The age of your 'Musical Brain Freeze'
Just read some interesting stats about individual listening patterns.
Apparently (and pretty obviously) when we are under 25 the majority of our listening comes via 'popular' 'trending' 'mainstream' 'recommended' channels and more women than men stay in this zone for longer.
Between 25 and 35 we start to move away, experiment a little with music outside the middle and by our mid 30s we have established our peak listening 'turn ons' and rarely try to keep up with current trends, they make less impact on us.
After that it seems we will either stay with our chosen styles and genres OR many of us revert back to the music we grew up with, ironically this has now become less popular and doesn't feature in the mainstream.
Just thought that was interesting and fair comment. Does this fit your listening history I wonder ?

so listener, interesting topic, a good one indeed, Can;t say that my listening habits follow that pattern,at all I am all over the map given i am in the promotions of artists songs to radio and I would say I am an exception to the above rule, that being due to the profession I am in.I listen to so much music and many styles and inundated with peoples cds they send or online or dropbox where I get most of my stuff these days. I I guess I am blessed that way

I might add that being here at I M P broadens the scope of our listening of the variety of songs that are here as well,. so I think it actually helps change peoples habits for the betterment of our appreciation of all kinds of music. cheers to all and rock on

I usually don't pay much attention to these sociological studies in regards to music. I've seen many with specious conclusions. but it makes for a good topic. :)

Must be accurate Scott, look what the researcher said :-
For this study, I started with individual listening data from U.S. Spotify users and combined that with Echo Nest artist popularity data, to generate a metric for the average popularity of the artists a listener streamed in 2014. With that score per user, we can compute a median across all users of a specific age and demographic profile. Blah blah blah blah blah........

Here's another "study" which claims that Kanye West has a bigger vocabulary than Bob Dylan!

After letting this post percolate for a while, I am going to conclude that I do actually fit that description quite well. Glove-like, really.

Hi Listener. Good to see you. I have no opinion on this really..I tend to love good songs...Some are very old, before I was born..Some of my favourite songs are from my teen years...But I I have kids who keep me open minded to new music..as long as it's got substance...A good song is a good song, regardless of how old or new.. I don't think I am stuck in a time warp...even though....I think there's a lot of present commercial crap that is considered popular.. So my parents thought the music I listened to was crap...Does the older generation always think the music of the next generation is crap?
