While I still like most of the music I did at age 14, I continue to find new music I like. I don’t discard much. If I liked it at one point I usually still like it.
I listen to 100x more varied/different music than I used to listen to.
but I also listen to what I used to listen to.
Lol nah
14 year old me listened to a lot of heavy metal variations along with emo rock and that kind of jazz. Now, as a 34 year old man, I still occasionally enjoy some of that, but my music taste has developed and matured, so now I mostly listen to girly pop music.
The metal head to swifty pipeline
When I was 14, “Zombie”, by the Cranberries, was the music of the year.
I still go back occasionally but there’s a lot more to listen. And I’ve discovered other genres since then.
It ain’t me, sis/bro. I might occasionally find a song to loop for a while, but in general I hate when things play on repeat. Always searching for something new.

Not even a little bit true for me. I listened to pretty much only country at 14 and I don’t listen to any country now, not even the stuff I liked then. By 16 I had switched to mostly rock & alternative. I will still listen to that occasionally, mostly for nostalgia, but it isn’t on any of my playlists. I suspect most everything on my regular playlists came out after I was 30, but it continues to shift forward over time. I suspect eventually most of my current playlist will age out too.
What a boring life that would be, damn.
This is actually not true at all for me. My music tastes completely evolved and still are evolving. Sure, if I listen to some 08 pendulum I feel some nostalgia, but I also feel nostalgia for 2112 in the same way. I think music is a comfort food for a lot of people so they never stray from what they know, which is fine. But there’s so much out there to find.
I agree. Now that I’m old, my tastes are finally starting to gel, but I’m still always looking for great new musical experiences. I’ve gravitated to LOTS of great music, and even entire new genres, that became a regular part of my listening long past 14.
I started playing the guitar again during the pandemic, after stopping for decades. Now I’ve become a good enough player, that most of the time, I’d rather just listen to my own self-played solo guitar music. That definitely wouldn’t have been on my radar in my teens.
Same here, i still have a backlog of music in my genre i have yet to fully explore, but i also do go back to old favourites for that nostalgia hit.
A lot of people are happy enough inside their comfort zone, they’re likely to die there. The people that say they haven’t made good music since the XX’s probably haven’t spent much time searching for music they’d like.
Who are these people
Are we just posting screenshots now?

I think it depends on the year. In my 14th year, there were relatively few bangers. There were a lot more ballads back then, and they’ve aged poorly.
-
I predate digital music, I listened to the radio, but only had so many tapes, so I didn’t get to hear what I wanted all the time. What I did get to hear where those ballads over and over.
-
I only listened to rock and metal back then. I can now appreciate R&B and Country from back then, but I don’t get nostalgic from it.
-
I listen to almost everything except what I listened at 14. At some point I figured out my peers had terrible musical taste and I started listening to what I actually enjoy.
Completely wrong.
Would you like to talk about your new trauma?
I fell in the monstercat rabbit hole as a kid.
Then branched out into melodic electronic, synthwave, drum & bass, classical electro, french techno, french rap, classical piano, Ghibli lofi, Zelda nostalgia, and a myriad other genres as an adult.
Not everybody is like that. I didn’t hear a lot of pop music until college, and didn’t really develop my own taste until my 20s.
