Is there more of a phenomenon of people listening to all/every genre or at least a ton of them? 20-30 years ago shit was a lot cliquish with punks, metalheads, hip hop fans, etc. having their own subcultures and people thought old music was cheesy. Now I notice zoomer listen to all genres and a ton even listen to old/boomer music without any reservations.
idk isn't it just whatever song is popular on TikTok at the moment? I don't think it's any different from people in olden times just listening to whatever was on the radio.
No, there have always been people who listen to everything but the “cliques” are the loudest.
Gen Z isn’t special

it was a big phenomenon for millennials who, to some extent, and through rampant unregulated music piracy, became curators of their own ipods. but now that music has been once again concentrated, except into a handful of streaming platforms, it's less of a thing, there's no need to curate anymore, just consuming the algorithm. and the spaces for debate and curation are slowly turning deserted.
>>12181Im gen z and listen to 'all genres' but I have a predominate preference for certain types of music so I guess that counts
>>12181There might be something to it, but going back earlier like to the 1980s… at least from what I can tell listening to some interviews with old musicians who were making music back then. Like your style of clothes and the kind of music you listened to was serious business!
