My music taste is narrowing as I get older
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2017 7:34 amWhen 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?
