I wonder if the “new music sounds like noise” reaction from older adults comes less because it exists and more because they realize that new music will never sound the same as what they listened to when they’re in college and it makes them resentful. I’ve noticed that I don’t get an “ugh not this again” reaction when I’m looking for new music but I’ll get it when I hear it in like car commercials or I hear it being used for memes. Been trying not to react that way now that I know where it’s coming from though because it’s uncharitable.

For context I think Bellamy from Muse does a good job in this interview of explaining what separates newer music from what was popular when I was in high school and college.
