Most people subconsciously don't want to discover new music, they want to listen to songs that remind them of the world and feelings of freedom and discovery and experience they had in their late teens.

They want nostalgia. They don't want cognitive load, they want enjoyment with no strings and no effort.

Well I don't judge but yeah every year around Christmas we get another collection box of the Beatles and Bob Dylan...

Musical taste just seems to stop developing somewhere in your 20s or 30s.
