Do We Stop Finding New Music After 30?

🎙️ Are We Too Old to Discover New Music? There was a time when discovering new music meant mixtapes from friends, trusted radio DJs, flipping through Spin or Rolling Stone, or taking a chance on an entire album because you liked one song. Now we have Spotify algorithms, Shazam, YouTube, social media, and a seemingly endless supply of music at our fingertips. But does having access to more music actually mean we're discovering more of it? In this episode, we talk about how our relationship with new music (and new to us) has changed as we've gotten older, why 30 seems to be the dreaded age when people supposedly stop seeking out new artists, and the very different ways we find music now. We also share some of our favorite recent discoveries and how we found them, from Spotify autoplay and Shazam to friends, concert apps, music magazines, and random YouTube rabbit holes. 🎵 Link to the Spotify mix: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/74p...
