What are you doing to prepare to not be able to listen to unfamiliar music once you turn 30?

thankfully I'm not british, so that won't happen

Glad I'm not a Brit then because I've been discovering music the entire time while working, studying and parenting.

I'm 29 and I think I'm moving into this stage now. I only have patience for a certain colouring of music and I look back at my discovery phase in my teens and 20s and a lot of the stuff I thought was cool then I realize now was dog shit.

My scoutmaster always told me I was above average in a special way.

Generalisation, if you are here in the first place it obviously doesn't apply.
I'm over 30, have a kid and a busy life but I make time to listen to new music.

when I was a teenager I thought modern music sucked and just listened to boomer music, now 28 I listen to way more pop and current stuff than I did at 18

I'm 31 and I still listen to new music. 30 is just the average. if you're on a music board you probably won't suddenly stop listening to new music once you hit 30. One thing that I've noticed is I've continued to keep up with more niche genres like underground dance music or extreme metal (which I've always liked), but I've stopped paying attention to more general "indie" music or like hyped sorta stuff. I used to sort of keep up and casually follow that sort of thing, like i'd listen to the new blood orange record or beach house or whatever. I've noticed, for example, that for music festivals, I recognize less and less of the names (sometimes I don't even recognize the names of headliners). i still actively seek out new music though, i'm just less concerned with knowing every new artist that gets buzz.

I "stopped listening to new music" about ten years ago when everything went to shit. I think I just missed whatever this is and became a boomer at the right time.

I had a resurgence of consuming new music at 30 that I hadn't had since my early 20s.

This is bullshit, I'm in my fucking 40s and I'm always looking for new music. In fact I despise a lot of the crap I used to listen to
>radiohead
>the tragically hip
>all that cancon canadian stations played
>pink floyd
>the doors
>rage against the whatever
>did I mention radiohead
>etc
I still like bizkit tho

I don't regret listening to Radiohead. I regret ever admitting I listen to Radiohead, though.

Elderfag here. I've been 30 since 1995. And I'll be the first to admit, I do not like much of what I hear lately. BUT, I have gotten into Radiohead, Wolf Alice, a few other post-mid-90's bands. For me it's mostly about songwriting, and secondarily, I guess, about the style - obviously I like guitar-based rock. But if you can write a good song, I'll listen to it. It might not register all at once but if it's got value it will eventually find its way into my collection. Anyway, not true about music being over at 30, I give it all a chance.

>the tragically hip
>bad
San Diegan here... trying to get that kino on alt radio rn

>I still like bizkit tho
early onset dementia hitting you hard

Do they not have jobs or do they just listen to the same shit every day on the way to work?

weird because I'm 29 and I've been struggling to get into new types music or care enough to go looking.

Not bad, I hope I'm as open to new music as you into my golden years

Music discovery stalls for Britons

Do bongs really have to go to market stalls to get their new music?

Is this a licensing issue?

I'm 27 and I can see myself stalling when it comes to new music. I'm fairly current on genres I like like shoegaze and post-rock but other than that very few things make it onto my radar and even fewer stick.

When I was 15 I listened to so much stuff, but at that age you don't even know what music you like so it's sort of necessary.

It also doesn't help that poptimism has taken over the music industry. I feel like 12 years ago pop music wasn't taken seriously, so a list of the top albums of the year was going to contain more great albums than popular ones that have redeeming qualities.

Just to prove I'm not crazy, here's Pitchfork's top 10 from 2010
1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
3. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
4. Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty
5. Beach House - Teen Dream
6. Vampire Weekend - Contra
7. Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me
8. James Blake - The Bells Sketch EP / CMYK EP / Klavierwerke EP
9. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today
10. Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

and 2021
1. Jazmine Sullivan: Heaux Tales
2. L’Rain: Fatigue
3. Tyler, the Creator: Call Me If You Get Lost
4. Floating Points / Pharoah Sanders / The London Symphony Orchestra: Promises
5. Low: HEY WHAT
6. Turnstile: Glow On
7. The Weather Station: Ignorance
8. Mdou Moctar: Afrique Victime
9. Playboi Carti: Whole Lotta Red
10. Dry Cleaning: New Long Leg

These days it's really hard to come across good new music through hype and good reviews when so much ink is dedicated to bullshit.

im old and well above 30 and I keep finding new music
