I’m 46 years old and the last time I loved the music I listened to in my teens was in my teens. Sure, I occasionally get nostalgic and throw on a hair metal power ballad or two, but otherwise I have no desire to listen to the past.

I do have some favorite artists (and genres) from certain points in my life, but I am always listening to new music, always seeking out that which I haven’t discovered yet. It is one of life’s greatest pleasures to have a whole new discography to work through. Some of my newest favorites include Dope Lemon, Snaildartha, Elwan, and Michael Kiwanuka. Seriously cannot fathom only (or mostly only) still listening to the same thing all these years. Not when there is so much good music out there all the time!
