I listen more to OG s*** now

As I’ve grown older I appreciate music more because life becomes more of a nightmare & music continues to be a lifeline

Love rediscovering music from my teens That s*** hits man.

Late night nostalgia sessions

the music you listen to must suck

Music still cheers me up out of a bad mood

it's always fresh to me cause I'll typically go through phases specific to regions or genres, I might listen to some DMV rappers for 2-3 weeks, then check out Bay area artists, switch over to afrobeats, then back to my usual bangers, etc. I finally checked out LUCKI last week after hearing about him for yeaaars. Idk it's always some discographies I haven't delved into yet

If a new artist came out with some music the OP liked or if he discovered a artist making the music he likes.

Will he not like it?

Or he will automatically not like it because he is "older" lol

Im in the exact same boat and have been since like 2018. My top artists and tracks have been ridiculously similar to the year preceding

like Earl Sweatshirt has been in my top 4 for 3 years. Robb Banks in there too. Lucki in my top 10 for 2 years

I gotta do better

Personally, not as motivated to seek out music right now because I use new stuff I listen to help develop an association between it and new life events. Right now things feel stagnant because of quarantine and I don't want to dredge up bad memories when I listen to something I like in the future

What a queen

Couple years older than you. I think 23-24 this really started to become noticeable.

Because the older you get the wacker you realize these new artists are

I just listen to mostly the same s*** now

Barely bother to branch out

this why i'll never get tired of music. there's just so much out there, it can be overwhelming but it's also a blessing

Alot of the artists that big into rap these days dont love it either lol

at least the gangsta niggas from yesteryear actively cared about the genre. Thug, Baby, Gunna, you got so many artists who basically just came into this s*** cuz they knew they was gonna be hot or someone told em they would

The s*** is so fun to explore to me, I've done it as a kid and I'll never stop

you can't just say this just because people are not into the music being released for a moment. Like the overall quality of hiphop albums has gone down in my opinion since the streaming era and being an album person that tainted my enjoyment levels a bit. I still go back to the older albums (especially early 10s which were god tier) when i feel like it's getting too stale

I always think it's a bit weird when people say ''you didn't love hiphop te begin with'' when people criticize the newer subgenres of hiphop music tbh

I still love the newschool, cause i was hella excited about people like Juice for example who did new things, but i really honestly believe there's also just a lot of thrash being pushed down our throats by the mainstream

This, but also there’s soooo many genres and sub genres out there. Don’t be afraid to go outside your comfort zone

Because if there wasn't a check behind it these dudes wouldn't ever touch a mic
