    I still have all my old music from high school. I very occasionally go back and listen to it but not really.

    I’ve found myself looking up music that came out when I was a teenager that I didn’t really listen to. I do not care about present day pop music. I didn’t really then, either. My tastes have often been unstuck in time, in high school I got into Bon Jovi but not Bounce or Have A Nice Day, I went out and bought a copy of Slippery When Wet. The album they released while I was a zygote.

    I don’t listen to the radio, not the broadcast bands anyway, I’m not really exposed to a lot of new music, and I’ve kind of stopped caring.

      I’m the same. I never really cared for pop music and really focus on older Jazz, cultural/folk/world, and classical music.

      I don’t think that you’re stuck, but you probably don’t get your music from the same places that the masses get it from. That’s fine, you’re doing your own thing.

      Sometimes I can get a moment of nostalgia hearing music from high school, but I wasn’t so much into it at the time and I am also not convinced that all of us has aged well.
