    No fate but what we make. You can put in the effort to keep your mind and your ears open. Absolutely worth it IMHO.

      Gosh, absolutely. I’ll go on a nostalgia trip now and again, but there are soooo many artists doing such fantastic things nowadays.

      Absolutely! I’ve discovered some amazing modern artists, mostly via film and TV (streaming series) soundtracks, especially the latter.

        yep. I’ve come across some super cool young bands that sound exactly like the albums I love from 40 years ago!

      I try my best to do this, and find lots of great new music.

      I still find a lot of new popular music just doesn’t do it for me, and I think it’s because as you’ve heard more music, the it’s harder to find something that sounds fresh.

      When I was in the peak of that chart I was really into stuff like Spacehog, who seemed really cool to me at the time, but probably would have sounded a bit derivative to my parents. At the same time my dad loved Smashing Pumpkins enough to buy all their albums…
