anybody stop listening to “edgier” music as they aged?

I’m a :marseyzoomer: and my tastes were groomed by /mu/ and related outlets (rym, Needledrop, a good bit of r/*heads subs).

In the past 3ish years I’ve found myself unable to handle “experimental” or “noisy” bands. I used to enjoy just throwing on Sunn and chilling but now I’d rather listen to Steve Winwood.

I can’t put my finger on it exactly but it seems to be a mix of not having the patience for atonal music or really over listen to someone drone on about how life sucks.

Another big change is I can’t listen to a lot of politics heavy music. I think I’m realizing being good at music is probably antithetical to having fleshed out political opinions. Being masterful at communicating universal human experiences like love seems like a much more worthy goal than singing about how incels are bad.

Anybody else have a big shift in their music tastes over time?

I still listen to edgy music but my horizon has expanded much more that ill listen to more chill music now as well. One thing that has been my shit recently was hardstyle remixs of pop songs. Those songs go so hard while you're lifting

No I’m a boomer now and I stan Lil Mariko and the classics like DMX and Busta and still listen to punk (not pop punk, the lofi shitty punk) from 1970s-2020s

Yeah but more because my range of music expanded. However, I still go back to a middle school classic in the Marshall Mathers LP and others. :boomer:

MM LP was impressively offensive.

Kinda the opposite, I found nu-metal cringe when I was younger, but I have started to come around to it.

Not sure I’ve gotten there yet. Nu-Metal is too cringe for me in the same way Mallcore is

Yeah it tends to happen when you become the system they are raging and against and you realize you don't have any secret plan to frick everybody else over, you are just trying to get to work on time just like everybody else.

Some politics podcasts I'd agree that's the case, but I wouldn't even say music is that coherent most of the time.

I actually enjoy more creative avant garde music these days but I used to be really into horror core when I was a teen (along with death cab for cutie) specifically this one guy Brotha Lynch Hung

Hmm yesss I met Brotha Lynch Hung along with Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Stevie Stone, and Ces Cru back before they split up. Strictly Strange Music Tour 2017, baybee. Lynch is just as scary in person. 😳

If anything, I actually started recently getting back INTO that kind of music.

I used to into metal growing up but now I'm listening to synth and a lot of funk and house music. I generally dislike lyrics in my music lol
