I don't think you meant to post a recursive link to this post?
A place where we Talk Music. Share Tracks. Zap Sats.
Didn't you read it properly? 😜
Also, I'm growing up, now almost in mid 40s consistently losing interest and drive for music.
Is it true with others or is it me only?

I read it so properly that I went into source and found the link you'd meant to post. :-)
And I'm in my mid-50s, and very aware of the tendency to lost interest in new music, but both my wife and I have made a concerted effort to pay attention to new stuff, and I find that I'm listening to tons of great bands these days that weren't around even a few years ago. But it does take effort, for the reasons the article notes.
One thing not mentioned in the article or other similar ones is that music, more than other media, is one we repeat. We might re-read a few books, re-watch some movies and tv shows two or three times, but we'll play a song we like dozens and hundreds of times. So the more new music we add to our internal queue, the less any one song gets replayed.
Bonus: This Hard Times piece.

Thanks for the detailed response and I to get your opinion.
I and my wife have dissimilar taste for music. We can never listen to the same music sitting on the same couch. Like, I'm a lover of Imagine dragons but she loves Retros.
Because, music is what I deeply love, I want to stay connected. Why not we start a 'top songs of the week' or 'Latest Releases' or 'the best song in 10 years'? What do you say?

There's so many different "themed" posts we could do for sure. I love the idea of "Latest releases" I love discovering new music. "Top songs of the week" sounds great! As does "best in 10" these would make great additions to the growing weekly posts. But I sadly don't have the time to do them all. If you're interested in doing them, I fully back that idea. 0x and Bellzer already have bought great ideas in weekly posts to the territory and I'm all for it.
