This doesn’t match my personal experience at all. I hardly liked any of the music I heard on the radio as a teenager. (That would be the 90’s). Later on, I found that I liked the current music better- and there are still songs from my 20’s that I come back to. But each decade I discover new artists, I stay with those records for a while, then they start sounding dated and I move on. I do put deliberate effort into discovering new artists though. And, I’m a musician myself so maybe that’s part of it. I really listen to almost nothing from my teenage years though. There is such an incredible amount of new music coming out every day that it’s hard to keep up with it! Right now I’m listening to 100 gecs a lot, childish gambino, narrow head, ohtis, thee oh sees, fazerdaze, and wimps.

Anybody who really just gets stuck on music from their teens is missing out on so much I can’t even express it.
