That's just getting older and more set in your ways.

e: also the problem with stuff these days is there's so much of it that sounds exactly like 20 other bands that aren't all that great it's getting harder to find the really interesting stuff

The worst thing about it is that I really hate avant garde and overly proggy experimental metal so I'm left with bands playing genres I like but just rehashing what better bands did before. I don't think metal was ever as varied as people seem to think and that unfortunate opinion leads to either a) bands trying so hard to be new and fresh while making their entire sound a gimmick stuffed into a corner (djent/fusion with chugs) or b) writing the same stuff their heroes did but watering it down to the formula they know makes sense. There's just no personality and honesty in so many bands. Listen to Megadeth and then listen to something like Skeletonwitch. I don't dislike the latter but there's such a stark contrast of personality and human feel between them and it's something I see in too many newer bands.

Yeah, there's also the thing where as you get older and less driven by hormones, there's less association of that music with certain really strong feelings like there was when you were younger. It's just a bunch of art that you can appreciate or not. It makes it hard to feel the same way about anything. My inability to get my identity tied up in any of my musical tastes anymore makes me feel less strongly about bands by itself.

Nordick: Sep 3, 2011; Yes.

Man, my off-hand comment sparked an interesting discussion. I feel accomplished!

It's absolutely true that the sheer amount of different music that is readily available these days has the downside of saturation. Even still, at any given time there are usually a few albums I'm fixed on listening to repeatedly. The better the album the larger a chunk of my weekly listening it will take, and the slower it'll fade out from rotation, but eventually everything will drop into "reserve" so to speak, to be replaced with other new discoveries. Then of course there are the permanent favourites that I will keep going back to time and again.

Another little thing I realised at some point is that my musical taste has been reaching further backwards in time the older I've gotten. As a teenager I was all about the 90s euro power metal stuff, when I grew up a bit I started appreciating the 80s style cheese and poo poo, and the closer I got to 30 the more I started liking all that 70s sounding buzz and groove and stuff.
Then I kinda skipped a bit and jumped all the way to swing. :v:

Speaking of 70s sounding stuff, I discovered the self-titled debut of Blues Pills a year late, but I played the everloving poo poo out of this album last year. So loving good.

This is probably true for a lot of us here. I'll sometimes spend a few hours going through youtube links, or spotify related artists, trying to find new stuff that I like and I very rarely have much luck with it. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there, but there's something about the core group of bands in their respective genre. So, I end up listening to the same stuff on heavy rotation, with an occasional new album every once in a while.

Just ask in here instead, you're much more likely to end up with something cool.

gently caress me, now this thread is making me feel too young. I was only born a week or so after Megadeth released Cryptic Writings and I feel like I missed out on a lot of bands in their heyday.

You missed all the good memories at concerts that ever were, and ever will be. All you can ever aspire to is seeing lame-rear end ripoffs echoing the good old days live next to a 14 year old FFDP fan with his soccer mom escort on one side and bros drinking Red Bull on the other.

Hail Satan.

Being old just means you can get drunk at the show and not in the parking lot while the opening bands are playing.

If anybody's going to be in RVA tonight, my band Bearstorm is opening for goddamn ABSU on the first night of their tour. Come up to me and say something goony and I'll give you a CD or a shirt or whatever, I'm the dude in glasses and an Opeth shirt.
