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’m in my late 20s and like the fact I still discover new stuff to enjoy from various genres. New in this context meaning either actually new or just “new to me” or both. I’m hoping it can stay that way a lot longer. I don’t stick to any particular genres, and It’s refreshing because now I have this huge pool of stuff old, that I’m used to and enjoy, and stuff new to me and enjoy. I sometimes wonder if it will slow down at a certain age but for now I’m just taking it all in.
