The 20 year old just hit me with "I'd say if you even bother trying to listen to the radio, that's already the sign you're old."

Is he wrong? A little. You could also be living in a different country, I suppose, where radio still matters.

If the kid turns out a little goofy, we know why.

I have Sirius now because my wife got it for me for a Christmas gift but I prefer the relative randomness of radio vs the way Spotify and whatnot lock you into your own choices.

That being said, I am old so ‍idk.

I must admit I've regressed into full blown "nothing new is good" mode like a REAL codger and just listen to the ~2000ish tracks I have in Plex on random, forever reliving the past.

I genuinely wonder if my "Today's music is ... ehhh" attitude is because it's not like what I grew up with, it is "bad" due to association with the times, it's because I missed all the stuff in the middle (meaning I can't see the transition/evolution), because it's too commercially motivated/formulaic, or some other reason(s).

Though I keep my own MP3 playlists for when we travel out of state, I still prefer to flip through the local radio stations in the car. I like the randomness. Also, I still try to keep an ear out for new artists. There's a lot of "bad", but there are still some gems that pop up.

Unfortunately if you do that here all you get is terrible country music

I do still occasionally add a new song to my library... but the entry path for new music to me is mostly informed by memes.

I am surrounded by teenagers, both at home and at work, and I find that leads to a lot of exposure to new music. Some of it is actually quite good! It’s a great way to keep infusing my Spotify playlists with new songs.

So how old was the bride?

The main reason I dislike radio is that I cannot deal with the stupid ads anymore. And some of my music taste is influenced by my 19 year old, but not all of it. I do take time to find new music tastes on Spotify, which you can do just by being willing to look for new music releases, or search for current music playlists.
