I'm in the latter half of my 20s and am discovering new music at a rate faster than I have ever before.
Granted, none of this is popular music - the latest discographies I've added to my collection are some unsigned metal bands from the Middle East - but I'm curious how this changes when you go from just pop music to music discovery in general.
- chubot 12y agoWhich metal bands? I'm in my mid thirties, but in my late twentites I was also discovering new music I liked at a high rate -- and playing in a metal band, which helps a lot. Invariably musicians are listening to things that most people don't; they're on the leading edge. In other words, I think you can avoid the frozen dad syndrome by hanging out with musicians :)
- cthalupa 12y agoThere has been some recent press on AlNamrood, so I went and looked into a bunch of other bands from the region - basically went to metal-archives.com and searched by country, and went and grabbed a bunch of stuff off bandcamp http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/SA http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/SA http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/BH http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/BH http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/IQ http://www.metal-archives.com/lists/IQ (The country list feature on MA is pretty awesome! Plan on using it some more in the future to try and find interesting bands)
