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 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.
