[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9357772, member: 6796661"] Certainly a lot of truth to that, but I've been noticing this trend on You Tube videos where there will be some new musician--doesn't really matter the genre, though rap and country seem to draw these comments the most--and you'll start seeing a lot of comments like "I'm a 65 year old grandmother and never like rap/country, but your song really spoke to me..." It is enough of a trend that you see people making jokes about it ("I'm 250 years old, but I loved this"). Anyone at any age and fall in love with new music and get emotionally invested in it. But I wonder if it spike not only in one's teens, but also when you are older. You are less absorbed in your career and raising young kids, and also have decades of life experience that you start getting more introspective about. I've noticed in my own life that I've gotten back into listing to a lot more new music in my 50s than I did from my mid-20s through my 40s. [/QUOTE]
