You stop listening to new music at age 33, earlier for parents, study finds

This is really interesting. I've thought about this before, but it's been on my mind more recently when I watch The Voice. I find I'm tuning out when the contestants cover the newer songs, and tuning in when they cover the "classics" I'm more familiar with. That's one of the reasons I DVR it and never watch live.

I stopped subscribing to People a few years ago for the same reason, because I had no familiarity with the new "celebrities" they often feature. And no desire to educate myself on their activities, wardrobe, etc.
