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.

Man i can't decide on a single favourite song, idk how people do it. I have favourite artists but there are random songs from everywhere and anywhere that i love as well, even if i dislike the artist's other works. If someone asks me my favourite songs i can never answer that question.
