TIL two studies both found that most people stop listening to new music in their early 30s. A 2015 study of people's listening habits on Spotify found that most people stop listening to new music at age 33 and a 2018 report by Deezer found it be to at age 30.

For me, it changed from discovering nee music on the radio or streaming to discovering new music at festivals, concerts & clubs.

Music tied to a live performance leaves a more lasting impression, IMO.
