Something Strange Happens To Your Taste In Music At Age 30

There are reasons why your grandparents still listen to Elvis Presley, your mother still like Bon Jovi and you still have a strange relationship with your favorite nonsense band.

Recent music streaming service Deezer's survey asked 1,000 British people about music preferences and streaming customs. According to their findings, people tend to experience 'music cymbals' around 30.5 years of age, so they no longer listen to new artists and genres and tend to stick to what they know .

The average age of music discovery is 24 years and 5 months, but women usually reach this peak one year ago. At this age, nearly 75% of respondents say that they are checking over 10 new tracks per week, 64% say they listen to more than 5 new artists each month. About 60% believe that they are in the midst of music, it is difficult to break the same old artist over and over again.

It is a bit familiar. This is just a small PR survey, but there seems to be science behind the result.

In some studies, humans point out that openness tends to decline as age goes up. According to a study, we found that openness towards experience tends to increase during our teenage years and eventually declines in the early twenties.

"Open experience" is one of five personality traits. It represents our curiosity, our preferences for diversity, our gratitude for aesthetics, and our desire to experience unknowns. This function seems to decline with age, so this explains why our music habits become stricter with our age.

There may be other factors in work. As we were young, especially as a teenager, we received the most influence of music around us. In the New York Times, data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz wrote that we were the smoothest Spotify songs, especially during the teen years, especially between 11 and 14 years old.

For example, a 41-year-old woman likes the song "Just Like Heaven" released at the age of 11 at The Cure. A 69 - year - old woman like Roy Orbison 's pretty lady was also released at the age of 11. This trend is seen in age and gender

During these adolescence, our ability to taste music seems to be affected. This may be due to the openness to our experience reaching a peak, or due to the reluctant young people having nostalgic elements. In any case, this window seems to be closed in the late 1920s, then we are to listen to the same three bands until our dying day

Musical hobbies: When our music preferences can not be accepted for life, 14 and 24 years old are actually 'magical era'. There are many reasons - these are days of high mood and sexual awakening; people tend to accept more open and new ones when young; as you get older your ears are all complex You will not notice music. After that, most of us stopped looking for new music and kept treating everything as tremendous noise. The situation got worse. Our character is approaching in a few years. When we were 30 years old, we were almost forever - Harvard psychologist William James called it "semi-closed". This means your core personality measured by "Big Five", open, outgoing, neurotic, and due diligence features is discovered, and most of you stop changing after 20's I will
