When do we stop keeping up with new music?

Without saying this is applicable to everyone, I think there's a general perception that as you get older, people stop listening to new music. After sixty years of research, it’s conventional wisdom: as people get older, they stop keeping up with popular music. Whether the demands of parenthood and careers mean devoting less time to pop culture, or just because they’ve succumbed to good old-fashioned taste freeze, music fans beyond a certain age seem to reach a point where their tastes have “matured”. http://skynetandebert.com/2015/04/22/music-was-better-back-then-when-do-we-stop-keeping-up-with-popular-music The study’s author reached this conclusion by slicing up tons of Spotify user data, as well as artist popularity data from another site called The Echo Nest. I just look at the older people I know, and this seems definitely true. In this moment I dont see myself in ten years listening to 00's and 10's music for the rest of life, but that may change. It's a weird feeling as I consume a vast amount of new music every year. What are your thoughts on this?

I stopped keeping up with new music when I had children.

I started keeping up again, when said chillins became teenagers and they kept me up.
