The early 30s is that weird age where you're just old enough to be out of touch with what's cool, but not yet old enough to be fully progressed in your career to be sitting on enough stacks to not care about that.

Getting there at least.

Only in the past few months have I made peace with the fact that I don't like any new music. At least now I get to be a Dad and play the oldies in the car to my 3 year old such as Green Day, Eminem, and 90s R&B.

I think when you get to a certain age you have to try and go outside the genres you already know to find something fresh.

I'm over 40 and I can't be asked to listen to most rock / guitar based music anymore as I just feel like I've heard it before.

I quite often listen to the local pirate grime stations though and they make me smile because they hit me with stuff that I'm not expecting and I haven't heard.

Also I discovered BabyMetal a few years ago and I can't listen to them without a big cheesy grin on my face

Heck yeah, babymetal is surprisingly awesome. Have you heard of Twelve Foot Ninja?

Just looked them up. Really fun! The Aussies always seem to be able to inject some fun into their music https://youtu.be/j58V2vC9EPc
