So, I'm one of those people who's musical tastes are sort of locked in a time before I was born. I find I can readily converse with guys in their 60s about music, and I have no clue what's really been going for the past 16 years, but I've hate almost everything I've managed to hear of it. The 90s was the most recent period with a bastion of music I liked, and I think the 80s were kind of worse than the 90s (though, still better than the last 16 years, apparently).
I don't have pretension about this. I'd much rather like new music than think I'm stuck with the same stuff for the rest of my life. But I find looking for music really unpleasant. The process of trying to listen to one unfamiliar artist after another, in the hopes that I might like them, only to pass on disappointment after disappointment, is somehow psychologically exhausting. I can hardly bring myself to do it.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any methods that get around it somehow?
