For me the change pretty much happened when I was 22. I've been near permanently disappointed with music for the last two years, with only a few exceptions, and it's rarely something I obsess over anymore - something that would've been unimaginable for me about five/six years ago.

I think chart music has been in the doldrums for at least 8 or 9 years but then I've never been much of a fan of mainstream music anyway.

That doesn't mean I don't get a kick out of listening to new music whether it's been Marina or Deerhoof or Electric Wizard.

Maybe those acts are derivative but I still get a thrill out of hearing them.

 

I was 26 in 1995 right in the middle of Britpop. Absolutely loved so many records that year just like any other year before or since, just had to dig a little deeper sometimes.

I still find records from the 60s, 70s and 80s and 90s that I have never heard before and absolutely adore (Bratmobile or some obscure late 60s psych record go here.)

 

If you truly love music it will never go away especially now when it's all become so easy to access.

I was 26 in 2009, it was the last year, when I followed to UK charts. In my situation UK charts music started to be bad in 2004 with awful urban and dance invasion.

Today I dig in retro music / charts (From late 40s to early 80s) and almost don't listen modern songs. Mainstream music mostly (90 %) is shit, but alternative even miles worse.

It's very hard to find something new (even from retro), which I will like but didn't heard before. :cry: :cry:

Well I'm 26 next year but I already find myself playing older music rather than new music ATM as opposed to the last few years were I would seek out new music above all else. I tend to be swaying a lot to music of my childhood or discovering older music from before I was born and listening for the first time instead..

You are not looking hard enough.
