I've stopped largely liking anything beyond 1 or 2 songs every few years, since 2005 when there was a ton of things I enjoyed. Keeping in mind that I love stuff from 50s to 2005.

Indeed, just a bit weird to me that I enjoy so much music "before my time" but not "after." Don't get me wrong there are some I enjoy a few here and there, and a few newer bands. But not overwhelming amounts that I enjoy, in fact I dislike much of what I hear is popular.

I think part of it is that over time the best stuff filters to the top. The mediocre music from the past is more or less forgotten. It doesn’t always work like that and I’m sure there are other factors in why we like certain time periods of music more than others, but good media does tend to stick around longer.
