    While I still like most of the music I did at age 14, I continue to find new music I like. I don’t discard much. If I liked it at one point I usually still like it.

    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.

    When I was 14, “Zombie”, by the Cranberries, was the music of the year.

    I still go back occasionally but there’s a lot more to listen. And I’ve discovered other genres since then.

    It ain’t me, sis/bro. I might occasionally find a song to loop for a while, but in general I hate when things play on repeat. Always searching for something new.

    Heres some YouTube channels to find music on

    Strange Music Inc
    Epitaph Records
    Spinnin’ Records
    Nuclear Blast Records
    CloudKid
    Fueled By Ramen
    Metropolis Records
    XKitoMusic
    MrMoMMusic
    MonstercatUncaged
    Rock Montage

    and if you don’t have a YT Alternative who can play all uploads then here’s an extension for it by Catbraaain, but you do have to navigate to the uploads tab to see it.

    I’ll never understand this. I’m 40 and I’m still actively seeking out new music and listen to vastly more new releases than anything 5+ years old.

    Of course I understand everyone has “their thing” and music happens to be my thing, so I understand the additional interest in my case, but the alternative just seems so damn boring to me…

    14 year old me listened to a lot of heavy metal variations along with emo rock and that kind of jazz. Now, as a 34 year old man, I still occasionally enjoy some of that, but my music taste has developed and matured, so now I mostly listen to girly pop music.

    I listen to way more than when I was a teenager now. Probably not a genre out there now without something I appreciate in it.

    I wasn’t gonna listen to music that everyone around me said was rubbish, so I just stuck to the genres of my friend groups (first half of the 00s: so mostly indie, nu-metal and big beat/electrohouse/idm, which wasn’t exactly leaving me to starve for stuff to listen to)

      I didn’t listen to much music for the better part of a decade, mostly because I wasn’t driving, then it occurred to me one day that I could start streaming it during a lot of the stuff I do. Probably doubled how much music knowledge I had in two years.

    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.

    This take is for people that primarily listen to pop music (of any genre, pop rock, pop punk. Stuff that is on the radio). Which is a huge amount of people. But it is unsurprising that on a niche community-based website like Lemmy, where a lot of people probably have an artistic tinge to them, that a bunch of you have a much more involved and active music discovery experience.

    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.

    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.
