I'm in the latter half of my 20s and am discovering new music at a rate faster than I have ever before.

Granted, none of this is popular music - the latest discographies I've added to my collection are some unsigned metal bands from the Middle East - but I'm curious how this changes when you go from just pop music to music discovery in general.




Which metal bands? I'm in my mid thirties, but in my late twentites I was also discovering new music I liked at a high rate -- and playing in a metal band, which helps a lot. Invariably musicians are listening to things that most people don't; they're on the leading edge.

In other words, I think you can avoid the frozen dad syndrome by hanging out with musicians :)


There has been some recent press on AlNamrood, so I went and looked into a bunch of other bands from the region - basically went to metal-archives.com and searched by country, and went and grabbed a bunch of stuff off bandcamp

(The country list feature on MA is pretty awesome! Plan on using it some more in the future to try and find interesting bands)
