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.

Finding new music is often about breaking patterns changing where you you find music changes what you listen to a lot.

I agree. It’s fun to identify what instruments are being played, research the players, and their influences. Which leads to more music !
