I have to wonder how much of this is societal expectations as you age? or "Being an adult".
The idea that once you reach a certain age, you settle down, get into a routine, doing less new things, etc.
While yeah, a music streaming service could introduce you to new music. Maybe you will just find yourself in less situations where you will experience new music?
Listening to a new song on your phone is a drastically different experience to overhearing it while traveling, with friends, whatever.
I know I have a number of songs that bring up an emotional response due to certain events tied to them. And some of them are genres I would not have normally found myself listening too.
