lol there's a dnb record from Joker records (1997) for which I wrote a scathing review on cogs which also samples Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

Most of my friends have matured from liking some music to not seeming to listen to anything any more. Apart from going to the odd gig. I also know people who have never liked any music; they make me feel like a damn fool for bothering with any of it.

The practice of 'developing taste' tends to send people towards conformity as they will privilege music they're told they should like over music they're told they shouldn't. What they're conforming to is their target aspirational social group and what they end up with is a marketeer's set of socio-economic status signifiers.

Hey, this calumny will not stand. My personal listening habits extend at least as far as psychedelic doom metal, dark ambient drone, Killah Priest and Radio 3.

I was thinking earlier about how Chopin (+schumann, schubert, beethoven) was so important to me as a teenager/early-20s-er and how nowadays I hardly ever listen to him and prefer other, often more staid composers, less Romantic, more classical/baroque... (scarlatti, handel, mozart, bach).
Could just be I rinsed that music to death ofc, but I wonder if it is something to do with being a teenager, very hormonal, very emotional, thrown out of the garden of pre-teendom and feeling very melancholic about your newfound acqaintance with (at least the otion of) mortality and sexual frustration?
And then for some of us we extend that acquaintance with extreme emotions via drugs and then it becomes all about our chosen form of dance music.
Now, fully adult (if not mature), those old extreme emotions aren't commonplace anymore. But when you're a teenager you're hormonally keyed up to feel passionate about whatever music moves you, and when you're grown up you subliminally long for those strong emotions again.

this isn't the mid 80s, we aren't going to jennuflect at the shrine of Bourdieu, for fuck's sake! get your flatulent arse out of gear 1 for the first time, if possible...

Reality can be pretty basic sometimes: if your putative peer group prefers one performer to another but you reflexively oriented yourself towards the opposite, why on earth would you want to hang with those guys?
The way to reduce this influence is to listen without prejudice, set your algorithm to random (@sus ), and buy records solely on the strength of their covers.
because it's just signification. as long as you know what you're talking about, you will be able to criticise them. For instance nearly everyone on this forum likes either the gallaghers or the beatles, and I can stand neither.

This thread has made me think i probably have some form of musical ADHD. I get burned out so quickly with music, especially in the car.
Few new albums a month, try and get new mixes into the rotation all the time.
I think the affliction discussed in the original post is streaming app lethargy more than anything else, though. Very easy to get burned out by poorly discerning algorithms or dodgy curated playlists
