Ils appellent ça la "paralysie musicale".
Bon, à vrai dire ce n'est pas (encore) mon cas, j'aime toujours découvrir et être (parfois) surpris. Mais je suis quand même un vieux con.
Et vous?
The cliché that most people stop listening to new music as they get older is one of those clichés that became a cliché for a reason… which is to say, it’s largely true. Obviously, there are exceptions (including, but not limited to, those of us who at least partially make our living seeking out new blood), but generally speaking, if you stop any random person on the street and ask him or her about their all-time favorite albums, they’re gonna start listing shit they first discovered as teenagers.
And as if there was any doubt that this is the case, a new survey conducted by the streaming service Deezer claims to have confirmed as much, according to loudersound.com:
“[T]he survey finds that something called ‘musical paralysis’ – when music fans stop discovering new music – is most likely to hit those aged 30 years and six months.
“Quizzed on the reasons why they stopped caring, people said everything from having kids to simply being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of music out there.
“If that wasn’t depressing enough, 60 per of the people questioned said that they felt stuck in a musical rut, only listening to artists they already know.”
Of course, we’re missing some of the key information we need to truly gauge the accuracy of this survey, like the sample size, what questions were asked, and how they were asked… in fact, if we assume that everyone who took the survey was a Deezer subscriber, that would immediately taint the survey’s results.
Having said all of that… again, this isn’t hard to believe. But even if it’s true, take some comfort in the knowledge that it means metal fans aren’t the only ones hopelessly stuck in the past.




 
  

 
  
 








 Cruchot Jr parle de CAMEL, j'ai découvert le groupe (par les albums des années 70) il y a seulement 5 ans, c'est du tout frais. J'écoute énormément de musique 70s, mais je suis toujours à l'affut de nouveautés, que ce soit des groupes actuels (je recite pour la 50ème fois SANHEDRIN,CHALICE, THE WIZARDS, SILVER MACHINE
