In case you needed another reason to feel far older than you actually are, a new survey by music streaming platform Deezer, via NME, suggests that by the time you hit 30, you reach something called “musical paralysis.”
That means 30-year-olds have hit the threshold when they no longer seek out new music, or are open to listening to something new and beyond their established taste....
Survey participants gave various reasons for just why they’ve checked out of the music scene, mostly citing having children and too demanding a job to keep up with what’s new.
A considerable 65 per cent said they usually only listen to artists they already know. But 60 per cent said they do wish they had more time to listen to new material — they’re just too busy.
Among the worst offenders are those music fans in Wales and Northern England, where people give up on finding new music by 24 and 23, respectively, while Scottish fans hold out the longest, hitting their threshold at 40.

I was closer to 50. Loved my kids music in the 80s (I was in my 30s) and all through the next decade (in my 40s) I re-discovered Country.
I’m curious by nature, and thus an outlier...
I even like some rap.
Trance/techno/dance is the only thing that really sends me diving for the off button.
Good One! Far too many songs for me to say “my favorite” but it’s in some Top-10 by genre with San Antonio Rose and Red River Valley. On another list would be Moonlight Serenade - Glenn Miller and Sinatra vocal. Sinatra’s version of “Sgt. Bilko’s” “Nancy” is also a winner.
