I’m 47 I’m always looking for new music I think why most people stop searching for new music is because music and memories are strongly associated with one another so if you have good memories of music you grew up with you tend not to seek out new stuff.
I’m always seeking out new punk bands or industrial metal or political metal that goes against the right wing. And I have an 11-year-old daughter so I get to hear some of the new pop and whatever else is coming out there are some gems if you look hard enough
I love music and have listened to it all my life. Mostly current popular stuff. Over time I found that the music industry was becoming formulaic and no longer resonated with me. It seems it had lost it’s soul and was used more for marketing clothing lines or a “scent”. I still listen to new music, new for me anyway, but I find it in the past, before I was born. Lately I’ve been listening to Louis Prima non-stop. Man that guy had charisma, was funny, and he could sing and play that trumpet like nobody. I try to keep politics out of my music but there are great political songs as well. “Wanted Man” - Manhattan Transfer; “There is no Time” - Lou Reed, for example. I agree that there are always musical nuggets of gold to find in any generation, if you dig around a little. Reminds me of the Paul Simon line “Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts”. I have nothing against the new music, I just don’t pursue it anymore. All the best.
