The thing is that if you don't consciously seek out new stuff you continue at those points in your lives. There was a book on music that was edited by George Martin and in his piece he said something to the effect that "you will never grow old if you know what is in the top 40". I think he is right and I wish I didn't give the book away because my gf at the time wanted to give it to her nephew. But it means that you have to work at knowing the new stuff you don't have to like it just be aware of it. I must admit I don't want to know because I can't stand the thought of Taylor Swift it happens when you get old.
