Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago? (beehaw.org)

I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?

Don't be too hard on your friends. This is actually scientifically proven. https://neurosciencenews.com/music-youth-17765/ You love the music that you "grew up with as you were forming an identity" You can always change but it is more work to create new memories and nostalgia based on different or "new" songs.

Of course not 😅 I'm not judging them at all, I finished years ago that phase where I thought my music taste what better than theirs ~~now I just know it is~~ /s
