When I was a teenager, I liked pretty much everything that was playing on MTV.

When I was about 20, I became more selective and I started to take music more seriously. I stopped listening to random song and started to listen to full albums, and I started to research about several music styles and music from several epochs.

Now I'm 25, and in five years I got sick of most of the music that I listened to. I used to have 70 GB of music, now I have 13 GB, and I believe these 13 GB are the music that I will listen to forever, because I just can't get sick of it.

I'm not narrow-minded, purist or anything like that. Every week I take some time to discover new music in several websites (All Music, Pitchfork, NME, Discogs, Last FM, etc.) and sometimes I make long lists with 50-60 band names, and in the end I only like 2 or 3 at best, if any.

I don't know if music is really getting worse or it's just me. I don't want to have just OK music around me. Why should I listen to average music (or slightly above average) if I can listen to great music? I don't think that I should lower my standards. But it's not that I deliberatedly became "demanding" and started to narrow my listens, it just happened for some reason, and I can't get along with average music.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I don't know what's cool (I doubt that), but it's just my opinion about the current state of music. Do you guys feel the same way?

Damn, you're turning into a 'grouchy old man' at a very young age!

Nothing wrong with maturing and appreciating some music and not other music. You may find your taste change as you get even older, too.

Follow the links brother. I watched a couple Megadeth shows where they played in Argentina (which were great btw) and that led me into checking Argentinian and other SA bands - some good stuff.

I was looking for Celtic when I stumbled into Nightwish, then Epica.

It's out there, there is just so much now it can't be packaged like it used to be, we have to find it.
