Tastes change with age?


Felt old, today, when I was seemingly unreasonably annoyed when a kid drove by in a rattling junk car with a boomin' system.  Pretty sure the kid thought it sounded good.

It's unreasonable, because I may or may not have once been a kid in a rattling junk car with a ridiculous set of subwoofers who may or may not have thought it sounded good at the time.  I guess tastes change with age, wisdom, exposure, and experience.  A "friend" might have once been able to stomach some Mad Dog 20/20 Orange Jubilee but now thinks he appreciates terroir.

Aside from perhaps having more "disposable" income as "audiophiles" age or moving with technology, might others prefer different types of music/gear than they once upon a time did?

Hey...I still listen to the old Cat Stevens albums! OK, not the new Cat Stevens (aka Yusef), but early Cat Stevens i.e.Tea for the Tillerman, Mona Bone Jakon and Teaser and the Firecat were genius, and still relevant today. He absolutely deserves his place in the R&R Hall of Fame.
I do listen to music at lower volume than I did when I was younger. But my taste in music elevated to it's exquisitely high level at an early age ;-).
FYI, this website continues to update previous posts with your current number of posts. As of today (11/8/17), I’m at 669. I am so proud. Yeah!
I play less vinyl now because of arthitis and I'm to lazy to get up and turn the album over!
