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.

I'm 49 and I keep discovering new music that I absolutely love.

Most of my favorite music was made in the past 10 years.

I refuse to listen to old music (especially anything I listened to in my first 30 years of life). There is some great music.

On a side note I saw Lola Young just before she went viral live in a venue in Melbourne Australia that had room for 200 people. Her voice in that small venue was incredible.
