I'm not sure why you're presenting this dichotomy that you can only listen to old music or new music. I listen to and love both, I'm surprised that someone like you who clearly has a deep interest in music would rule one out. > And for the record I love music. I’m a multi-instrumentalist, I’ve played professionally in weddings, bars, played buckets in a street performing band, and continue to study music, actively taking classical piano lessons, composing songs. I play every day. This comment makes your perspective particularly strange. Do you only play covers? Have you ever tried writing your own music? If so, does that mean that you wouldn't listen to your own music until a decade after you wrote it? Because it's a bit hypocritical to only listen to music that is more than a decade old, and still expect people to give your new music a chance considering it hasn't stood the test of time. Do you think Elvis would have ever had a chance to make a living off of his music if everyone was like you? > anyone who prefers older music You're not just saying you prefer older music though, you're saying you're not even giving new music a chance: > It’s hard for me to justify giving modern music a chance when I haven’t even given the established greats a chance. That's pretty absurd in my opinion.
