my thought is that music is a hobby and people mislead themselves into themselves into thinking that it’s their hobby or that everyone has music has a hobby. I think music is just a phase for most people, as have been most things I’ve personally tried but wasn’t really into

but I’m in my 30s, am still into finding my music, and I can’t see that ever going away.

and I know people love listening to music from their formative years and don’t get me wrong, I too was obsessed into 2010’s indie rock and pop punk too, but I think it’s just people reliving the phase.

personally I will only pretty much listen to 2020’s indie rock and pop punk from new bands if I do. you will rarely catch me listening to music that I used to listen to. it was good then. now it’s tired and boring.



>it was good then. now it’s tired and boring.

It might be worth revisiting that music in a decade or two. My wife recently found an old Michael Jackson CD cleaning out an box of something in the garage. That sparked a let-me-listen to some more 70's and 80's music. Lot's of great "timeless" Michael Jackson songs. Not so much for Madonna for some reason. The Carpenter's and select ABBA gets a thumb's up from me as well.


I love listening to pop-ier 80s acts that were sampled by vaporwave artists and my GenX dad (huge grunge guy) is puzzled why I like the dreck.
