Good article with data framing how we explore new music in our youth, and then settle into a set of music that we are comfortable with and then stay there.
Survey research from European streaming service Deezer indicates that music discovery peaks at 24, with survey respondents reporting increased variety in their music rotation during this time. However, after this age, our ability to keep up with music trends typically declines, with respondents reporting significantly lower levels of discovery in their early thirties. Ultimately, the Deezer study pinpoints 31 as the age when musical tastes start to stagnate.
I personally try to explore new music. I find it harder than I think it should be, but it does happen. Brandi Carlile is someone that Tammy and I adore and she is a newer artist. A lot of the EDM I like I've gotten after my mid-30s. But I do find that I have to sort of "work at it" to adopt new things.
