RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Teaching my daughter about genres of music makes me feel old and realize that to me, music has peaked. (lemmy.world)

Yeah, I kind of sound like a music snob or an old man at this time. I’ve been introducing her to classic rock, heavy metal, 90s hip-hop, R&B, 90s and 80s pop, 90s 2000s and 2010s techno, and so on.

I just like the idea. She’s very receptive to this and wants to hear a different genre each morning before school. Welcome to the world of dadding.

Like are you gonna trawl through 5 billion songs to find 1000 ones that blow your mind?

I think 5 billion might be a bit of an exaggeration :P

But yeah I do listen to a lot of new music, one of the big ones for finding new music is live performances like Defqon1

They have lots of colour stages, for example Gold stage is old school hardstyle:

Yellow (uptempo):

Red which is the main stage and this set in particular is the legends set which goes through all the top hardstyle producers in their eras playing their stuff

00:00 - Epoch 1: 2000 - 2005

00:23:34 - Epoch 2: 2005 - 2010

01:33:18 - Epoch 3: 2010 - 2015

02:55:32 - Epoch 4: 2015 - 2020

04:08:42 - Epoch 5: 2020 - 2025

04:41:46 - The Closing Ritual

Then maybe I go oh this song from late 90's sounds good, wonder what else was going on before then, then I can hop on Spotify and search for early 90's rave:

Early 90s rave classics

Classic rave tracks from (mostly) 1990-1995. Everything from chart hits to underground hardcore.

or maybe I'll hear something new like https://youtu.be/QeD-amb0vA0?t=580 and want to hear more so then I lookup the artist on Spotify and just start playing through all their songs seeing if anything else stands out

and that's just for one genre (hardstyle) not taking into account trance music, metal, ambient/chillout, vaporwave, techno etc

It's just a never ending quest to hear new music and keep pushing my boundaries

There's also a BIG catch, you're predisposed to liking the music you heard during your youth the most:

“Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for good. When we make neural connections to a song, we also create a strong memory trace that becomes laden with heightened emotion, thanks partly to a surfeit of pubertal growth hormones. These hormones tell our brains that everything is incredibly important—especially the songs that form the soundtrack to our teenage dreams (and embarrassments)…

This might explain why I still love a cheeky listen to Korn or Limpbizkit every now and then 🤣
