Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

There is huge divide between generations from the elders and it’s usually due to ignorance or superiority and it achieves nothing.

Preferred music doesn’t do much about it. Your focus in it was the main thing that confused me.

If you had mentioned having discussions about ideas I would understood better.

I honestly think your view is weird. Why wouldn’t you want to understand your fellow humans more.

Again, you mentioned music, which for “understanding my fellow humans” is fundamentally irrelevant to me. Discussions about philosophy, ethics, or politics are much more relevant.

Or maybe you just want to understand why they like the music they like and nothing beyond that, which is valid, but painting it as “understanding fellow humans” is a little too grandiose.
