.
Most people young or old don't think about it and don't care.
Not necessarily... I grew up already in the era of apps, but have the same attitude. And I actually did actively use a smartphone during my tween and early teen years.
I don't think that's true. I like what I liked what I was a teen but more in a nostalgic kind of way. I definitely didn't like harder metalcore in my teens the way I do now lol.
Nice bullshit armchair Freud u hating every change due to immaturity or unwillingness to learn doesnt mean we do too
