"Why do some people stop embracing new music after the age of 28?
I’d happily wager you first encountered this music in your teens, or your early 20s, at a push. The chances you discovered your most treasured tunes after the age of 30 are precisely zilch. Or so says a new study, anyhow, which claims to have identified the exact moment listeners stop embracing new music: 27 years and 11 months. After that, our ears apparently shrivel up and we turn inwards, condemned to an endless repetitive homage to our younger selves. The so-called onset of “musical paralysis” certainly goes a long way to explaining today’s lucrative gold rush of reformed nostalgia tours, anniversary reissues and tribute acts.After interviewing 5,000 people on three continents, Deezer’s self-interested study concluded that two thirds (65 per cent) of respondents only listen to tracks they already know, highlighting an undeniable but uncomfortable truth: the music we grew up with shaped us and will stay with us forever, while seeking new sounds wields increasingly diminishing returns. With age, our palates grow ever-more finely tuned and harder to shock, while influencing social circles contract and free time to explore evaporates."https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/why-do-some-people-stop-embracing-new-music-after-the-age-of-28-1.745165
