What Happens To Our Musical Taste As We Age?
An anonymous reader writes: New research from Spotify and Echo Nest reveals that people start off listening to chart-topping pop music and branch off into all kinds of territory in their teens and early 20s, before their musical tastes start to calcify and become more rigid by their mid-30s. "Men, it turns out, give up popular music much more quickly than women. Men and women have similar musical listening tendencies through their teens, but men start shunning mainstream artists much sooner than women and to a greater degree."
Why do you need new bands? Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.
but men start shunning mainstream artists much sooner than women and to a greater degree
That's cause we're much cooler than women.

Pop themes like true love, freedom, rebellion, and partying fall on the deaf ears of millenials who've seen systemic police corruption and racism as a tool of an increasingly totalitarian state basically wipe the concepts out.
Lol. That's been going on a lot longer than "millenials" have been around.
I used to listen to Rage Against The Machine. Now I'm a cog in the machine. It was all bullshit anyways.
As for my demographic, there's no pop music about cubicles, TPS reports, traffic jams, mortgages, diapers, etc.

That would be country.

Mixing Country and Rap will get you Crap.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
If my girlfriend does it with her smartphone the battery will be dead within a couple hours
Well yeah, obviously the vibrate feature is going to drain the battery pretty quickly. How long does it last when she uses the camera though?
