Wow really? I honestly thought a large percentage of people only ever listen to stuff they heard in high school and college for the rest of their lives like it defined them.
I try my hardest to give new stuff a listen. I like music a lot so its enjoyable, but it does get harder the older I get to keep up. Theres something amazing for every genre if you look hard enough.
Why does music have to relate to a time when life didn’t suck for it to mean the most? If anything I think most of the music people listened to in high school was emotional and an outlet for people who were trying to find who they were. Plenty of those people were probably more angry then than they are now.
I like life, no issues with it. I probably enjoyed it more 20 years ago then I do now, but I have hopes things will be better in the next few years. Not everyone on Lemmy hates everything.
