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.
