Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago? (beehaw.org)

I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?

I'm more focused on new releases by bands I've listened to for a long time. Mostly rock, folk, and pop from the 80s/90s.

But I also got into EDM a little while ago and added a lot of new and old stuff to my frequent plays.

I don't want to be the old grumpy guy, but the current pop music is very rarely pleasant for me... Queue the struggle for control when I'm in the car with the kids: We found that Yacht Rock is safe territory for all :p

Please elaborate more on this "Yacht Rock." it has certainly piqued my interest.

Pretty much anything that sounds like Steely Dan.

Oh, that's a can of worms :p
