What age do we give up on popular music?

I’m nearly 38 and I’ve listened to more new music in the last year than at any point of my 30s. That’s partly to do with now having a job that means I can but also have refound my enthusiasm for it. And I think it’s to do with the fact that it’s so much easier to listen to stuff. In my 20s I had to read about something on here or in a magazine or whatever then either buy it or download it rather than streaming. Now I can just sit at my desk and try something out, if I don’t like it then move on to the next thing.
I don’t suffer from not having anyone to talk to about it cause the 2 or 3 people I did chat to irl about these things are still pretty interested and the rest of my conversations are on here. I’ll level with you though, the thought of going to see anyone live leaves me absolutely cold these days. Other people, out past 11pm, expensive pints; no thank you.
