     @waifu Most of my media consumption happened then. It drastically slowed down in my late 20s. Mostly true I guess.

     Songs is probably mostly true, but i blame the times. Country music, as an example, was far superior 15-20 years ago. If they made similar tracks, i would listen.
     
     Likewise movies are all bad anyway. Games have gotten better.

     I still like the music I liked back then. I still occasionally find a new song I like but it's getting rarer. It's not just being older now, but the music industry got shittier. Same applies to movies. Games are technologically better these days, but stories and characters often suck. And don't even start me on books/fiction, a nosedive into terrain. Anime/mange is still mostly good.

     @Xenophon @waifu @BowsacNoodle I think it's both. When you're older, you're more established and set in your ways, so new things make less of an impression on you. You also have less free time if you have more constructive things to attend to.
     And if new things are bad, all the less incentive to try them.

     I suspect that there is a third factor for music. The recording industry doesn't seem to be good at setting musicians up to age gracefully. Some manage (perhaps more in Country music, not my cup of tea) but most musicians end up being sad echoes of their younger selves.

     @TheCanterburyPanther @waifu @Xenophon @Shauni They use autotune and a lot of behind the scenes writers and producers to basically make pop music into a very low barrier to entry industry. Some of them can sing and dance really well, but you get others that are pretty enough but otherwise couldn't cut it as a touring artist on their own merits getting carried by producers.
