The especially applies to things like music. I get flak from a good buddy all the time because I still like the heavy stuff. He has transitioned into light jazz and string quartets because "At my age I can appreciate them". No, you changed because you feel that you need to prove how mature and sophisticated you are (in his case not everybody). He got rid of his 100s of hard rock albums because "I just find it noise now" and says I should do the same. BULLSHIT I hate that crap and feel no need to change because I am older.
There must still be young people in every generation that enjoy the classical stuff or it would be gone by now. Those "old people" now all come from the era where metal was born are not contemporaries to the generation that wrote the classics.

Agree 100%
The other day I had Alexa crank up The Tubes "White punks on dope". My 16 yo comes out of his room, "Dad, turn it down!" I started laughing.
I still have all my rock, just converted it to CD over the years. Most friends listen to country now
