"According to an estimate from the International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry, an organisation that represents the international music industry,
people around the world spend on average 20.1 hours per week listening to
music, up from 18.4 hours in 2021.
We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world
of unfamiliar styles to explore.
The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all
ages.
Except, most of the time, it doesn’t.
Our willingness to explore new or unfamiliar music declines with age. Multiple
studies confirm the sentiments of US songwriter and musician Bob Seger:
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll"
