False. I listened to nothing but classical, but now I listen to almost everything.

My daughter listens to music while brushing teeth as a form of pleasant timer. We have been through the entire Weird Al discography (but had to listen to a few of the longer ones when not brushing teeth). Teenage me would approve.

A lot of people are happy enough inside their comfort zone, they’re likely to die there. The people that say they haven’t made good music since the XX’s probably haven’t spent much time searching for music they’d like.

Nope. Once on a while I might listen to it out of nostalgia’s sake. Otherwise it’s churning through a bunch of garbage on spotify trying to find something decent. My other half otoh is constantly listening to our high school year’s music. It’s all the same, it’s the same top songs from the charts from the same top bands, over and over… It’s boring AF.

I wouldn’t brag about my music tastes not updating with new music.

I couldn’t stand listening to the same 10 songs for years.

What a boring life that would be, damn.

I listen to 100x more varied/different music than I used to listen to.

but I also listen to what I used to listen to.

Not even a little bit true for me. I listened to pretty much only country at 14 and I don’t listen to any country now, not even the stuff I liked then. By 16 I had switched to mostly rock & alternative. I will still listen to that occasionally, mostly for nostalgia, but it isn’t on any of my playlists. I suspect most everything on my regular playlists came out after I was 30, but it continues to shift forward over time. I suspect eventually most of my current playlist will age out too.

1. I think it depends on the year. In my 14th year, there were relatively few bangers. There were a lot more ballads back then, and they’ve aged poorly.

2. I predate digital music, I listened to the radio, but only had so many tapes, so I didn’t get to hear what I wanted all the time. What I did get to hear where those ballads over and over.

3. I only listened to rock and metal back then. I can now appreciate R&B and Country from back then, but I don’t get nostalgic from it.

Lol nah

I listen to almost everything except what I listened at 14. At some point I figured out my peers had terrible musical taste and I started listening to what I actually enjoy.

This may be why my sister is into competitive band ‘music’ (I mean the sort schools do, with lots of brass and drums).

I just can’t fathom it. I worked in an instrument shop, and it all sounds like if a van plowed into our stock room to me.

I rarely listen to what 14 year old me listened to.

Mostly because many of my favorite groups hadn’t formed yet 😅

By that logic, I listen to “third eye blind, semicharmed life”.

Just that one song though.

Add 7 years and I can see it.
