This is why folks in their 40s+ end up still listening to the same stuff. lol. The article was right about that.
Acts like Greta Fleet help bridge those gaps between old school sounds and new music. Electronica has never been easier to get into as well and there’s a nostalgia for those old school synthwave vibes.
Like all things, there’s an ebb and flow to music and musical taste over time. You’ll find as you understand music more, you’ll be listening to classical on a Thursday morning just as much as you’ll listen to pop, rock, or jazz.
By the time you reach 60, your musical tastes should be broad enough to appreciate all music, hopefully. Obviously some will reach that point faster than others. Musicians tend to be the fastest since they are students of music.
I still have a rock playlist I created in my late 20s on Spotify that I listen to this day. Mostly started as a digital version of my in-car CD collection.
