    Wait, you’re saying your favorite music is from when you were young?! No way! That certainly has not always happened to the majority of people since time began!

    /s

    Snark aside, this is what happens to the majority of people as they get older.

    Is there a lot of garbage out there these days? Absolutely. But this is in large part due to the fact that there simply is a lot more music coming out now than ever before because of how easy it’s become for anyone to make and distribute their own songs. Yet is there also a lot of great music out there these days? Absolutely. And it’s due to the exact same reason

      I’m with you on the fact that incredible music is still being made. It’s not that hard to find, either. Bandcamp collates music on blogs for all types of taste, for instance. And there’s all kinds of ways to play off what we already know we like to gradually discover new artists - and expand our tastes.

      It’s weird to me that people settle on a certain collection of music and then just stop. It’s even odder when they then complain that nothing else is as good.

      I said my favorite music was made before I was born. It wasn’t “the stuff that came out when I was growing up is my favorite” which is what people keep replying with.

        No, we’re talking about the music that YOU LISTENED TO when you’re young. And young in this trope means music you listened to before you were in your like 30s to 40s.
