What Happens To Our Musical Taste As We Age?

Posted by timothy on Thursday May 14, 2015 @07:54AM from the it-gets-righter-of-course dept.

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."

As for my demographic, there's no pop music about cubicles, TPS reports, traffic jams, mortgages, diapers, etc.
That would be country.
