Yup. Getting old is a tough pill to swallow. An early sign is when you don’t care about new music.

Face it, popular music exists for teenagers to claim their spot. Their unique identity from previous generations. The new and fresh - it’s about today and they are today.

But that's just the point. New music all sounds the same. Half-spoken, mumbled lyrics- check. Autotuned to death- check. Forgettable tunes- check.

That's weird, the stuff I'm listening to has good clarity and writing and inventiveness. I'm listening to people like cory wong, theo katzman, ariel posen, big wild, chris thile's various groups, john grant, louis cole.

Maybe whatever you're using to find new music just sucks? blink twice if it's a clearchannel playlist.
