Man I must be an outlier apparently, I don't listen to any of the music from my teens or even my twenties except in rare nostalgia trips. I'm constantly finding newly released songs that I like and even cringe at some of the music I liked as a youth. I don't think I can even define an era of "best music" - there're so many great songs across all music.
Same. I'll rarely put on music from my teen years (90s for me), but for the most part I'm listening to stuff released from the past 5-10 years, or older stuff I've recently discovered from before my time. There is great music (and shit) from every decade.
A few months ago I decided to listen to a few albums I used to be obsessed with as a teen. I just... didn't feel anything anymore. The music used to vibe with my teenage angsty energy, but being in my 30s now it just doesn't hit the same.
Meanwhile, I still rock out to classic rock and oldies from before my time. I was just singing Steve Miller Band and The Beatles on my way home from work - no radio, just felt like singing.
Though some stuff I listened to in my youth is more relevant now than ever. Songs written during the Bush era criticizing politics are as cathartic to scream out as they used to be...
