I totally agree that at a certain stage, your horizons, at least for things new, is not as broad
Since the beginning of this century[[!) I've been telling friends, family, anyone not to ask me about music from after 1990. It's like I very suddenly lost interest in new music.
My nephew was born in 1984 and he has always respected Motown and my love for it. He recognizes Motown's importance and role in the hip-hop & 90's r&b he grew up with and loves. He recently told me he understood when I told him that nowadays, while I'm curious about new artists and trends, I'd rather spend my music time listening to my old favorites.
His sister was born in 1995 and, besides contemporary pop music, she fully appreciates the Beatles and the Supremes. She still has a ways to go before she's 30 but even she says she "doesn't get" some new music.
The sponge of youth becomes a bit of a sea urchin
LOL!
